DTD1512: My Loft Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

Become the manager of a curious, out of the way bed and breakfast in My Loft – a voice-first, casual game exclusive to Alexa by Amazon.
From the skill description:
My Loft plays out entirely in real-time. Every day you play, you’ll experience a new quirky guest, playful events, and new ways to upgrade and customize your loft.
As your loft improves, you’ll attract more influential and demanding guests. From the charming farmer next door to the world’s greatest rock star, you’ll enjoy chatting with them, laughing with them, and learning their dreams and fears.
Features -
Voice-first game design lets you talk to your guests, befriend them, learn their secrets, and help them achieve their goals.
Real-time gameplay lets friends and family get involved in your loft. Guests arrive in the morning and leave the next day. The more everybody interacts with them, the happier they’ll be when they leave.
28 playful guests to entertain, ranging from championship dog breeders and novelists to famous influencers and celebrity chefs. Each guest features hundreds of lines of dialogue, voiced by professional actors.
Over 250 decorative objects to customize your loft with. Make your place more comfortable with deluxe beds and chairs, cooler with guitars and posters, or weirder with donut statues and rhino-shaped couches.
High fidelity 3D graphics and animation bring the characters and world of My Loft to life.
For customers with the new Echo Show 10, My Loft includes gameplay that follows you as you play and also delightful, motion choreographed screen animation.
My Loft is free-to-play. You may purchase additional, themed decoration packs to supplement the decorating experience.
HOW TO PLAY
Once you’ve checked a guest into your loft, chat with them often to keep them happy: Try, “Alexa, talk to my guest”
Guests check out the next day. The more stars you’ve earned, the more they’ll pay you. You can spend your hard-earned coins in the store to buy new decorations, props, and wallpapers: Try, “Alexa, what’s for sale?”
All items in the game rated for Comfort, Coolness, and Weirdness. The higher each of these ratings get, the more new guests you’ll unlock. At any point, you can check your Guest List to see who’s in town, and invite back your favorite people: Try, “Alexa, open my guest list”
You can tap on an item to move it, sell it, or transfer it into Storage, where you can access it later. You can rearrange the furniture in your loft at any time: Try, “Alexa, design mode”
To move through your loft, you can try, “Alexa, go to the living room,” “Alexa, go to the bedroom,” or, if you’ve unlocked it, “Alexa, go to the library”
HINTS & TIPS
If you get a guest’s happiness to 5 stars, you’ll get a special, unique gift. Try to collect them all!
To access your storage, try, “Alexa, open my storage”
If you’ve purchased in-skill purchases, they’ll always be available from storage. Try, “Alexa, open my storage”
Didn’t hear what a guest said? Try, “repeat that?”
Items in the store refresh every hour or so – check back often for those rare items!
Sometimes guests get tired of chatting. Give them an hour or so to rest up, and they’ll be ready to talk again soon.
Tired of an annoying guest? Try, “Alexa, kick out my guest”
Everybody likes to dance. Try, “Alexa, ask my guest to dance”
You can turn off the music, by saying “Alexa, mute music” or “Alexa, turn music on”
Be sure to check in on Fridays when Dewey drops by to paint your room, and on Saturdays where Uncle Abel sets up a farmer’s market where you can earn some extra coins
