Project Timeline, Cute Plushies & Kickstarter Preview

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.

Hotel Galactic is a cosy management game that aims to channel Spirited Away

I try to avoid describing video games in mathematical terms, but I can hardly avoid it here. Treasure Planet's flying galleons plus Spirited Away's bath house plus Spiritfarer's gentle building and management mechanics equals Hotel Galactic. Watch the trailer below and tell me I'm wrong.

Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer collide in new hotel management sim

If running a hotel is hard, I can't imagine the day-to-day of an intergalactic bed and breakfast is much easier. There'll be more colorful characters, sure, but now you've got to cater to the alien needs of your guests on top of that 6am wake-up call. With clear Studio Ghibli, Stardew Valley, and Spiritfarer inspirations, the newly announced Hotel Galactic puts you in this exact position - so I hope you're good at poring over the books by oil lamp late at night.
