GAMEDEV LOG #8

Hey everyone! 👋

Hope you're all doing great. We’ve got a fresh update for Holiday Motel Simulator and wanted to give you a quick peek at what we’ve been cooking up - literally, in some cases. 😄

Lately, we’ve been focused on making the beach area feel way more alive and… well, vacation-y. There’s also been a bunch of polish and behind-the-scenes improvements to help everything run smoother. Let’s break it down:

🍹 The Beach is Getting Busy!

We’ve finally added two big features:

Beach Bar Drinks - You will be able to mix and serve drinks in the evenings. The system is fully functional (with more visual tweaks coming soon), so get ready to channel your inner beach bartender soon!

Beach Food Service – During the day, you'll be serving simple meals to hungry beachgoers.

The beach isn’t just for chilling anymore... it’s for cooking and mixing too. 😎



😴 Simplified Sleep System
Sleeping is a lot more straightforward now. You can choose to sleep until morning or evening, and the bed UI has been cleaned up to make it easier to use.

📱 Phone UI Got a Tune-Up
We gave the in-game phone a little makeover. Menus are smoother and just feel better to use. Not a huge change, but a nice quality-of-life improvement!

🗺️ Map Tweaks & Performance Touch-Ups
We’ve made some behind-the-scenes changes to static objects on the map for better performance. Just making things run nicer overall!



🎨 Visual Polish & Random Fun Stuff
✅Added more graffiti and changed up some meshes like newspapers and small props.
✅Improved a ton of object textures. Everything looks just a bit nicer now.
✅Even the trash bag tool got an upgrade with a more detailed model. Because hey, even garbage deserves to look good, right?

🧪 Wanna Help Us Test Soon?
We’re still deep in development - tuning systems, cleaning things up, and working on the overall feel of the game. Once everything’s a bit more stable, we’re planning to open up playtesting.

If you’re interested in helping out, hop into our Discord and keep an eye out for test announcements!



Thanks as always for sticking with us! Every update gets us one step closer to making Holiday Motel Simulator the weird, chill, offbeat vacation game we’ve always imagined. 🏝️
