An Echo/Minotaur Hotel crossover: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28017621
What's this? Looks like someone has prepared a holiday surprise for you! Too bad you can't open until Christmas...
Art by our beloved artist Nanoff, commissioned by yours truly.
Right?! RIGHT?! I was gonna ask to have him with a more embarrassed look, but when Nanoff showed the sketch with this face I M-E-L-T-E-D.
Here's the full picture. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone!
Even if you're on fucking lockdown, try to make the most of it anyway and have an enjoyable evening.
Just realized this hasn't been posted anywhere, so uhhh... have a 1 month late chocolate-flavored Christmas Asterion.
I wrote a explicit MinoHotel fanfic! A holiday special based off my comm from Nanoff. https://archiveofourown.org/works/28290492
Also have this meme from a recent convo I had.
Very wholesome, romantic and spicy in all the right ways. Really good stuff, and thank you!
It was such a good read. Nice work with the story, I was hooked from the get go. Seeing the bull so happy...glorious
Pretty late replying it was a great story the characters felt accurate and the scene with Little Star had me squealing like a girl the picture playing a big part in that. Also,, is this story in friggin' 2nd person! To think the first story I'd read in that perspective is something like this, what a world, a glorious world.
Yup, it's another fanfic; shorter, this time. I'm experimenting with a few things, but I hope you'll like it anyway.

This one features this art by Nojulo. They are kinda new, so make sure to check them out as well.
Shitpost aside, I think obsessing over the ranking like this is a bad idea...
The purpose of the ranking was that we wanted to know what the average affection value for all players is around the end of each build, so we can plan the content for the next build better (if the average value is 6, with the max being 8, then we know that 7 is a good threshold to give a reward for players that are being extra nice to asterion without excluding people that didn't minmax to get the best outcome).
We were going to have the game print out a number that you put into the poll, but we figured the ranking was more fun.
However, seeing how people obsess over it and want guides to get the best possible ranking and feel like they fucked up if they didn't get the maximum, even if they still got a really good score, gives me conflicting feelings. The idea I had for MinoH is that there is no best route, no optimal way of doing things (eg. even if you trick Argos at the end of 0.3, which is arguably the best solution to that puzzle, you still have Asterion become unavailable for R&D as a trade-off, and tricking Argos will impact an important choice in 0.5). If there's an objectively best outcome, then players are going to stop making the choices that feel right to them, and instead going with whatever gets them the best result. I feel like the ranking ends up doing this, so I considered taking it away, or at least not making such a spectacle out of it at the end of a build.
But... people really like the feature, and I don't want to punish people for being invested in the story (which conflicting feelings aside really warms my heart), so I feel like taking it away is not the solution. Maybe, we should introduce a trade-off to not make maxing the ranking the optimal, objectively best way to play the game.
So, in 0.5 getting the maximum ranking will require spending in-game days with Asterion that could be otherwise spent on other side quests. This way, going for that maximum rank means you're avoiding optional content such as getting extra guests and improving your staff's stats and getting R&D and exploration rewards.
I hope this takes pressure away from getting the max ranking and instead makes it an incentive for going in blind, making the decisions you think are meaningful, and makes getting the maximum rating a fun goal for a subsequent playthrough.
I know this is in response to a shitpost but it did make me get a big thonk, so thank you guys for posting.
POV: You are having one of those weird dreams where Asterion just won't put a shirt on and is teasing you constantly.
(Posting like this in case the digital version doesn't pan out lol)
recently commissioned a friend to paint the scene from Hades described early on in the game. I think he captured it perfectly :) 
Original can be found here--> https://twitter.com/Joofaloof/status/1423084495192825861?s=19
I created a new thread for memes just now. The forum is getting so lively that I'd say it justifies it, plus I like seeing the funny things people come up with.
Handsome and expressive. Thank you very much for this piece! If you post it on Twitter please do tell us so we can share and retweet it for others!
thanks! no promises, but hopefully i will continue this into a finished piece.
yeah i did post it on twitter. here's the link.
https://twitter.com/nekku_guy/status/1434853748161933316
goodness this vn is heartful! i'm touched by the chemistry the mc and asty developed!
hopefully it won't be long till build 0.6! (but of course i'm not pressuring the team. take as much time as needed~)
This scene near the end of the 0.5 version impressed me greatly, so I wanted to recreate it - what a better place to do it in then a game like Planet Zoo, which has some great world-building tools! Also, with the help of Paint.NET for some additional lighting, and creating the fire by manipulating the... lack of fire available in the game...
Yep! Just a simple couple of flips, after producing the image. I used the flipped version of the original to design it in-game, and then flipped it back!
Haaaa so I made some fan art of one of my favorite characters. I'm not the best at drawing but this piece felt right to me. A thanks again for the awesome game
lol yeah I see it, but thanks for the compliment. Next piece hopefully would top this one 100 more
ok one more one more. This is king moo with his rightful crown of stars. Something I thought of from all the stuff late game
Storm: I don't get it, how is this going to help us find the hotel?
P: Elementary, my dear Storm. Ants have to travel for food, hotels have food.
If we follow their trails, we will surely find where the food from the hotel is.
Storm: Where did you get that hat?
P: You said those clothes made you feel like out of a movie. So i "borrowed" it from the tailor to feel what it's like.
Storm: This is boring, the only thing this anthill is good for is peeing on it. All kids are doing it.
P: Hmm.
...
Storm: I'm doing it.
Thank you. I had trouble including Storm in the shot. I wanted to make him bigger but, kinda ran out of space
Thank you this is my first Poem I kind of wrote it on a whim I was inspired one day and just wrote. I let the muses guide me :)
I wanted to thank you again. You gave me some inspiration to do one myself. Here is what i thought of. Hope you like it
Poem from Asterion
You lavish me with gifts fit for a god
Viewing me nothing more then perfect, Never Flawed
Yet I am a fool dressed in garnished Gold
If you are willing to listen to my words, yet I be so bold
If we are one, both princes equal of power. Let me prove my right
Test not my past, but the present
And call me the Emperor of Pyrite
I'm planning to write another Poem for Luke and a Haiku for Kota : ). I'm finding it surprisingly fun because writing it from the protagonist's viewpoint is challenging and fun. Any input form you guys would be appreciated for ideas for other poems.
Finally finished my first actual fanart of the game.. Argos has not left my mind ever since That scene. Thank you devs for this wonderful story!!
here's the twitter link btw
my heart skips a beat! This is so good! But the link won't send me to your page. What's your username?
Edit- nvm found it ❤
Jesus christ, amazing work!
It makes me really happy that a character like Argos, who isn't exactly a popular species furries are usually drawn to, gets fanart like this. Thank you so much.
No thank you so much!! I guess it's just because I like scalies a lot, but I absolutely loved his design from the first moment he appeared. Both that and all of his expressions are so lively. And that's without counting how much I like him as a character too.
I wasn't planning on writing Storm/Oscars poem so soon but I got stuck on Luke's Poem LOL.
Back of the sheet of paper the poem is written on is mostly full of marked out words and a few doodles a few phrases can be made out.
I am an asshole a dick and a cunt,
how can you look up to me runt.
Why the fuck am I trying to rhyme something with cunt you know what fuck it I'm committed now.
Why is this so hard (Scribbled out) said it could help with (illegible) but now I'm just fucking frustrated trying to rhyme something with cunt.
I can't decide if I'm going to burn it or give it to the kid. Fuck it I'll just keep it hidden for now. I swear to God if anyone finds this I'll (Scribbled over)
Why is writing this stupid poem making me cry I hate it why do I have to feel things why do I Have To Remember. ( Some words were smudged because they got wet).

AO3 link for anyone who prefers that over fanfiction.net
I mean, one of the dev team also wrote the very NSFW Orc Breeding stories, this may not be out of the question... :thinking_hermes:
Mind, I'd be a little surprised since it seems like the devs have toned down the horny from the original idea of the story, but who knows.
Not breeding but if you wanna see Nemo tackle a Minotaur

I commissioned this phenomenal art of one of the game's DILFs (Dutiful, Intelligent & Lovely Friends), because Themba is a lovely giant man whomst I want to smooch.
The art is by the wonderful ArtisticWFLynx on Twitter, which you can also find here in higher resolution and for retweeting purposes!
ʸᵉˢ ʷᵉ ʷᵃⁿᵗᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵃᵏᵉ ʰᶦᵐ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ʰᵃᶦʳʸ
Yet another thing I don't know whether I'll ever finish. Considering doping myself with unholy amounts of caffeine next time I have to draw P's tail
POV: you interrupt Themba's home office hours and he's pondering whether to call HR or tell you to close the door behind you.
i do have a question, what determines the pattern of themba? i got both versions to appear but other than possibly depending on background i still have no clue
well then, i will start a new topic on that. since i have yet to see anyone talk about this
We all love soft, shy bottom Asterion but bratty, cocky powerbottom Asterion is underrated
You made me realize I didn't put a description in my uploads lol.
"Obligations call the Master out of the Hotel for a while, but the heart of his lover might be too anxious handle the distance."
Sorry I don't think I have enough content in mind for a continuation. Although I have some ideas:
- Asterion and the MC facetime everyday for a handful of days, after that they intentionally stop doing so to make Asterion more comfortable with the idea of distance
- The MC comes back to the Hotel safe and sound and with various gifts from his country for the staff
- The MC buys an authentic Cretan Lyra for Asterion and they vow to learn how to play it together
record 1 hour Argos quickie!! Ruthless has just been constantly in my mind and I had to get it out of my system...
I finished the latest build earlier this week, and I wanted to draw something to say thank you to the devs for all their work on an amazing game!
I know stargazing is more of Luke's thing but I liked the little star imagery for Asterion as well
OMG, thanks for this. Just finished my second playthrough and some of the scenes left me with butterflies in my stomach even when reading for the second time. And some lines made it impossible for me not to try and picture the little Little Star. <3
I had to attempt to draw him with his beloved fruit/honey since I couldn't bake him some sweets in the game.
Well no wonder the people of Crete sought him out. Looking at him is a blessing in itself
I finished the build (also re-read it) and wanted to thank the devs by drawing a fanart. I really loved the game. So much work has been put into it, and it really shows!
Edit: Forgot to put the Twitter link
This is based on a Clemens Bewer's painting, "Muse with a Lyre" (1867) btw. So, sadly, Asterion doesn't have his lyre. I also had to compress the image since it had a huge resolution
Absolutely gorgeous. I think "redoings of classical art with Minotaur Hotel characters" has become one of my favorite things in the world, thank you so much.
I'm glad you liked it! And yeah, there's also another one called "Sappho playing the lyre" by Léopold Burthe which also fits really good (even better), so I'll probably do that one eventually
So I've been teaching myself Blender over the weekend, and one thing led to another
Edit: Hopefully compression didn't totally annihilate it this time. I'm done editing. I swear.
I only made enough front-facing details for the sake of the pic, but heck, I might try to model the whole thing a little more accurately later.
My goodness, this is really striking and woah awe inspiring, really gives context to some scenes
Now presenting, Pedro the Christmas tree, but without lights as to not blind the poor guy (totally not an excuse to my inability to figure out how to draw them)
After the meme I did on twitter, I thought about Storm dancing to smile.dk. So I drew him playing some DDR.
The fact that this song was known first by most people (At least in Latin America) due to it being a default ringtone on a shitty generic Chinese toy cellphone still makes me laugh very hard till this day.
There is actually a separate thread for memes https://itch.io/t/1610276/memes-reaction-images-cropped-pictures-shitposting-sil...
Happy Valentine's Day, gaylords
Managed to get a small thingy done while finishing 0.6.0
i will take a wild guess and say it's written "Be my valentine? [ ]No [ ] Yes Asterion"
I really don’t draw, but felt inspired by all the other posts here to try my best at sketching out Asterion. I don’t think I did that bad!
even if it's full of mistakes
it'll all turn out in the end, I guess
Finally finished the thing that I started 176 days ago. Enjoy!
also check out the song+illustration that inspired this, the cover that I like more and the Twitter upload of this with slightly better resolution
Recently got acquainted with the game so I decide to draw a little something as thanks for the lovely novel. Loving it's story and characters so far. Keep up the good work and cherish our moo~
It's just my opinion but I think the scenes in Hinterlands are very cinematic.
Maybe it's because of the different narrative.
yeah, the tone of the narrator changes in the hinterlands, rather than the one in the hotel, it really gives the more perosnality feel
I haven't been able to think about anything else since he came into my life. It's that damned smile.
Minoanon showed me and I went bonkers for 5 minutes hahaha
it's amazing. the two husbands <3
Glad you dig it! I've been enjoying your stuff as well!
Storm is still my favorite character, but with the update Kenbish quickly rose to second place. So hey, 2+2...
> If only I had been in Paris...
You, a man of culture, truly understand Asterion as a person... Admirable in all ways imaginable.
I just finished my first playthrough and i couldn't help but make some sketches of my favorite bull 0///0
(I love his expressions so much urghhh)
Boomer's Big Date (the main comic) is done, if you mean the sequel BMZ strips, they're currently on hiatus while I post the comic Outclassed (I'll probably put it up on itch when it's finished, just 5-6 more pages to go). Once I'm done with Outclassed I'll go back to weekly strips with Boomer, Miles and Zoomer.
- "His touch - oh, Muses - what ideas it gives!"
Did a full render this time, i just can't get over him. I just adore how his relationship with the MC is pure gold
I I want to start by saying that you guys are amazing. I really love what you have create. and for a long time now I've wanted to create somethign for you
is my firt time postin (anithing reali), and english is not my firt tonge. i've just starte to digitali draw, and it has been a longtime since I have draw at all.
hope you'll are doing amasing and have a greate day.
I adore this scene, so many emotions flood back whenever I return to read it, so do the tears. By the Twelve! I can't express how badly I want to jump into the story so I can just give Asterion a hug, but I guess this is the best I can do.
That's so cute, the power that cap 16 scenes have is surreal. Easily one of my favourites moments in the whole game
it's mentioned in the scene after the wrestling, it should be closer to his neck to the point of choking him but I want this to be wholesome.
Obrigado, estou vendo isso no ônibus e trouxe lágrimas aos meus olhos, essa imagem é maravilhosa, essa cena é incrível, vai ficar pra sempre no meu coração, eu amo Minotaur Hotel, amo Asterion
I wanted to show out Lukes artistic side. He is usually misunderstood, at the start he was going into a cello/violin concert, but he realized as he got to the truck stop that he hasn't practiced enough, so he went in there, and he found these two good guys who were helping him tune the instrument. He didn't eat enough that day, and good thing that the other guy had a Snekers bar. What a good guy. However, Luke is a messy eater, so he splattered chocolate on him, so needs to switch a shirt.
This is what should happen if you play the SFW version particularly if you're playing the Speedrunner.
I just decided to draw him having a good time on a pool day. He deserves some fun after all he went through
Gorgeous stud. Pecs look a little small, considering Asterion has quite the big pair of them. Still it looks awesome.
i feel drained!!! this took me so much to finish.
still learning some basic concepts, and i feel like finally can start to practice something else 
I've drawn Storm so much lately the filenames started having numbers added to them 8)
I like Storm a lot but this lad is also pretty rad. I don't know much about them but I'm very much looking forward to them showing up with the hoodie outfit.
Clothes swap? Clothes swap.
I think it would be nice to see more interactions between these two in the upcoming chapters. A double date could be a fun idea.
It's been a while since i've posted some Asterion sketches. This time I tried something more spicy, I hope you guys like it :)
I love it! nice big cock, cute face, tigh ass, fyre tail, nice abs, crow hornes, juts love it! Thank you
The Skinless God in all his remaining glory. October is the perfect month for him to get some art loving. Art by 13TitoAzazel.
I know I shouldn't, but.... I'm curious to know what his penis looks like now... he was even sexy in your drawing, congratulations!
Eu sei que eu não deveria, mas.... eu to curioso pra saber como é o pênis dele agora... ele ficou até sexy no seu desenho, parabéns!
A little tribute to the new update. I did think of recreating that Argos & Io painting a while ago but only until now have I found the inspiration to do so. Glad how this turned out tho!
I don't know if this has been posted before and I didn't notice, but,

Dear god...
I hope you enjoy them. I will be making minor adjustments (such as the adjustments I did today, darn eyebrows!), and in the future adding more stickers to it. The pack may be small now, but I intend on making one of every Asterion expression. Then maybe make some new ones.

We are leaning on using the same permissive moderation standard we use for everything in this forum. People here are very well behaved and thoughtful. As long as it follows the rules it should be good.
For now we'd also appreciate if people who do post AI content state that it's AI-generated in their post, as a matter of transparency.
A commission I got from 13TitoAzazel of P and Storm during a certain event at the Anthill.
I finished reading it just now. I was so engrossed in it that I read it in one sitting! It was a fascinating concept - to have the ability to foresee endless improbabilities that converge in a quantum-like fashion, and then to incorporate that with the mythical background of Minotaur Hotel. I'd love to see more of this story; I want to know what Asterion would do if he knew he could find a way out, and how to find that exit without resorting to Casey's extreme ideas.
Thank you! I'm happy with where I ended it, but maybe I'll revisit the story when Minotaur Hotel is finished. The questions of 'will Asterion escape and how?' feel like they belong to the base game. I try to avoid treading the same ground, but when it's done, maybe there will be a story left to be told.
Hello Minoh, I wanted to suggest something and I wasn´t sure were to post this so I guess I´ll do it here.
But before just let me congratulate you by everything you have accomplished so far. This VN is amazing and Asterion is simply gorgeous: things with this bull have been a roll-coaster but I am glad he is finally trusting me. Also I want to thank you on the execution of the story. Its a refreshing change. I mean, here I love someone and not for the sexual value of a bed scene but as my inner struggle to show Asterion that I want to love him no matter what and I mean it, giving him all the time needed and doing everything in our hands to make it true.
Now as for the suggestion... It seems at some point, things will get intimate indeed between us so... I remembered the music from chapter 16...
....and I was wondering if you could use this music again when that time arrives. I loved this track because it sounds mystical, exotic, unlike anything I´ve heard before and I find it would be awesome to hear this while I am just hugging my horned boyfriend <3. I could just close my eyes and imagine that scene and that music.
I commissioned some art of my favourite minotaur from @ShanShanrun on Instagram (@Shanshankuo on Twitter/bsky) https://shanshankuo.carrd.co/
You know when I was bored looking for gay VNs on here I wasn't expecting to become emotionally invested in this man's happiness and safety
I'm not much for coloring, does this count?
What if Asterion had a horsecock?
