We had a blast of a week at Gamescom, we met so many lovely people eager to get their hands on Hotel Architect and create their very own hotel empire! We're excited to share how Hotel Architect was received at the event but also give you a sneak peek if you couldn’t get there. We brought a playable demo to the Wired Productions booth, and it was great to see so many of you drop by to give it a try in the Home Of Indies area!

People really dove into customizing their hotels, tweaking layouts, and experimenting with different decor styles. It was clear that you all enjoyed having the freedom to create spaces that felt unique while watching the hotel come to life with guests and staff!

Seeing those "aha" moments when someone realized they could solve a guest’s problem or maximize profits with a clever design tweak was super rewarding for us. We did take on lots of feedback and are prepping to implement some of it to make early access even smoother on launch; For example, we now know you want more shortcuts for quicker gameplay and more chaos!  [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40373120/aa6c9825e97badd937334866d321abdfa68ebbb7.jpg[/img] [h2]The Buzz and What’s Next[/h2] It was also fun to see the game pop up on social media as you shared your experiences with others. The feedback we got—both the praise and the constructive criticism—was incredibly valuable. We’re taking all of it back to the drawing board as we keep refining the game.  Big thanks to everyone who stopped by, played the demo, and shared your thoughts. We’re excited to keep working on Hotel Architect and can’t wait to see the hotels you build when it’s ready for early access release!
