The hotel that was put on hold

As we've talked about before we're believers in making prototypes. When it comes to product development, you can't plan everything. When an idea strikes, you have to test it and play with it to get a better understand of it: Is it really as good as you think and hope it is? If not, scrap it.

The consequence of this method is that you're often throwing out a lot of work. Only the very best get to be in the actual game.

One of the thing we played with, was making it possible to build hotels, car parks, trees, lakes, etc. around your stadium. However, for now, that idea has been put on hold. We're afraid to move too much focus away from what Virtual Manager is about: football.

While playing with the idea we got to design a hotel. Hotels were just one of the things you were supported to built next to your stadium. Today, I stumbled upon the graphics for that hotel and thought it was a pity that it just collected dust in a distant folder on my computer. Why not share it with you guys? So here you are! :)
