Hotel Galactic News

Hey there, travelers!

Today, another SimFest on Steam has started. It is full of amazing games, and Hotel Galactic is among them! We are honored to join the selection of the best upcoming and currently released games from the sim genre. While exploring a variety of titles available during the Sim Festival, take a moment to look at our cozy, Ghibli-inspired hotel simulator.



If you are already here, you might want to visit our Kickstarter, where amazing exclusive rewards are waiting for you to obtain, together with Alpha Access to the game with digital bonuses and adorable physical add-ons.

As we are entering the third week of our campaign with almost 70% funded, we are presenting a new, exclusive set of skins to enchant your Hotel Galactic with flowery-rustical charm! Take a look at this amazing Rustic Daisy Set, a new bunch of skins available as an add-on for ALL Kickstarter backers.

We heard you, and as many of the backers who decided to support us and get access to the game’s Alpha playtests will receive the “First Visitor” skin, we wanted to dedicate Rustic Daisy to everyone who supported us!

Check our new Kickstarter update here to learn more about Kickstarter-exclusive, “Rustic Daisy Set” and join us on the last week of the campaign, as later this week we will reveal one more surprise for our community!

To celebrate this special occasion, we’ve prepared the first behind-the-scenes video for you to meet the team working on Hotel Galactic.

While we’re very busy with all the Kickstarter campaign preparations, the team is still making great progress on the development side. Right now, we are mostly focusing on polishing a nice and stable demo build for this year’s Gamescom.



And last but not least, if you’re in for more in-game footage, we’ve shared an exclusive preview build with a very wholesome YouTuber, Sarah Sunstone. Watch her take on the pre-alpha gameplay of Hotel Galactic:

Hey there, travelers!

With just a week before the big day, we’re excited to share more details about Hotel Galactic via the preview page for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign. Dive in to learn more about the game and let us know your thoughts and feedback. We encourage you to give the linked page a full read-through, but let’s go through some of the highlights here.



[h2]Project Timeline[/h2]
One of the aspects that most of you are probably interested in is the project timeline. Keep in mind that the dates are not set in stone as the game development process is often hard to predict accurately. Additionally our utmost priority is the game’s quality and thus some deadlines or release windows may end up being moved.



[h2]Early Gameplay[/h2]
Let’s step back to the gameplay part as we go over the three core aspects of the early-game in Hotel Galactic. At the very beginning, you’ll spend most of your time managing your first few employees, gathering resources, constructing new rooms and working on a brand new menu for the hotel’s restaurant. All to create a self-sustaining ecosystem using everything that the island has to offer.



[h2]The Cast of Hotel Galactic[/h2]
Hotel Galactic is set in an original world and features a variety of both endearing and badass characters. As you build and expand your own hotel, you will meet many of them along the way. Invite them for a warm meal and they may just tell you the story of their life.



[h2]Chonky Boys[/h2]
Last but definitely not least, we are super excited to unveil the design of three Kickstarer exclusive plushies: the scarf wearing tuba playing individual, a chonky deerret, and everyone’s favorite kitchen helper. If you want to get a taste of a true Hotel Galactic owner experience early, then these little fellas will sure help make your bedroom the cutest and coziest room out there! Everyone at Ancient Forge is already madly gushing about them.
