If you like Golden Krone Hotel, you can thank the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge which spawned it. I've been doing 7DRL for 10 years now. This year I decided to try something a bit strange: a rhythm game. The official judging process has concluded and somehow my game Conga Dungeon ranked #1. I urge you to check out the games. There are a ton of amazing entries. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26549830/dc1007b063555859c015cde25998350bbce1ce22.gif Along with Conga Dungeon and three GKH updates over the last year, I've also been working here and there on expanding Leyliner, a cross between a traditional roguel

This update fixes several bugs and balance issues introduced in v1.10 as well as fixing the lag when encountering lots of monsters/obstacles (pretty noticeable sometimes on Steam Deck). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26549830/a13a421b1dbc668861ccd668cf68300f32ca24fd.gif One big UI issue was the lack of potion tooltips when playing on controller or Steam Deck. All menus with potions now show the full potion tooltip. So with these two improvements to Steam Deck playability, I can say without reservation it's a damn great experience on that platform. One other neat feature: you can mark Hawker items to buy l

This update includes full Steam Deck support including achievements, solid controls, and controller rumble. Golden Krone Hotel already played well on controller and it's now a great fit for Steam Deck. The only known issue: there's occasional lag in some areas with a lot of monsters or animated tiles; I hope to address this in the future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26549830/16042b02e1e9195b4817f5a546ced9784a9848fe.png A new branch, 3 new spells, and 5 new monsters have also been added. Significant changes were made to the game's overall strategy, which now makes it easier to plan out your run but tric

Hello, my Kronies! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26549830/399e833cc4ef71f3fa9f31172cf39fc2e67b4567.jpg Since the release of v1.9, I've actually been pretty busy with work on Leyliner. A few months ago a player informed me that the controls were completely borked on Steam Deck. I ordered a Steam Deck immediately and just got mine in the mail a few days ago. Good news: I've been able to push out a quick build on the experimental branch that appears to work surprisingly well on Steam Deck. Controls work flawlessly out of the box. It's a pretty great experience from my limited testing. Bad news: there are de

Thanks to all who joined the v1.9 beta. It's now fully live. v1.9 introduces an explosive new branch plus many new spells and abilities. A huge number of small tweaks and improvements have been included. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26549830/72b42dbefcb6a67fa9be24f15deaff58cf5c8e84.png v1.9 summary: New branch GREAT HALL: tons of goblins and explosions Three new spells: VORTEX, FETTER, and QUILLS Six new abilities: AURA, SHRED, WRING, GUZZLE, ASSASSINATE, and FRENZY Abilities now take 0 turns and can be chosen out of 3 options Changes to Officer, Apothecary, Assassin, Commander, and Challenger disguises

This is a followup to the last announcement that v1.9 is live on the experimental branch. Here are a few fixes and tweaks to that: Major Fixed a locking issue when selecting demon blood abilities after a save/load Chests now explode their items onto the surrounding tiles instead of just being a menu Greatly improved QUILLS damage Removed the slow moving camera system completely due to performance concerns Made several early game monsters have slightly less dexterity (easier to hit and dodge) Minor Fixed odd staircases descriptions (e.g. "staircase to floor 17") Fixed a misleading UMBRA descrip

I know I said last July that I would no longer update the game. That's generally true as far as big content updates go, but I've wanted to tackle a few quality of life issues. Quality of life stuff These things have been requested for quite a while. I thought the game had ample warning about starvation, but it turns out tunnel vision is forcing a lot of players to miss the standard warning. So I'm adding a modal warning whenever you're near starving. Also, all levels are mapped on the Hotel Map as soon as you see stairs leading to them. You also get a little log message which might help you sp

The Valentine's Weekend Competition is over. You can see the leaderboards here: http://www.goldenkronehotel.com/valentines.php You might notice a particular participant there a lot: me! I never realized how fun the game is with turn restrictions. And the winning runs were quite surprising. Sub-2000 turn wins!?! I don't think anyone of us realized what was possible before this competition. Congratulations to LuckyLuckLuc, Tone, and zxc. The turnout was a bit lower than I expected, so I still have 1 key for Rogue Empire. The first comment requesting the key will get it.
