All the post-initial-release fires has been put out and we can proceed to developing new features. We're not firmly set on any direction - the current idea is something like this:
There are several kinds of facilities:
* some enhance the general standard of the hotel (and let you build higher standard rooms) - for example you need a swimming pool to build 4-star rooms.
* some provide services for your guests. For example X% of your guests would go to a restaurant.
* some would provide extra bonuses. Example: hotel-wide wi-fi adds 5% to the price of the room.
On top of that we're thinking of introducing different kinds of guests (businessman, families, health and fitness freaks, "rest quietly people", etc.). A type of the guest would be allotted based on several factors - location "Krakow attracts stag parties", your existing infrastructure ("you have a swimming pool and a spa - health enthusiasts tend to come more often"), your competition (other hotels in the city have a strong fitness infrastructure - you don't get fewer visitors of that kind), the class of the hotel (businessman prefer to overpay :) ) and so on.
Here are the types of rooms I'm thinking to add:
* casino - only premium visitors - usually they leave you a lot of cash, but sometimes they win...
* gift shop - every guest has some chance of coming here and buying worthless crap.
* restaurant - every guest has some chance of coming here and staying for X (2?) hours (and taking the space). You could build restaurants of varying sizes to accommodate more guests.
* sauna - allows you to build level 3 rooms?
* swimming pool - hmmm... allows you to build level 4 rooms?
* pub - similar to the restaurant, only serving a different kind of visitors.
* snooker pub - just as above.
* video games - ...
* library/reading room - good for people who came to rest.
* fitness club, spa.
What are your ideas? What would you like to be able to build? How would it work? I'm waiting to hear what you think!
You can think of adding more statistics, which show how good your hotel prospers (as the list of top ten, seen on the main page). Something similar to “highest income hotel”, e.g. the amount of money that has been collected over time (calculated by taking the sum of daily income or balance of revenue and expenses). Then everyone could see how much you have earned to date.
i want to suggest the shoplots down the hotel there,maybe its more interesting if the owner can choose what type of goodies the might want to sell,or services like taxi.
bcos,every ppl have their own like.if they want to build a casino,why not?
awesome ideas! but i was thinking. we should be able to deleat hotels. know we all have hotels that we want to deleat, and some of them taking up the room that we need for our other hotels. so it would be really great if there is a function that lets us deleat hotels.
