Ghost, the new MMO from a studio led by former WoW and Riot MMO lead Greg Street, just shared its first real development update, offering a peek at a game so early in development that I'm hoping it inspires a new wave of transparency across the industry.
Earlier this week, Greg Street, game director on Project Ghost and studio head at developer Fantastic Pixel Castle, announced that his team was about to show off the game for the first time, but warned MMO fans that at this stage, it would "look like ass." In the newly-released Milestone 1 Updates blog post, the team lived up to those claims. Ghost is currently in a state that's barely above the 'grey box' stage of development, and community manager Faye is quick to point out that "everything" on show in the blog post - from the character to the environments to the UI - is placeholder content taken from Unreal Engine marketplace assets.
