Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion News

Hey everyone! I would like to happily announce that Spooky's is being remade in the Unity engine. Here's what that means in a sweet bullet point style because I love bullet points.

• Updated graphics
  
• 3D models will now replace the old 2D specimen models
  
• Full controller support for various controllers
  
• Mac, Linux, and Windows ports because Unity allows for that
  
• Options like screen resolution, volume control, invert mouse, mouse sensitivity etc
  
• More minigames
  
• A few new specimen for Endless mode
  
• Allowing multiple specimen to appear at once during chases
  
• More cool music
  
• More easter eggs
  
• VR support for Oculus Rift and Vive
  
• Ability to flip between old and new specimens models in-game at any point with the press of a button.
  
• Steam Trading Cards, Emotes and Steam Backgrounds - You guys have been asking, now it's time.
  

Spooky's is just being REMADE in a different engine which means the story and all the specimen encounters are all still the same like the original game but will have 3D models, run more smoothly upon play, you won't get stuck on corners or doors anymore. Cool things like that. This new port will also be packaged with the DLC automatically and will cost about 5 to 10 dollars due to packaging the DLC AND VR support.

We are NOT removing the original Spooky's off the Steam store, IndieDB or anywhere else. This will be it's own product for those who wish to have it. If you don't like the price, you can continue to play the original game because it won't be taken down.

This game is set to release for Christmas of this year. (2016)

This new port will solve a lot of major issues that Spooky's has including collision issues, controller support issues, Steam overlay and Steam streaming issues, graphical issues and performance issues.

Get hype!

Hello Fleshlings,

Psychobilly2422 here, you might’ve noticed a few updates recently, and we here at Lag Studios owe you an explanation. What happened is around July of last year we received a cease & desist for using the name “Spooky’s House of Jump Scares” because a company called “Spooky House Studios” is trying to get the trademark for “Spooky House”. They are mobile developers based in Germany and already have the trademark in the European Union, and demanded we change our name.

When this happened we started working with the most excellent lawyer Ryan Morrison who was very sympathetic to our plight. He showed us our options and helped understand associated risks, but unfortunately, being a staff of two who released a free game, we didn’t really have the means to deal with an international legal battle. While the terms of our settlement are confidential, and I have been advised by Ryan to not share anything further, our game will now be titled Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion. We are currently propagating new builds and new branding out everywhere, and thank you for bearing with us through all of this!

Sincerely,
The Lag Studios Team

Hey everyone.

First, Akuma Kira and I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on the game. There's a major reason we've been silent and unfortunately we can't really reveal that yet.

What I can reveal is that we've been testing our new update and so far so good.

Here's what's going on, sorta.

• Graphic changes- can't say what yet.
  
  
• Updated menu
  
  
• Endless mode, hopefully if all works out as planned
  
  
• Better/Updated controller support
  
  
• A more clean save system
  

We hope to make this all available in a month, wish us luck!

Thank you for the love, support, and patience you've given us and Spooky.
