Check Inn News

Hooray-hooray-hooray! Finally, everyone can play Check Inn! Early access starts today. As always, we are waiting for your feedback.



We have already planned what will appear in the game in the next updates. In addition to minor improvements, we are working on the implementation of underground parking lots, a new service room (Internet cafe) and a five-star hotel. Further plans completely depend on the success of the game now, and of course, on your support. The more players purchase the game, the more different ideas we can implement. And believe us, we have quite a few of them. Therefore, if you liked the game, please tell your friends about it.

No more waiting, let's go accommodate and serve guests! We hope you like the game!

As always, we invite you to our Discord server to discuss the release - http://discord.gg/invite/9eHyYap and to subscribe to our page on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/developer/kishmish.

We are less than a week away from Check Inn's release into early access. We are actively preparing for the release day and are already making plans for the first updates.

We've decided to add another service room and a new role in the hotel - exterminator.



On some levels, after a guest has checked out, insects appear in the room. To get rid of them, you need to build an exterminator's room. In it, they prepare an insect repellent and spray it in the infested rooms. More exterminators can only be hired by building more rooms.



We have also started working on adding underground parking lots. In the future, some guests will demand a parking space. So, we will need to make sure that the parking lot always has parking spots available. It will be possible to build three stories down underground.

We hope that you will enjoy Check Inn. It is your support that will determine how many ideas we will be able to implement in this game in the updates during early access. And we have a lot of them.

Check Inn's release date has been revealed - January 2025, in just a month! Closer to that date, we'll also be publishing our plans for the first updates to the game. In the meantime, check out the new trailer showing the basics of the gameplay.

[h2]Today we will share information about what we are currently working on.[/h2]

But first, let us tell you about the new feature in Steam for creating separate pages for demo versions of games. They look almost the same as the pages of standalone games. We decided to give it a try, and now the Check Inn demo version has its own page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2963670/Check_Inn_Demo/

An important feature of the demo versions presented on a separate page is the ability to write reviews. Therefore, if you have already tried the demo - please leave a review there. And if you haven't tried it yet - it's the perfect time to catch up!

Guest reviews of their hotel stay
We decided to add guest reviews. When a guest checks out of the hotel, they leave a review of the hotel, giving it a rating on a five-point scale. Their rating is taken into account in the overall rating of the hotel, which can be seen at any time. When calculating the rating, various parameters are taken into account: the speed of their check-in, how quickly they got to the room by elevator, the speed of service (such as sauna, food delivery and laundry), the temperature in the room during their stay (on levels with variable temperature). It will be possible to open a separate window and read text reviews, which in some cases will help you understand what you need to pay attention to when developing the hotel. At the end of the level, this final rating will be used in the leaderboard as the player's main competitive indicator, that is, it will serve as a multiplier to all the other parameters when counting up your total score.

Free mode
We are working on a special mode that will be perfect for players who like long gaming sessions. Here you will be able to choose the difficulty level, hotel star rating and background that suits you. However, hotels and backgrounds in free mode are unlocked by completing regular levels. You will be able to compete with other players for a place in the leaderboard. Moreover, the higher the difficulty level, the more opportunities you have to score more points.



As you can see, we are continuing development at the same active pace. There is not much time left before the game is released in early access. And we will announce the exact release date of the game soon in a separate post. So, stay tuned!

The update is really important, so those who have already completed the demo are invited to play again. The gameplay really feels different now.

The most important thing is that we have added service rooms. That is, any guest who stays at the hotel for more than 3 nights may want:

• Food delivery from the kitchen to their room. Accordingly, the hotel must have at least one kitchen.
  
• Washing their dirty clothes. In this case, the guest leaves a basket with dirty clothes in the hallway, and the porter must take it to the laundry. There, the clothes are loaded into the washing machine (or machines). When the washing is finished, the porter takes the clean clothes back to the room.
  
• Take a steam bath in the sauna. The guest themselves goes by elevator to the floor where the sauna is located and occupies one of the rooms in it for a while. One room - one guest.
  

As you can see, a new important role has been added to the hotel - the porter. They can carry two items on their carts: food, dirty or clean laundry. If you see that one porter can no longer cope with the delivery, you can hire a few more.

Each of the service rooms can be upgraded. For example, in the kitchen, you can increase the speed of cooking, their quality, capacity (affects the number of ready meals that the porter can pick up at any time).


We also added the ability to zoom the camera in and out. This can be done using the mouse wheel. And you can now move the camera to the side using the arrows on the keyboard or the WASD keys.
Due to the mentioned changes, the entire demo version level has undergone a serious rebalance. Please let us know about your opinion on this update. Did you like the fact that the gameplay in the game is becoming more profound? As always, we read all messages and try to respond to them.


We remind you that the best way not to miss the release of the game is to add it to your Wishlist. This way, you will receive a message by email at the time of release.
