Retro mode combines some adjusted visual presentation and filter techniques to bring back the 'sat in front of the tv cross legged at midnight' nostalgia, and if we do say so ourselves... really adds a distinct charm to our nightmare filled research stations. Here's a little teaser of what it looks like in motion...

[p]Hey Hoteliers, [/p][p]We know we've been quiet since the Halloween update but do not fret, we're working on the next update which we reckon should make you all very happy as its been shown off before! We know you're all waiting patiently, and we're very grateful for this.

For now though we thought we'd share some of our favourite recent builds we've seen uploaded on steam and in the community discord server, which you can join here by the way![/p][h2]
Community Builds[/h2][p] First up Sebduction's build with an open plan bar, casino and restaurant in one! A great use of space and a well laid out hotel! It ticks all our boxes.[/p][p]Second is Danielkenen1975's organised chaos of a casino - an eclectic mix of patterns but we feel right at home as alot of casinos have this vibe! If we were guests here, we'd spend so much money in the casino![/p][p][/p][p]Next we have Dgamo's purple luxury lobby! A touch of class, yet still practical and the use of the corner carpets makes for an interesting detail.[/p][p]HLS417AAA's ultra compact backpacker build with SO MANY rooms. Looks like somebody has taken a leaf out of producer Jono's book![/p][p]Troimi's eerily haunted gothic build! We love all the dark tones in this one, it would fit right in as a themed hotel in Vegas![/p][p]Thank you for all these epic builds, we love seeing what you all create and we'd love to see some more over the holiday season!

[/p][h2]Now onto some news! [/h2][p][/p][p]Some of you may have noticed on the Steam Page that we recently updated the roadmap. We did this to make it more digestible and clear as to what's coming and we are happy to say that we will be ticking some of these things off before the end of the year! So you know when we say 'soon', well soon has a deadline now for a few bits, but we cant tell you what they are just yet. 😏


We know you've all been waiting patiently for a new update, and it is coming, so hold onto your hotel building pants, because the next one is pretty darn cool, if we do say so ourselves.

Anyways, that's all we can say for now, so we'll see you soon and happy building!

[p]The doors are open, the guests are waiting, and the chaos is calling. our brand-new demo is here, and it’s your chance to design the hotel of your dreams… or nightmares. Boutique luxury? Sure. A labyrinth of doom with 47 toilets and no exits? Also yes. We’re not here to judge.
