Indie Solo Dev currently working on the game "The Lost Hotel"
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.

Finished the lab today. It contains vivariums and research stations where new plants can be researched.

Next on the list is Megan. Like Kal, she also works for the Terra Nova Corporation and was deployed on a mission to Mars. #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame

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 😅

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

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

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