Greetings wizards!
We are thrilled to have you here and can't wait to share our creative vision with you.
In this devlog, we'll give you a bird's-eye view of Magic Inn: what it's all about and a hint of the story driving your journey.
What is Magic Inn
Magic Inn places you in the role of a business owner in a Harry-Potter-inspired magic fantasy world.
Business Owner
Before anything else, your inn is your business. You'll manage many aspects of the inn, such as staffing, menu, ingredients, reservations, and rooms. You have full freedom to customize your inn to your heart's content—we won’t confine your creativity to grids. Whether you aim for the glory of a 5-star inn or simply enjoy serving each customer your way, the choice is yours.
Power of Networking
You can't thrive in this world without friends. The bad news is you don't have the superpowers of foraging, farming, and crafting. The good news is that your network of farmers, herbalists, adventurers, builders, and even bandits can provide what you need. You'll need to manage these relationships. Invite them over for a meal, give gifts regularly, help them with favors, and host parties to build and maintain strong connections.
Strategic Conversation
Often, the most important battles are not fought with swords or wands, but with words. Engage in conversations with characters in the form of card battles to attract them, negotiate prices, gather intelligence, or persuade them to do the right things. As a peace-keeping wizard who never condones violence, you'll wield the power of words to achieve your goals.
Magic Fantasy
We admit it—we're huge Harry Potter fans. Imagine building your own Hogwarts from scratch. That's the idea that inspired us, and you can create your own magical haven in Magic Inn. With paintings of lively characters, floating candles, glow-in-the-dark vines, and more magical items in your inventory, you can build your own great hall.
Plus, you can cast spells and brew potions—your typical wizardry activities.
The Story
In short, you are a wizard with a mission, and innkeeping is just your disguise. The magical world is filled with secrets, schemes, and ambitions. But you'll also meet people with compassion, aspiration, and loyalty. Together, you'll become a formidable force based in the Magic Inn, working towards the greater good of the Kingdom.
That's all for now. Thank you so much for reading. We'll dive deeper into each section with more details in future devlogs.
