I've put work on the spa on hold for now to take care of the storage and supply rooms 🧦
The cleaning robot will take over room service and clean the corridors.

My private life and work are taking over at the moment, so it suits me perfectly to work on something relaxing: the hotel spa.

It's time for the first dishes to be served in the hotel restaurant.
The dishes have different values that can affect the guests.

I've finished the kitchen. What do you think? Chef Rico is already there, desperately waiting for his kitchen bots.

This is X4L (but Kal for you), a cyborg, Callistan (from the ice moon Callisto) and an employee of the Terra Nova Corporation. #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #gamedesign #cozygaming #rpg #cozygame

This gallant gentleman in a 90s jogging suit is called Hondo. He likes mooncakes and his hobbies include swimming a few laps in the pool in the morning& playing space chess. #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #cozygaming #rpg #cozygame

By the way, here are all the hotelier keys that need to be collected. I completed them a long time ago when my game was still in the concept phase 😅

#losthotelgame #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame

And here are all the reagents you need for the recipes. #losthotelgame #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #gamedesign #cozygaming #rpg #cozygame

I've been trying to be productive over the last few days despite the summer heat and pixelated the items for farming.

Before and after: an unlocking tour through the garden area in the hotel spaceship 😎 #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot #godotengine #gamedesign #workinprogress #cozygaming #rpg #cozygame

Alright let's plant some palm trees!!! The growing time will be much slower in the final game 😂 #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot

I made water!!!! That was a hell of a lot of work. I'm so glad there are people who know exactly how shaders work and provide them for free! ❤️ #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame

The garden area is also finally finished 🥹 I added a few particle effects, as you can see here in the video: Leaves and fireflies 🍃🍂🥰 #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame

There are leafmilk trees in the hydroponics, and planters for growing a few simple things. A little garden shed as well 😍 Only the garden bot, well, try to fix it, okay? #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot

Hey, why don't you repair the garden shed? And the planters? And tidy everything up a bit?

Here's another close-up of the greenhouse. Everything is broken, overgrown... Not nice 😄.

I'm basically done pixelling all the components of the greenhouse area in the hotel, then we can start fixing and cleaning up because.... look at this mess!!! Can't leave it like this! #losthotelgame #thelosthotel #pixelart #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev
