[b]Hey there, travelers![/b] We at Ancient Forge are beyond excited to finally reveal Hotel Galactic, a project we've been passionately working on for a long time. This isn't just any project for us - [b]it's the one we're taking the leap to self-publish[/b], and we can't wait to share more gameplay details with you. [previewyoutube=z5PjZNMq6Do;full][/previewyoutube] Hotel Galactic invites you to transform a rundown intergalactic hotel into a thriving tourist destination. Inspired by the [b]enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli[/b], this game blends wholesome nostalgia with modern fairy tale magic, creating a unique and heartwarming experience. Build and customize every aspect of your hotel, optimize its layout for the best flow, and keep both guests and staff happy and efficient.

Capturing the essence of Miyazaki's animation in a video game that appeals to a broad audience required [b]two years of dedicated pre-production.[/b] Throughout this process, we have gained invaluable insights into [b]balancing technical challenges with a unified creative vision[/b], and we are incredibly proud of the result.

The technical demands were substantial, but the end result is a dynamic, immersive experience that I’m proud to share.[/i]” “[i]Hotel Galactic is the project that utilizes everything we’ve learned in the last ten years or so,[/i]” said [b]Dushan Chaciej,[/b] CEO and Creative Director at Ancient Forge. “[i]We aimed to create a wholesome and engaging experience for players that love to watch their simulated little dudes end up in all kinds of weird situations. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the world thinks of what we’ve been working on for the past three years.[/i]” [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/528325741/hotel-galactic-studio-ghibli-inspired-25d-inn-management?utm_source=reveal&utm_medium=steam&utm_campaign=news][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053719/de061e8aaa98090418e3c8e6a4a2db9620139858.png[/img][/url] We're also thrilled to announce that we'll be launching a [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/528325741/hotel-galactic-studio-ghibli-inspired-25d-inn-management?utm_source=reveal&utm_medium=steam&utm_campaign=news][b]Kickstarter campaign in July[/b][/url] to give our community a chance to be part of the Alpha-test group, as well as to win a few exclusive addons.
