~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 21hI am working to improve some stuttering caused by the shader compilation. For that I added the (only) loading screen of the game. It's a retro-looking scene of Lopp wandering 051
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 07/10/2026this is happening to me almost once every week. Someone randomly DMing me pretending to be an artist, and then trying to sell me artwork or music generated with AI for ridiculous prices. It's getting very annoying 030

~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What? An ocean inside the hotel! This is floor 4 and it has an indoor sea that you can navigate with a surfboard. In the combat rooms of this section I added a new wave mechanic that pushes you and the enemies every turn, so it will add a bit more depth to the battle. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart 0186

Reposted by ~ Hotel Paraíso ~Brunovania: PS2's Curse 🦇 @brunofortheps2.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yesterday, I was reminded why I miss something as simple as unlockables in games. I was playing Cruis'n Blast, and after finally collecting the last handful of secret keys, the game was like "good job! Here, have a tank!" It was a cool moment. Made my experience with the game feel special, idk. 1151
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you explore the hotel carefully... you'll find a special type of dungeons. These are Spectral Castles, a set of consecutive battles with randomly generated specters. You'll need to use your best gear to beat them! #indiegames #pixelart #rpg #godot #gamedev 0196

~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The Playtest build is close to being ready. The last feature I wanted to have is achievements and cloud saves, which I am adding this week.

~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I have also added a story log, where you can read past conversations from the main story. This was requested by some players after trying the demo. 030
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Small but significant update. I have completed the painting collectibles list and unlockables! As you explore the hotel, you'll find 100 real paintings from artists that belong to the public domain, and when you show them to an artist NPC, you can get rewards. #indiegames #art #godot #gamedev 1245
Reposted by ~ Hotel Paraíso ~Transparency @transparency.bsky.social · 12/09/2026You know, I often say that playing old video games is like learning a language. The more you play them the better you become at understanding their vocabulary, the structure, etc. You can become fluent in classic video games, but I think a lot of people simply have lost it, or never learned how to. 725855

~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Wishlist numbers might seem meaningless alone, so let me share now... how many wishlist does the game have currently? It reached 400 wishlists recently. My goal would be to hit 1.000 before launch (around 5 months from now) 020
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Reddit: -15€ -1500 views - +13 wishlists The best. I targeted specific subreddits like Undertale, Paper Mario or Into the breach. Less ads shown but highly accurate to the audience of the game. Other platforms don't allow this customization of the campaign. 130
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Tiktok: - 10€ - 6.000 views - 800 Likes - +12 followers - + 2 wishlist Still not good. Very small page visits, but higher engagement than others (more comments, likes and people interacting with me directly). 120
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Instagram: - 30€ - 11.000 views - 229 Likes - +9 followers - +1 wishlist Not good. The ad shows "1200 page visits", but almost nobody was Steam user according to Steam stats. Probably bots, I was told by other indie developers. 120
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026YouTube: - 20€ - 0 Likes - 2800 views - +1 follower - 0 wishlists Terrible results. I realized the vast majority of ads were shown in TV devices, probably because I made a mistake configuring the campaign as "get video views". 120
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Now for the trailer promotion. I spent between 10 and 30€ in YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok and Reddit. There were different targets in every platform, but the creative was the same: the trailer, with the hook of the hotel being inspired by my childhood (I shared that story here before) 120
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Before sharing the numbers, small disclaimer: it might seem like marketing an indie game is weird. However, it is usually the only way to realistically reach players. Having your game on Steam won't make it known, and using social media organically (like bluesky) is very hard and time consming. 121
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Last week I shared a new "overview trailer" of Hotel Paraíso. Shortly later I asked myself: how would it perform as an ad? So I spent a bit of money in different social networks to promote it. Here are the results, from worst to best. #indiegames #gamedev #marketing 1183
~ Hotel Paraíso ~ @azulondev.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Can someone explain to me what's the point here 171
