[p]Exactly two years ago today, on October 27th, 2023, we first launched Dungeon Tavern into Early Access on Steam. The game has gone through many changes since it's release. Despite an originally rocky start, we've received a lot of fantastic feedback and support from our audience which has helped us find our footing with the game. We've come to a point now where myself and the rest of the team can earnestly say we're proud with what this game has become and what we have to show off.

Much of the story and content was completed as of the last update- so the 1.0 update is mainly focusing on core features, quality of life, and putting some of the finishing touches on the ending sequence we showed off in the last patch.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Changelog 1.0:[/h2][p][/p][p]SAVE & LOAD: This is where most of our effort has gone since the last update- the game was originally intended to have a more simplistic, fixed state, save system. However one of the biggest requests has been for a multiple save slot system, with manual loading. Now you can relive your favorite moments/scenes, or just use the save system to help with some of the branching choices![/p][p][/p][p]HIDE & LOG: Two more highly requested core features, you can now temporarily hide the text UI to better view the animated CGs, as well as pull up a log of recent dialogue lines. Accidentally skipped some dialogue? Don't worry, you can get caught up again.[/p][p][/p][p]GAME ENDINGS: We've gone ahead and polished up the ending scenario more from the last update. Most notably, adding voice acting! The whole main sequence should be fully voiced now- we've tested it ourselves, but if you run into any gaps in the voicework, please let us know.[/p][p]Otherwise the ending vignettes have been expanded a little, some of the artwork has been updated, and there is a new (SFW) CG that's been added to the ending sequence to help convey some of the dramatic circumstance.[/p][p][/p][p]NEW CGS: Kreyton and Bambi now have an additional CG, giving them a bit more parity with Inga.[/p][p][/p][p]INGA UPDATES: As promised, we've gone and re-worked/expanded on Inga's story interactions![/p][p][/p][p]MAX BONDING, REVISED: Now whenever you fully max out your bond with a character, you can continue to spend time with them! Instead of skipping ahead to the next time period, you will have a choice of triggering one of the sandbox-styled overworld sex animations.[/p][p][/p][p]NEW ACHIEVEMENTS: Now with the endings in place, we've gone ahead and added some new Steam achievements related to the various story outcomes! Each ending has an animated CG associated with it, so the achievements are just an extra bonus on top![/p][p][/p][h2]Roadmap Recap:[/h2][p] We originally launched into Early Access with a roadmap- we've since been able to not only complete every goal on said roadmap, but have also added a bunch of content not originally promised! Lets take a look back at the history of the game and recall the things added in previous patches-[/p][p][/p][h2][/h2]

[p][/p][h2]What's Next?[/h2][p][/p][p]We are leaving early access, but that doesn't mean we're just going to be walking away from the game. We've been having folks beta test this 1.0 update ahead of time as we've been working on it to make sure everything goes smoothly, but no game launch is without its bug fixes. We will of course be keeping an eye on the game prior to launch and addressing any bug reports or feedback you guys might have.

That being said, we also have plans for some additional content! We will be using update 1.1 to add some things that are extra bonuses to round out what's already here, instead of anything that the game needs to feel "complete." For instance, we have one more guest character we'd like to add- Redd Ryder, who is a character from the first game we released on Steam, Spooky Starlets! She will have her own sandbox animations and 2 story CGs. There's also an optional bonus sex scene featuring Celeste I want to add to the game's story mode. Maybe some other scenes if we have the space and time for them. We want to also fill in as many voice acting gaps as possible- revisiting the hangout side conversations and ensuring all of those are fully voiced as well, as right now a couple of those scenes are still voiceless, as they are "optional" content. (Guest character scenes will remain unvoiced however.)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Beyond 1.1, we are setting our sights on a potential larger update/expansion. Many folks have asked about wanting to play as Celeste and seeing the game's story from her perspective. We really liked that idea- in fact, we liked it so much, we've been coming up with a lot of great ideas for how we can properly do it justice, allowing for new scenes and expanded content. [/p][p][/p][p]That being said, we want to give ourselves time to do this right, to be able to revisit the project with fresh eyes and be able to treat Celeste's POV like a sort of "Shadows of the Erdtree" type situation. Basically our hopes for a Celeste POV update is less of a 1.2 and more of a 2.0. Once we get some of the aforementioned bonus content in the game, we'll be temporarily shifting our attention to some other projects. Some are older/existing ones, such as a major overhaul/update to Spooky Starlets. (Which is the sort of thing we want to do for DT's Celeste update.) Some are newer projects that we've had to put down to make sure we've been giving Dungeon Tavern the time and attention it deserves.[/p][p][/p][p]Back to the current patch, Dungeon Tavern will be discounted for the next two weeks! If you were on the fence, or wanted to get the game for a friend, now is the time to do it! Some other titles in the TinyHat adult games label will also be discounted, so go check those out too!

As a post-script, many thanks to user MrUbiePie who came up with a beautiful 3D model of everyone's favorite Imp, Izzy. With his permission we 3D printed it and painted it, which is the Izzy figure you see in the newspost image![/p]

Wild West gunslinging adventure, Revolver Lillies, is coming to Steam soon! However, as a part of Steam Next Fest you can play a brand new playable demo, today!

Revolver Lillies is a top-down looter shooter featuring fast-paced battles, randomly generated weapons, and comic book inspired pixel-art visuals. Check it out and be prepared for when it launches!

[p]We're officially in the final stretch before leaving Early Access, there isn't much left on the block to do! The subject of our focus this time is a new guest character Inga- she's got 2 animated, full-screen CGs! Additionally, we've got the game's ending sequence in place! We want to get feedback on it and see if maybe there is room for improvement, but everything is in place and ready.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]STORY:[/h2][p]GAME ENDINGS: A number of endings are now available! A lewd end, a chaste end, two bad ends- depending on your choices and who you befriended, or didn't, the type of ending available to you will change.[/p][p]Additionally, there are various post-script vignettes that can be unlocked if you have certain characters maxed out for certain endings. These are an initial rough draft, I'm looking into maybe expanding on them a bit more.[/p][p][/p][p]NEW INTRO: We expanded the Bergo and Serania sex scene at the start of the game- it has a full screen animated CG now![/p][p][/p][p]FREE ROAM VOYEURISM: If you're on the lewd route, you'll be able to catch glimpses of Celeste getting it on in various places during the tavern free roam sections. Included by popular demand![/p][p] [/p][h2]ART & ANIMATION:[/h2][p]6 NEW FULLSCREEN SEX CGs: Many include variants, most are animated! [/p][p][/p][p]NEW CHARACTER, INGA: This original character is replacing the slot that Inge once filled. She's got unique animated full screen CGs. We'll be revising her story scripts soon and maybe even giving her a little bit more story content to help flesh out some of keeper's motivations.[/p][p]
NEW CHARACTER, ???: A secret... new? character joins the game's cast. Technically this isn't a new character, but rather an existing character. It's complicated. It's a spoiler. We hope you like him![/p][p][/p][h2]AUDIO:[/h2][p]ADDITIONAL VOICE ACTING: Everything up until the end of Day 7 is voiced.[/p][p][/p][p]As a heads up, it's not ready yet, but we're hoping for 1.0 to update the save system to work like a traditional save-slot system. You'll be able to save and load anywhere. Perfect for reliving your favorite scenes when you want![/p][p][/p][p]Back to the current patch, Dungeon Tavern will be discounted for the Steam Autumn Sale! If you were on the fence, or wanted to get the game for a friend, now is the time to do it! The other titles in the TinyHat adult games label will also be discounted, so go check those out too!

0.8.1:[/p][p]Izzy DP scene fixed.[/p][p]Branching during the end sequence for if you maxed out Rayan's friendship or not.[/p][p]Celeste hangout 3 fixed.[/p][p]Other various reported bugs fixed.



As a reminder since 1.0 is around the corner, even once we launch, that won't be the end of Dungeon Tavern! We still plan to cook up post-launch updates, such we a new guest character (Redd Ryder from Spooky Starlets).

Later down the line, we'd also like to do a new campaign where players can experience the events of Dungeon Tavern's main story from Celeste's point of view! This will be revisited later on, in like a year or so, such that we can take a step back from the game, work on some new projects, and then use what we've learned on those new projects to hopefully improve on what we're able to do for the Celeste route. We'd like it to be a sort of "Shadows of the Erdtree" deal. This isn't set in stone yet, but letting you guys know what our line of thinking is- smaller additional content drops right after launch, with possibly a larger content drop a year or two after launch.[/p]

[p]As we get closer to wrapping up the game's endings, we're continuing to revisit and touch-up existing content. The subject of our focus this time is Izzy- she's getting 2 additional animated, full-screen CGs! These replace her sprite animations in the story mode hangouts- though of course her sprite animations can still be obtained in sandbox mode.[/p][p][/p][p]We've also wanted to work on adding more sauce to the game overall. Style, polish, presentation, juice. Thus the Saucy Devil update- adding new content for everyone's favorite Imp, while also improving the game's overall feel.[/p][p][/p][h2]STORY:[/h2][p]
NEW EVENT CONTENT: We've added 2 new dialogue scenes with Celeste on days 3 and 5 to help ease into her potential "corruption" so it doesn't come as such a swing when/if it happens.[/p][p][/p][p]We've also added a warning event that will play if you've triggered the "slutmode" conditions- but said event will also give you an option to disable her corrupted route if you don't want to see the NTR variants of the latter day events. This means you can get your dick wet as much as you want with Percy early on while still doing a (mostly) pure route. This won't be entirely consequence free as we will have it still affect the ending you get- but we hope it gives players more options when it comes to the kind of content they get to see without feeling like they are being railroaded too hard down the NTR route.[/p][p] [/p][h2]ART & ANIMATION:[/h2][p]4 NEW FULLSCREEN SEX CGs: Many include variants, most are animated! [/p][p]CUMMING CG ANIMATIONS: Many of the full-screen CGs now include a "cumming" and "rest" variant![/p][p]ANIMATION UPDATES: Full screen CGs that were previously stills have now been given animations![/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][h2]AUDIO:[/h2][p]ADDITIONAL VOICE ACTING: We finally managed to implement a bunch of the new voice acting that we've been working on! Expect some minor patches/hotfixes throughout the upcoming week as we continue to drop in and fill out lines. As of this update, most scenes up through Day 5 are voiced. Once we implement everything in the next couple of weeks, everything up until the end of Day 7 will be voiced.[/p][p]NEW MUSIC: We've added many new music tracks to the game, which should add some much needed variety and style to existing scenes. Mainly, lots of new tracks are used for the animated sex scenes, which should hopefully help build the mood for those scenes even more![/p][p]NEW SFX: We've gone and added/updated SFX for almost every UI interaction in the game- we hope this helps add some much needed "feedback" to player interactions and helps make everything feel meatier.[/p][p][/p][p]To top it off, Dungeon Tavern will be discounted for the next week! If you were on the fence, or wanted to get the game for a friend, now is the time to do it! The other titles in the TinyHat adult games label will also be discounted, so go check those out too![/p][p][/p][p]Patch 0.7.1a:[/p]
