Hotel Galactic, the cozy management sim from developer and publisher Ancient Forge, closed its Kickstarter campaign on Monday, July 30, 2024 after securing 137% of the initial $129,000 goal. The successful campaign opens the door to a plethora of benefits for the more than 3,000 backers eager to check in amongst the stars.
Thanks to crowdfunding support, Hotel Galactic will expand with multiple key features. The achieved stretch goals include the introduction of the VIP Greta, an intergalactic nomad and goose archaeologist. Greta adds a brand new storyline centered around a mysterious artifact sought out by the Guardian organization. Ancient Forge has also confirmed Steam Deck compatibility, as well as future add-ons and custom skins.
Hotel Galactic will see continued support through endgame content, including new cyclical challenges for players, fresh missions, items and more. Thanks to the integration of a post system, characters can send and receive letters, including from VIP hotel guests, to further build a thriving cozy game community within this single-player whimsical adventure.
While the Kickstarter campaign has concluded, Ancient Forge continues its efforts to support the game as it seeks for a new publishing partnership. With the right partnership in place, the team aims to bring additional resources and expertise to help Hotel Galactic achieve greater heights. Ancient Forge remains committed to finding a publisher who shares its passion and vision, and one who understands the intricacies of the Asian gaming market.
“We couldn’t be more happy with the response and backing we got from the Kickstarter community and not even 2 months since our official announcement,” said Dushan Chaciej, CEO and Creative Director of Ancient Forge. “This is just the beginning of an amazing and enchanting journey of Hotel Galactic. We’re grateful to have you all alongside for the ride!”
Hotel Galactic will host intergalactic guests on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
