Sunwave Hotel News

New Erotic Scenes

Special Reward with Triss after her interview. The pluck reporter from Island 2 finally gets to interview you. Her scene can play out in one of two ways depending on if you take the dom path or the sub path.
Special Date Night with Omi and Olera. The Shark Twins are excited to repay you for your rescue. This scene occurs at the conclusion of the Smuggler's Faction, so if you haven't played through it already, this is a great time to start.
4 Scenes added to the Main Gallery that you can access in the Main Menu.
2 new Selfie Scenes added. One for Zatanka and one for Vynore.

Story Events

Spend some time with Omi and Olera. The daughters of the cartel boss have been through a lot and their place on Onakinii is uncertain.
Talk to Vynore on Island 1 to learn more about her backstory and why she came to the islands.
Zatanka is in the mood to work out. The spunky Ortheon wants to be your personal trainer and if you agree, she may have a special prize for you.
Overview

Over 18k new words added to this update.
2 new erotics scenes.
2 naughty selfies.
Fixing up the intros and backstories for some of the main companions.

P.S. I think we have a broken background for Omi and Olera's Date night. Will work to replace that shortly.

Hello everyone.

Heading into the weekend here so I wanted to make sure to put out a small update. I'm happy to report that this month the coder has been hard at work building in a proper Back Button function in the game.

This will allow players to rewind things if they end up making a choice during a dialogue that they don't enjoy, or if they run into other issues.

Beyond the button, we have also been working to allow players to Save during conversations and to Load back into those points. This will allow for more freedom and allow players to save at any point during the game if life interferes as it often does.

Anyhow, like I said this is a small post but it is big news for those who have been waiting for these features. We are confident that they will be part of the next update.

They work, but they're a little imprecise so we still have a little bit of tweaking to go. I have also been hard at work outlining the new quests and scenes that I want to build for the final update of 2023.

Stay tuned and have a great weekend.

WQ

Trick or Treat!

Wishing everyone a fun and spooky night this Halloween. October has been a whirlwind for Sunwave Hotel and I can't wait to see how things go for the remainder of the year.

The coder is working on adding more functions to polish up gameplay and I've been working on organizing new scene art while also locking down to write the next main quest section for Xun and Kuhno's adventure.

Next major game update should come around late November or Early December.

Patch Notes

It's strange I thought I made a post when I was uploading the new build but I guess not.

Hey just here to say that the game has been updated again with another small bug fix to patch some more of the rough spots. Keep those bug reports coming. I'm always looking to improve and polish up the game.

Specifics
The Back Button during scenes should now be fully functional now. We're also looking into adding a regular Back Button for during conversations.
Improved Adoka Conversation. This is when you're talking to her and getting to know her better.
Day Counter is now in the Status Menu, not just on the screen.

Future Fixes
Dedicated Back Button
Graphic Scaling - Apparently, this is an issue for some users.
Fixing Mac Save Bug - There is a Mac build for the game but we haven't been able to fix a save bug issue.
Saving during conversations
Journal and Codex. Something to keep track of your progress on the Main Quest, and something to give players more lore for the species and world of Sunwave Hotel.
Fix issues with Kuhno Conversation in the Guest House.
Improve dialogue for your first meeting with Kaci to clarify what she is talking about and ensure it's easy to get to her scene or skip it if you don't like it.

Hello Outlaws

This week has been a whirlwind. I've been delighted to meet many of you who picked up Sunwave Hotel and gave me some feedback. We've already got our first bugfix update out, hopefully further improving the game while we're still in the first month of Early Access.

As a special treat, I wanted to show off a trio of lovely ladies who will have an impact on the next big update to the story of Sunwave Hotel.

From left to right, we have Keylan, Badyrii, and Firah. I'm really happy with how their designs came out, and I can't wait to introduce them to players as the story of Island 3 continues to unfold.

v14.11 Patchnotes

• Fixed a lot of dead ends that might lock up your progression in the game.
  
• Fixed a list of typos along with some issues where the Player's Custom Name was not showing.
  

If you run into bugs or broken issues, please drop a note in the Community Hub Bug Reporting Section or come over to the Discord Server and drop a line there.

General Thoughts

It's kind of surreal thinking about how the game has only been out since this Monday. It feels like it's almost been a month. The reception has been great, way better than I expected, and I want to thank each and every one of you who has picked up the game during Early Access. It's already going to make a huge impact on development and has also been the biggest endorsement that I have been working on crafting something cool for people to dig into after a long day.

And we're just getting started!

Have a great weekend.
