Dungeon Tavern News

Ever since launch, we've been hard at work providing additional updates to the game! While we already released a glut of new additions/fixes/and changes in the first week- many of the things we've since had to tackle are more in the backend, and bigger infrastructure things, in order to better accommodate some of the ideas that were suggested, as well as some of the larger patches coming up. There is also a ton of stuff that we've made progress on, that we want to roll out as part of the larger 0.2 update coming in December- as the new content makes sense being released all together.

None the less- there are still some minor additions and changes that are playable now- with many more to come in the following month!

New Features:

• - The Paladin now has a foreplay animation with Imp. This update addresses the issue where players were giving gems but receiving nothing in return.
  
• - Added a new music track in Adventure mode.
  
• - Introduced a new music track in the Gallery.
  

Fixes:

• - Fixed an issue where some Gallery Imp entries were missing.
  
• - Fixed Gallery UI not scaling with screen size.
  

Changes:

• - Significant modifications have been implemented in backend systems, such as the save system, to facilitate future development and enable multiplatform releases.
  

We're spending a lot of time this week continuing our game development grind and doing our best to take care of as many issues as we can, that people are bringing to us during the launch window. While in general we will be working on regular hotfixes and smaller updates between our major milestone goals- release/update windows usually have more feedback for us to directly address.

As such, instead of doing individual hotfix posts, I'll just be posting them all here in this thread, as we will likely have multiple smaller fixes and patches coming out this week.

Dungeon Tavern is now available in Early Access! The whole team is very excited not only to be able to share what we've been working on, but also to share our plans for the game's future!

Originally, we intended this project as a short but sweet experimental sandbox, a tribute to some of our favorite Japanese "animation unlocker" games. However, as we've worked on it, we realized the potential to use the base that we've developed to be able to tell a story of our own and to expand on the number of interactions possible in the sandbox.

As such we ended up making the decision to release the game in Early Access- so that we would be able to have the time and support needed to add our additional ideas to the game, but also to be able to collect feedback from the community, and possibly incorporate fan-favorite character archetypes and requested features!



As for the time being- launch is usually quite a volatile time in any game's life, and while the team and I have gone through the game several times in preparation for launch, no game is without it's bugs. We'll be staying on standby and keeping a close eye on the forums over the next couple of days, ready to crank out hotfixes if needed.

So make sure to drop by the Steam community or the TinyHat Studios Discord and interact with us! Even if you don't have any bugs to report, we're curious to hear what you guys think of the game and if you have any ideas you would like to see us add!

Had your eye on a certain game for a while? Been out of the loop and checking back in on what's new? Want to gift something to a friend? Well, you're in luck- now's the time to buy! We've got discounts & updates abound, so go and check out what we have to offer!
