Fantastic Pixel Castle (FPC) is a new studio founded in 2023 to create our take on a modernized fantasy MMORPG, codenamed Ghost. ✨▪️🏰

Fantastic Pixel Castle's employees stand on stone docks in their pre-alpha build city, showing off the four early classes currently in game. There are Tempests, Songbirds, Sphinx Guards, and Dreamblades gathered on the stone pathway.

Early engine footage of a bug from the in-development MMO Ghost. A player character Dreamblade runs up to a bunch of villagers that all seem to be doing the worm. Like the dance. The song Get Low by Lil Jon starts in as the player joins in on the dance party, but the video stops before it can reach any non-Brand Approved (tm) lyrics.
An in-engine screenshot from the early development MMORPG, Project Ghost. A Tempest player looks on as an orange and white clad NPC dies melodramatically. His arms are outstretched (and possibly somewhat elongated due to a graphical bug) as he topples backward on a wooden platform, his face twisted in a horrible grimace.

An in-engine still shot from the early development MMO, Ghost. Twisted, ancient trees rise out of a rocky floating island covered in lush, verdant growth. Purple light shimmers from within the depths of the larger trees, hinting at unknown magics. Waterfalls cascade peacefully down the sides of the islands into the drift below. A wooden tower rises from palisades in the background.
