One of the reasons I have been commenting on this game more frequently than I would comment on other games is because Faerin is a developer who engages with this community. That makes me at ease making recommendations which i feel can make a game that i like and enjoy even more enjoyable.
I have been to many hotels, small and large, resort style, and ma and pa B&Bs. The most successful of hotel managers I have encountered are those who are able and willing to step in, at a moment notice, to fill in for one of the employees or to lend a hand when things get tough. I think the MC, should be able to fill in when needed at the front desk, occasionally at the restaurant, perhaps the bar, or in cleaning when things get tough. In future versions, I hope this becomes available as the MC can learn new skills in the teacher's room as one of the activities.
At least the front desk and cleaning would make sense. Waiting and bartending probably would need some training. Gameplay wise being able to be in the reception would also be a major help - mom is spending too much time there and especially in the beginning in the kitchen, that it gets hard to level her cleaning. Restaurant I wouldn't use as a player (unless needed), since it is asked for seldomly and two girls want to level there.
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
I've got a ton of ton ideas on my "todo" list (that may or may not make it into the game).
The MC working in the hotel is one of them.
As well as more interaction between the MC and the guests.
Having him offering an expensive bottle of champagne to a guest to remove a "strike", for instance.
I haven't implemented traits and tarot cards yet either (item effects will be implemented in this month's update).
Or any of the locations and events (that can grant several items, bonusses, etc.).
I don't want to add too many things right now, as I want to wait until all staff members, guests and rooms are implemented.
It will make it a bit easier to balance things that way.
But in the mean time, feel free to share your ideas. I can't guarantee they will make it into the game, but I will consider every one of them.
Thanks!
