Dorm Upgrade Submissions
Please submit your apartment upgrades here. Dorm upgrades are 2000 points each, and the cost may be divided between unit members. The following rules and guidelines apply to upgrades:
Please use the following form:
Upgraded unit: [unit name]
Paid by: [link spreadsheet]
Details:
As a note, if you've received your dorm upgrade and you're cool with what it looks like, you can go ahead and assume that it's now in play. Even if the dorms page hasn't been updated yet, it is street legal to play with your upgrades!
- Up to three (though preferably just two) requests per person may be submitted at any given time. Please list your upgrades in order of priority, since if there are more than 15 upgrades within a dorm upgrade period there is a very high chance only your most prioritized one will be done in that wave!
- Upgrade requests will be written up and sent out on a (mostly) biweekly schedule! Mostly because very occasionally they might happen weekly, and (HOPEFULLY) more rarely, if there is other game work to prioritize or real life happens, they may take longer - in this case we will try to get at least five requests sent out per week until things have settled.
- Any player may draft a proposal for any dorm upgrades they have submitted themselves, but these will be subject to possibly very heavy editing! There are lots of edge cases and internal plot-related rules that limit what is actually possible, and in general we want to keep writing style as well as aesthetic more or less consistent. Alternatively we might just think a thing is really cool to add. In the case a self-written proposal is edited, we will comment to your request with the edit when other write-ups are sent out and from there you can then make further requests, the same as how it works with write-ups we do ourselves. If no edit is needed, we'll simply reply to your write-up with a note of approval like with all other points shop purchases.
- Upgrade requests do not necessarily require a specific theme, but must not be worth several upgrades together, i.e. if you just want an empty room with a fridge and a sink that's fine, but if you want a bar and a bathroom and a study all at once, that is not. If you can theoretically split the upgrade into several different upgrades, then each component must be individually submitted.
- To clarify the above point further, any separate room must be purchased as a separate upgrade - a general room upgrade cannot also add an entirely separate bathroom, though something like a half bathroom with no separation from the main room or a nook with a sink or toilet is acceptable.
- Upgrades cannot include any appliance or item that produces food or drink with the exception of junk foods (chip racks, soda fountains, etc.) and cold foods that must be put together - Lunchables® are in fact a legitimate kitchen appliance!
- While you may request specific details of the room, the unit's aesthetic may not be heavily compromised.
- Upgrades cannot provide a way for characters to enter the dorm that isn't public balcony or that floor's elevator lobby - no secret entrances from somewhere else to a private room or any other alternate entryways. In addition, while alternative exits from a dorm are allowed, they may only be one-way and must lead to some part of the hotel that has a pre-existing corresponding one-way pathway usable as an exit, such as the laundry room's laundry chute. In general, a handy guideline is that no upgrade cannot allow characters to bypass the main room of the unit's dorm, or create a new entrance or exit in the hotel proper.
- We reserve the right to reject any upgrade that does not follow the above set of rules.
- As a note, price may be reduced or increased depending on the request! We will contact you to let you know if this happens, with reductions being much more common than increases (except in the case of something being split into two separate upgrades).
- Please make sure to check to see if your unit's dorm already has locks, soundproofing, and increased size for all bedrooms! These will almost always be applied to all bedrooms when requested, and therefore most dorms should already have them. These also apply to all additional rooms within a bedroom.
- Please also make sure that you check the Dorms Page and look at the player changes for any rooms you're making changes to or upgrading! This is just to prevent any toe-stepping.
- Any dorm upgrade questions (including questions about upgrades already implemented), should be directed to Mora on Discord (Mora#9683), or to the mod email!

Details #1: Glitter Pit Upgrade
Located just below the lever for the snake pite trap door is a switch, with a crude picture of a snake on one side and a picture of... dots on the other? Flipping the switch to this new setting and pull the level will result in the trap door opening up to a new pit, one filled with FiN-shades of silver glitter and confetti in fun gear shapes.
On a wall of the pit is a LEAVE A LITTLE SPARKLE WHEREVER YOU GO poster.
Details #2: Personal Bedroom Upgrade
Shogun's bedroom is a stark white color, with geometric, unit-silver shapes running across the ground. Along the right wall runs various 3-D cubic shapes, some of which are joined together to make up a floor-to-ceiling dresser, while others go up to waist height with openings to serve as low shelving. In one corner, a large screen is mounted on the wall that can be hooked up to a phone. Underneath the screen is a sleek new white and silver gaming desk and chair, which flash with bright yellow lights whenever someone is working at the desk. In the center of the room is a circular, inset couch in whites and silvers, large enough to fit a whole team comfortably, with a cubic shaped coffee table in the center.
Against another wall is a large circular door, which opens to reveal a king-sized bed and just enough room to stand on said bed. Inset lighting can be controlled via a wall panel of controls, and despite the seemingly stuffy area, it's really quite comfortable on the bed. A second panel on the wall next to the bed-door controls the door and also has an additional 'maid service' button that will close the door to completely clean and make the bed, reopening with a delightful ping when done.
On the final wall is a large glass one-way window that stretches floor to ceiling and overlooks the city, with wall space on either side for personal decor. The window (currently) doesn't open.
The room is also now very much soundproof and comes with a fingerprint lock on the door, for secure locking on the inside and out.
Details #3: Personal Bathroom Upgrade
A new circular door has appeared amongst the cubic shapes on the right wall, opening vertically to reveal Shogun's private bathroom. The floor and walls are a stark white, with more geometric shapes in silver decorating the walls and a faint silver glow outlining each shape to add to that futuristic look. On the left wall is a seemingly simple square sink with a sleek chrome faucet that delivers water waterfall-style. Touch-activated, of course. There's a standard mirror above the sink, and a pair of full length mirrors on the left and right of it, for multiple options to check yourself out with. On the right wall is a chrome-finished, half-circle jacuzzi large enough for four that pulses with silver and yellow lighting when turned on. There's a screen on the wall above the jacuzzi for some in-tub viewings.
On the center wall is the main feature of the bathroom, a standing shower with clear glass walls forming a partial circle around the shower. Once you step in, glass walls close behind you and a screen pops up to allow you to customize your showering (or toileting) experience. In addition to the usual temperature and water pressure regulation, water jets can be set to spray from any and every angle once you're in the shower, ensuring the ultimate cleanliness. Another feature to the shower circle is a button that triggers a toilet to slide out from the wall, which slides back into the wall when your business is done. Better hope your business can wait a couple of seconds for the toilet to pop out first. Also better explain where your toilet is to any confused visitors...
