This is a wip! I’m not done yet!!! It’s also a wiki BUT ONLY FOR ME TO EDIT!!!
please don’t mention gorilla tag in the comments, I have no idea what it is and this was NOT related to it.
Well, it’s time to make another guide! Welcome to Septdraconian Ghost in the Graveyard! In case you didn’t know, ghost in the graveyard is a game in which one player is the “ghost” and they go off and hide somewhere. Then all of the other players count to midnight, and then go out and look for the “ghost”. Whoever finds the “ghost” yells “ghost in the graveyard” and alerts the other players. The “ghost” comes out from their hiding spot and chases all the players down. The players run back to their base, but if anyone gets tagged by the “ghost”, they become the next “ghost”. So! Time to make this in Gimkit.
The Terrain
Always start a guide off right by placing terrain down! Yaaayy…Yeah, decorating is often the most boring part of the game unless you’re a designer and love to do all the fancy schmancy detailing. Anyways… time to start!
First, you need to decide on the theme of your Ghost in the Graveyard. There are many ways you could go, so here are some ideas to get you started:
- Outer space (ie One Way Out, Level 6 Don’t Look Down)
- Snowy forest/wasteland (ie Snowbrawl, Snowy Survival, Level 5 Don’t Look Down)
- Farmland/plains (ie Farmchain, Snowy Survival, Level 4 Don’t Look Down)
- Echo vs Vortex (ie Capture the Flag, Tag Domination, Snowy Survival, Level 3 Don’t Look Down)
- Medieval (ie Level 1 Don’t Look Down)
- Undersea/beach (ie Fishtopia, Snowy Survival, Level 2 Don’t Look Down)
- Whatever else you can think of!
Once you fill your graveyard area with terrain and props, it should look nice and clean, not cluttered with too many props, but not empty either.
Btw if you make this game, feel free to add a photo in the comments of your terrain and I’ll update my guide to include it! (Not too late tho, otherwise the editing limit will run out….)
Teams and Bases
Now that you’re done with the terrain, it’s time to add some walls so the players don’t escape randomly. Get a Barrier or two or three or four and make the visibility 1%… They can’t see it now, can they? Make them really thin and place them right outside the edges of the map.
Now, go into settings and make the teams cooperative. Now, add a Lifecycle device and set it down somewhere that it won’t get in the way. Get a Relay (Single Player) Once you’ve finished that, wire the Lifecycle to the Relay in which when the lifecycle senses game start, it activates the relay. Then, place down a Team Switcher device and change it to team 2. Wire the Relay to the Team Switcher and make it switch the player’s team when the relay receives a pulse. Next, place a Popup (wired to the relay) that says something like this:
You are the ghost…hide among the various props and things in the Graveyard until you see that a player has called “Ghost in the Graveyard” and chase down any player you see
Now, place a Spawn Pad down where you want to put the players’ bases. Make it team 1 and game only. Place another Spawn Pad wherever you want the “Ghost” to spawn, preferably somewhere near the players’ base, but not too close.
Once you do that…place down a Lifecycle(Game Start) and wire it to another Relay(All Players on Specific Team [Team 1]) Wire that to a Popup that says something along the lines of:
Yaaaay you’re a normal person! Once it is midnight, go out to look for the ghost, and once you spot them, press the button that says “Ghost in the Graveyard” and that will make them able to tag you so GET BACK TO BASE IMMEDIATELY!!
