Maybe older versions have more cut stuff in it?? Im kinda searching for original 1.0.20 version, but i can't find it I must say I highly doubt it. But they did include a surprising ammount of cut content in the released game already. However it is odd that they did not include some of the other cut content (like the cowboy or the director ghost and the missing levels). Maybe the development wasn't as advanced or them including the cut stuff they did was just an accident in the first place. It would be great if you could just contact the devs and they could release the cut content and the editor as it is. They won't do anything with it anyway and if they had done so back in the 2000's Ghost Master would be much more popular today with mods and stuff. However it supposedly doesn't work that way. All efforts like this done on this board were to no avail in the end. The weirdest things can re-surface in the internet though. It's extremely unlikely but perhaps some of the content could re-surace somewhere sometime. Apart rom the old videos and concepts art, I haven't really seen anything like this though, no actual game files and nothing to use the editor. Our best hopes currently are what's still in the game and if there perhaps is a way to mod it effectively.

if you really dive deep into it from screenshots to videos to stuff in the game files A LOT of stuff was changed or cut this game still needed a year or so before it should have been declared finished.. its just a shame most of the interesting stuff are levels and a few ghosts.. I really like Thorne and "The Abysmal" im thinking of doing a tribute video to Thorne but Azreal is also cool Yeah, it's a real shame, they cut some of their best and most interesting/least formulaic concepts. Something like The Absymal, The Appartment complex, The Baseball field or The Carter missions would have been completely different from the rest in one way or the other and would have added immensely the the charme and diversity of the game, and while Soulscreach and Azrael both resembled existing characters, Smoking Joe, Thorne, the director and the cowboy were all really different from the rest and it would be hard to even place them in a category (while Soulcreach is clearly a Banshee and Azrael is a headless horseman). Apart from the levels and ghosts I also dread that it seems like they cut work on the roaming feature. It's still in the game of course but it doesn't work all that well.

Yes I was always dissapointed by the "Roam at will" order as they will wander around but rarely use their powers which defeats the purpose.. also if you do some digging the Dragoon actually had a head! pretty cool im assuming they intended for him to throw his head or do other things like the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow does.. also if you look around you can make guesses as to ghosts who were changed during devolopment obviouls static arclight etc make sense but some ghosts like Terroreyes seem random and I beleive he says something about being worked on by governement agents or something so maybe he was in the same area Soulscreech was who also was experminted on.. theres alot to specualte on if you look around for a while. As for cut content being in earlier versions im sad to say I havent found hardly any.. I downloaded the demo and everything looked and played the same and the only difference in files were some the obvious missing files (being a demo) and a txt file thats not there in the final game although it dsicusses graphics I think, I talked to Nemesis about it (hope your doing well Nemesis) and we think its related to the game engine. I would love to see a site like The cutting room floor make a page about Ghost master

I already contacted few developers. They said its impossible to get them.. All the files are probably deleted cuz the game is so old... And yeah.. The game in trailers and other videos looks so much better.. Its quite sad that its not that great as it was supposed to be

we can either try rummaging through the console versions or we can only hope somehow someone finds a beta CD. Best bet otherwise is to take the knowledge we know and re-create it as people like Woitek continue to crack the game and build tools for it (we appreciate your hard work!)

Oh fantastic find, was looking for this for a while.I though this to be completely lost.
some clips I was talking about in another thread: Shadowy blob in the Gothic mansion clip at 3:55 GWWN model & bullet stagger animation clip at 4:48
The stag head laughing animation files are still in the files, but not sure if you can activate them ingame.

I dont think the stag animations do anything, I have never seen it happen but since they are still there it should be easy enough to look at them maybe through bsp swapping

I remember that stag head alive after using one of ghost powers, but which exactly? I don't remember.
You can use save editor, or Ghost editor for test that in game.
