The Steam store page is up and running!

The Lost Art of Innkeeping will be released later this summer on Steam!

I also updated the trailer for Steam, thanks to feedback from members of the rpgmakerweb forums and after reading a bit more about trailers.*

I’m very glad that I released the game on Itch.io first – I’ve always been fond of the website and its community since I released my first game (The Rock and the Rose), and I really like how people can buy or download games without an account. In addition, it’s so much easier to create a game website and upload the game compared to Steam.

But I have to say that after I set up the Steam store page, I was like, my little baby is all grown up now! :)

Anyway, I'll probably update the game here on Itch.io when the game is released on Steam in a couple months' time. So far I've added a new villager and a mini-quest to help someone adopt a pet, and am correcting typos and little bugs as the reports come in. If you have any suggestions, let me know and I'll consider them for future updates!

*If you’re a game developer interested in the lessons I learnt while making the trailers:

• I tried to create more of a “hook” at the beginning of the new trailer to pique the audience's interest.
• I reduced the number of scenes that looked similar (especially menu screens) and replaced them with more varied and visually interesting ones.
• I changed the music and tried to match the scenes to the music.
• I superimposed text on the scenes themselves rather than on a plain background – this wasn’t always possible though since it was difficult to get the text to show up legibly depending on the scene.
