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

It's time for the first dishes to be served in the hotel restaurant. The dishes have different values that can affect the guests. #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #gamedesign #cozygaming

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

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
