[p]No, you’re not seeing things. Up to 90% off Wired games on Steam. This isn’t one of those “polite discounts” – this is the kind of sale that makes your wishlist weep and your backlog beg for mercy.[/p][p]For nearly 20 years, we’ve been doing things our way – publishing the weird, the bold, the unforgettable. Games with soul. Games that get under your skin. Games that make you laugh, scream, and sometimes question reality itself. And for one week only, you can snag them for less than the price of your morning coffee.[/p][p]Here’s just a taste of the chaos waiting for you:[/p]

• [p]Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks (-50%) 🚗💥 – Explosions, orcs, and racing mayhem. With big updates landing in October, now’s the time to jump in.[/p]

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]…and that’s just scratching the surface.[/p][p]This isn’t just a sale – it’s a love letter to indie madness. Wired doesn’t do ordinary, and neither should you. Grab the games that everyone talks about, the ones that hit differently, the ones that stay with you long after the credits roll.[/p][p]👉 The Wired Productions Publisher Sale is live September 4–11, 2025.

See you on the strip next week 🥳[/p][p] -- The Hotel Architect Team[/p]

[p]Hey Hoteliers, [/p][p] We know you're all eagerly waiting on a date for the release of the Las Vegas and casinos update, and we'll be able to give you that very soon!

Today we've got a little sneak preview of what you can expect in the update, and while not everything is in these shots, there's plenty to look at! This way you'll be able to start planning how you want to lay out your casinos and new hotels 😊

Las Vegas as a map will be 18 x 18 across 8 floors, so that's even bigger than New York with 2592 tiles. It's a huge amount of space to build in and you could possibly have a floor with a mega casino in if you wanted. We're also including 3 financial starting options again for those that like more of a challenge!

[/p][p]The casino zone can be any shape/size that you would like and you can even place it around a bar zone which would be quite fitting.

You can have multiples of each table, but remember you will need to have staff to cover them all if its suddenly busy. Croupiers are the new staff type coming with the update and they can move between types of table. If one has guests waiting but their current one doesn't, they will head over to run the game.
[/p][p][/p][p]Casinos can contain a variety of 5 types of casino tables - roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps and a fortune wheel, plus 3 versions of slot machines for your casinos.

Each requires a cash deposit and must stay above a certain threshold to remain operational and you’ll need to tailor bet sizes to suit your guest types, just like you do with your guest rooms.
[/p][p][/p][p]We’re also rolling out a bunch of new furniture and items to help you capture that iconic Vegas atmosphere! Think glitz, glamour, and a touch of extravagance.. or just a fancy car on show in the middle of the room if you want. [/p][p]Your casinos can be overwhelmingly with bright light pillars and noise or a more dialled back and sophisticated vibe, you decide![/p][p][/p][p]

So what do you think? We hope you're excited and we'll have more news for you soon!
