What's next?

i voted for hotle to be at level 3 befor new staff is put into game as there is no point of paying for a staff member when there is nothing for her to do and julia level 3 just to get her to same level as amber and hope fully the update after this will be for the level 2 for both kay and riley

You need to assign her to restaurant and check on her in the morning or afternoon. If you have any further questions, please post in the gameplay-help channel on Discord: https://discord.gg/BTTBwDq

I am stuck. I have all the requirements for amber on level three. However I cannot get anywhere with her progress. What am I missing?

Faerin, thanks for the quick response! I'm looking forward to the traits - however you implement them. This is going to be so much more than a 'standard' hotel game :)

Pax

Need to spank the bad girls for not doing their jobs right

richard MacDonald

Hey Pax, traits will be implemented later on (what you see now are mostly placeholders). You aren't very far off, but that's all I will say for now. I think it will be a cool aspect of the game that adds more depth to it.

Faerin

Now why would you think that? After Richard and Libby have been so supportive.... ;)

Faerin

I noticed that Riley does not have any traits yet. Is there a plan for a girl to unlock certain traits when they hit level 3 and level 5, for example? What about the MC, as he get's to know the girls, learns about fears or desires. An optional use for destiny points would be to spend them to take away a fear (negative trait) or to add a positive trait (loyal, empathic, and - if this ties into Mystwood - old soul, ancient knowledge (can read the inscription at the well in the woods, for example), reincarnated... I'm thinking that destiny points can be worth much more in creating variation in playthrough that enriches the story without requiring major new branches of choices due to one trait pick. The use of destiny points in this way - to help others, could also be tied into getting tarot cards - spend destiny points to get one tarot card, one 'gift' from Isabella to help one girl (add a + trait or remove a negative trait), limited by the girls level, a level 1 girl is limited to a level 1 trait change, where a level 3 girl is limited to a level 3 trait change (tying the girl's level at the hotel with her level of association with Mystwood. I'm thinking higher level girls have a deeper association with Mystwood and are better able to be influenced by a 'gift' from Isabella. This is just a thought on a way to make destiny points create a richer, more RP experience for each of us. I don't know if this resonates with Faerin but thought I'd throw it out there. Sorry about this if is TLDR for some.

Pax

Perhaps hitting hotel level 5 means that Richard and Libby start to try to interfere with MC's hotel and staff since they are now real competition. Libby strikes me as someone... or something... who will become a bigger part of the second half of the game. Will they start to send in 'guests' to cause problems at the hotel? I like knowing that there is much more past hotel level 5!

Pax

Unfortunately that wouldn't be really efficient. As increasing the quality would mean replacing all renders and using a different file format/compresion. Making two versions would increase the workload by a lot.

Faerin

I think it would be cool to have a version with increased quality for those who want it and don't mind the large file size. Maybe have it at a higher patron level or something.

Cody

I think my biggest frustration/tease is getting girls to like "most of the way" to new outfit unlocks. Getting Kay and Riley to basically set up for level 2, but no level 2 outfits (or Julia with level 3)... is just so painful in my soul because I want to see them in the next tier of outfits and everything. XD I don't even need the next tier of events there... just the satisfaction both gaming wise and boner-y wise of seeing skimpier outfits and work/rest stills. :D

Yes, this will be added (as part of the story as it unfolds). But it will probably be a bit later in the development.

Faerin

I did not see, more places to explore on the list. I would have voted for that. Making the town bigger must be in the works. I would love that.

Chill-E

Hi William, no it's not. It will be released on Steam when it's (close to) finished.

Faerin

Hey Ryan, they are complete, but the "under development" is added to prevent claiming the reward (as that needs to be implemented as well).

Faerin

quick question is your game on steam? just wondering if i can set it like some other patreon games where steam keeps it up to date when you release updates.

William Farnham

One thing I would suggest, don’t add the tiers for staff until they’re complete. It’s a little disappointing when you can only do 3/4 of the tier and then have to wait for an update to complete.

Oh wow, hearing that the story arc doesn't run to conclusion in parallel with the hotel getting to level 5, and that will even be the point where it really gets underway has got me really excited to see what is next. Hopefully you'll get time to do more than one girl's events and please everyone ;-)

WelshVRFan

Thanks. Yes, there is definitely plenty to develop. Isabella's storyline (and the tarot cards) are tied in with the game story, of which we haven't seen that much yet either. The story is pretty detailed and involves a lot of other aspects that are yet to be added. The game isn't finished at hotel level 5, in fact you could argue that it is only starting when you get there. So getting all the girls and guests to that level in is definitely a big milestone in the development as well.

Faerin

I'd like a balance of new content between additional events with the girls but it's so hard to decide on which. Although I'm keen to see more progress with Julia to the same levels as Amber at tier three I don't want Riley and Kay to lag too far behind. After that epic tease in the current release of Kay - who looks totally hot wandering around in nightwear and without her safety glasses - I voted for her and progressing the hotel to level 3, which I suspect would need to go hand in hand with a new girl who has the skills to allocate to the new rooms. I don't know if the next visit to Isabella and the impact of destiny was always going to be at hotel level 3 or retro fitted to earlier in the story once you'd developed it, but that's another reason for voting for hotel level 3. I'm keen to see how that plays out... as well as the storylines that, for now, we have only seen the earliest roots.

WelshVRFan

Happy birthday in advance then :D

Faerin

Hooray two days after my birthday :D

Victor Kilo

It would be fantastic if the next update is released on 28.08. So I could play it on the day of the update, if it comes later, I will not be able to play MM until 2.09 I am always busy with Room for Rent at the end and beginning of every month.

lukumo

Hey, lukumo. I agree that the game could be played without hints, but I also try to make as much as I can optional to create a game that is enjoyable for as many players as I can. The items and some of the events will be added in the next update (the tarot cards will probably be added 1-2 updates later). Thanks for your feedback!

Faerin

I personally think that the game is very easy to play without cheats, so no additional hints. I can't understand why you need cheats in this game??? I think it would be better before we get Hotel Level 3, to activate other existing content first: 1. the items we found finally have a use. 2. the destiny points are finally collected (even if they are not used yet) 3. bring all girls to level 3 first (with reward clothes) 4. the existing Card of Fate is used 5. being able to buy something at Fizwill.

lukumo

As always - thanks for asking us what we would like to see next!
