Hello fellow Magnates! Get ready for something new and exciting! Every two weeks, we're dropping by to give you a friendly update on what's going on behind the scenes at Hotel Magnate. Think of it as our way of having a casual chat over a cup of virtual coffee. We'll spill the beans on our progress, the bugs we're squashing, and the cool plans in the pipeline. Kicking off at Update #38, this series picks up where our pre-Early Access reports left off quite a while ago. These posts might be short and sweet or a bit more detailed, but the aim is the same to keep you in the loop about the state of Hotel Magnate. Release/Update posts will go into more detail about what is included in the update. Thanks a bunch for being a part of this journey with us!

Report #38

Elevators:

Following all the voting and support on the voting platform we have been working on Elevators! We have added a fairly simple implementation of elevators that allows for elevators to be placed off-center to the ones above or below, which should help allow for more complex builds and for any issues where the player places the elevators incorrectly. We are currently doing internal testing and tweaking and hope to enter public testing (alongside new guest types) very soon.

Spa and Gym Guests:

We have also been working on Spa and Gym guests and Facilities. Spa guests is nearly ready for public testing and should be published alongside Elevators in our next update. Gym guests is quite far along as well and will be introduced in the update following Spa Guests/Elevators. Spa guests will bring new furniture like a sauna, sensory deprivation tank, nail salon and more! Below is a teaser screenshot of some of these furniture objects.

Guest Groups:

Following strong demand from our voters and fans, we decided to increase the priority of and start work on adding in Guest Groups, which is essentially allowing multiple guests to use the same bedroom and arrive as a group. At this point in time, we are adding two types of groups, groups of friends and couples. This should bring a lot more life and challenge to your hotels. We aim to have this feature added alongside Gym Guests. We will talk more about this feature soon! Don't forget to join us on our Discord where you can chat with other fans and the devs or participate in testing for some of these things we have been working on!
