Hi all. I was really excited to bring my largest game project by far, The Hotel, to Steam. I knew there would be some challenges with converting Quest games to a .exe format like Steam requires compared to Twine which is what my last two releases have been, but unfortunately, Steam did not like the workaround I had made (packaging Quest in with the game as a dependency) and it has come to a point where I have to postpone the game.
The only option currently for converting Quest games to HTML (and therefore an .exe) lies in QuestJS, an unofficial update to the software. It has a converter, it works, but not very well, and especially not very well with games as large as The Hotel. It would take probably 40-50 unpaid hours of work to get it into a workable state and that is with no guarantee of it working whatsoever. So until QuestJS is to a point where conversion is easier, I will not be bringing The Hotel to Steam.
If you've been wanting to play the game, don't fret - it and all my other content are still available over at https://rebelradio.itch.io
Hopefully I will see y'all again soon!
