After the prototype proves fun, expand to a full‑scale Ghosted Full world, add more nodes, and integrate the optional monetisation bundles.
Bottom Line: Ghosted Full turns the DigitalPlayground into a living, breathing haunted sandbox where Jasmine’s agility and Sherni’s tech prowess shine. Players get the freedom they love, plus a fresh layer of ghostly mystery, cooperative rituals, and story‑driven discovery—all without heavy new‑asset pipelines. This feature can be shipped in a 4‑6 week development window and will immediately boost engagement, especially among players looking for a blend of creative play and light‑hearted adventure. digitalplayground jasmine sherni ghosted full
Ghosted Full is an immersive, narrative‑driven sandbox mode that lets players explore a “ghost‑filled” version of the DigitalPlayground world together with two iconic avatars – Jasmine (the agile explorer) and Sherni (the tech‑savvy guardian). The mode blends free‑form creation, light‑puzzle solving, and emergent storytelling, encouraging both solo and cooperative play while keeping the core sandbox feel of the platform.

| Component | Description | Approx. Development Effort | |-----------|-------------|---------------------------| | Ghost‑Layer System | Procedurally generate ghost objects based on seed + player progress. Uses a lightweight shader for semi‑transparent rendering. | 2‑3 sprints (engine integration + UI). | | Phase‑Shift Mechanics | Physics toggle (collision disabled, visual filter applied). Handles network sync for co‑op. | 1 sprint (single‑player), +½ sprint for netcode. | | Spectral Scanner Gadget | Ray‑cast + post‑process overlay to highlight ghost signatures; UI shows glyphs. | 1 sprint. | | Capture Mini‑Game | Simple timing/precision mechanic; integrates with resource manager. | 1 sprint. | | Sync‑Ritual System | Event listener for avatar positions; triggers world‑state change. | 1 sprint (including visual FX). | | Narrative Node Framework | Modular quest nodes with trigger scripts, dialogue, and reward tables. | 2‑3 sprints (content pipeline). | | Balancing & Polish | Playtesting, difficulty scaling, UI/UX refinements. | Ongoing (≈2‑4 weeks after core is functional). | Bottom Line: Ghosted Full turns the DigitalPlayground into
All assets can reuse existing particle systems and sound libraries, keeping art overhead low.
| Element | What It Is | Player Interaction | |---------|------------|--------------------| | Ghost‑Layer | A semi‑transparent overlay that populates the map with ghost objects (flickering platforms, echo‑sound cues, spectral NPCs). | Players can see, hear, and interact with the ghost layer using special tools. | | Jasmine’s “Phase‑Shift” Ability | Jasmine can temporarily become a ghost, passing through solid objects and revealing hidden pathways. | Activate with Shift‑J – holds for 3 s, cooldown 12 s. | | Sherni’s “Spectral Scanner” Gadget | A handheld device that visualises ghost‑energy signatures and decodes puzzle patterns. | Press S to scan; results appear as colored glyphs that hint at the correct interaction. | | Ghost‑Capture Mini‑Game | Capture wandering spirits in glowing orbs to earn resources (Spectral Dust, Echo Fragments). | Use a combo of Jasmine’s Phase‑Shift and Sherni’s Scanner to locate and trap ghosts. | | Co‑Op Sync‑Ritual | When both avatars stand on mirrored ghost‑platforms, a “Ritual” triggers, unlocking a Full‑World Reveal (the entire map lights up, hidden quests appear). | Requires timed coordination – perfect for friends or AI‑partner. | | Full‑World Narrative Nodes | Once the Full‑World Reveal is active, story “nodes” appear (e.g., abandoned labs, forgotten gardens). Each node is a self‑contained quest that expands the lore of Jasmine, Sherni, and the ghost phenomenon. | Players can accept, complete, or ignore nodes, shaping the world’s evolution. |
