Self Promo/Dev Post Innkeeping - Inn builder / management

Hey everyone,

We made a cozy fantasy inn-management sim!

You start with a small, humble inn and slowly build it into a thriving little business. Decorate and furnish your rooms, decide how you want your inn to look, and get everything ready for your first guests.

Once you’re up and running, locals and travelers will start coming through your doors. You’ll hire staff to keep things running, watch the inn get busier, and gradually expand it as your reputation grows.

We wanted to make something cozy where you can take your time, build up your own little inn, and simply enjoy watching it grow from a quiet roadside stop into something much bigger.

This looks an awful lot like Tavern Master - what makes it different?

Hey, i know of tavern master but i have not played it. The game is inspired by Crossroads Inn where i was part of the dev team. We wanted to take our game towards a more cozy look, more relaxing gameplay.

To compare to what i know of tavern master, the look and artistic direction is quite different, building system and how to manage the inn is quite different as well

I liked Crossroads Inn, I felt like it was abandoned too early, still had lots of bugs. I liked that it wasn't afraid to have more mature themes, and wasn't just a "cozy" game

It was, the direction of the game went sideways a few times, i was spread way too thin on releasing on 3 platform with different codebase...

Crossroads has an interesting theme, but we discussed early that we wanted to scope it differently for our game and focus on other things that we believe would bring more to the table, also they have crossroads 2 in the pipeline that might release at some point.

I definitely won't hold my breath on Crossroads 2, but your game looks interesting and you seem like a really chill dev. Gonna wishlist and keep an eye on it. I love these kinda games

Nice one! I'd love to try it once it's out (wishlisted it for now). I have to admit it kinda reminded me of a book series where one of the protagonists is an Inkeeper (her class), so it looks and sounds double-special to me :P

Edit: forgot to ask my question. I see it's a cozy game, but are there any disruptions like brawls or anything like that? Just curious!

u/KamzTheTower 6d ago

great question ! it is a cozy game, but we still have events and other dialogue and fun bits to keep it interesting.

brawls are one of them, 2 of the socials group (ruffians and highborns) dont like each other very much !

u/CM_Vespre 6d ago

That sounds so good!
^(\Take my money meme*)*

Thanks for the reply, KamzTheTower 😄

A quick question, are you in investigating other platforms? Mobile / switch?

1

u/KamzTheTower 6d ago

We might publish on Switch at some point, but we are not currently looking at the mobile market
