Dizzy Hill Studios asked us to clarify some things.
Ilona Andrews App – this is a book-journaling style app that’s being beta tested right now. It lists our series, presents blog posts, has quotes, progress rewards, etc.
Wanderer Chronicles: Out Of Orbit – this is a farming sim video game set in the Innkeeper universe that is developed by Dizzy Hill.
The App
Why do we need the app?
It’s a fun way to keep up with your reading progress. It will have quizzes, lots of worldbuilding stuff, some free fiction, and most importantly, it will pick up our news, so you won’t have to worry about missing a release or a giveaway.
What information does the app store?
The app is stored locally on your phone. We don’t really keep any of your information. You are not logging into an online server or anything like that.
Are there in-app purchases?
No. The app links to our book and merch store, but you have to make your purchases online, separately of the app environment.
When is it available?
September. It is free and it will be implemented on iPhones first. If the demand is there, we will invest in the Android version as well. The initial launch version concentrates heavily on Maggie’s world, because we used it as our test case, but we will be adding Encyclopedia sections for Innkeeper, Hidden Legacy, KD, etc. as we go along.
The Game
What is the game about?
You crash land on a planet and end up running an inn. Due to plot reasons, it won’t be a full inn experience. This inn has less powers than Gertrude Hunt, but it will allow you to make specific rooms to attract guests. You will grow crops, harvest timber, mine ore, salvage space wrecks for parts, etc.
When is it available?
The game is a long way off. We expect at least 2 years until Early Access/ Beta Testing.
Which species appear in the game?
The game will have a mix of familiar species like the Otrokar, the Vampires, and the lees, but will also feature original species, not mentioned in the books. Some characters from the Innkeeper Chronicles might make cameos.
Giveaway
Because the Innkeeper Universe is so large, Dizzy Hill would like to know which of the alien guests you would like to see.
To enter, leave us a comment on this blog post and tell us what is your favorite species and why they should get a spot in the game.
Winner will be chosen at random and will win a $100 private shopping spree at our store. We will even resurrect the old Innkeeper designs for you like the Dushegub tote on request.
The giveaway is open to international readers with the caveat that not all items might be available. Winner will be chosen on September 4th.
Defìnitely the space chickens.
Space chickens should be a clear win
Higgra because a big fluffy cat that talks and demands the brushing. As cats are basically small fluffy dragons it makes the most sense to have such an apex predator who also aspects pampering of the highest order appear and help gamers with the etiquette of the great Higgra.
Also as a cat and dragon fan I will always go for the cat. If not than the dragon like creature that maud fights as sometimes you need a knight to slay a bad dragon who has lost all sense of decorum. Most dragons are of course calm and rational creatures and it’s only a few instances where one must employ a knight.
The philosophical space chickens! Otherwise known as the koo-ko. They’re just hilarious in their arguments. And the First Scholar is so dedicated. Every time they pop up in the series, I perk up and prepare to giggle.
I think Quillonians should get a special mention in the game! Orro was one of my favourite characters in book 2 and I’d definitely like to learn more about him in the future! Besides, what would an Inn be without its grumpy but talented chef? 🥰❤️
The Drifan interest me.
(Though if I had to pick an Innkeeper favorite, it would be Helen!)
