Dungeon Tavern News

Okay, so we're still not in 1.0 yet, but it's for a good reason! We've went ahead and added a WHOLE BUNCH of brand new sex CGs to the story mode- with plenty of variety too. Some gay stuff, some futa stuff- even some silly stuff and some lovey dovey stuff.

The scenes that stick out to us are all bath related fun though, thus the Rub-A-Dub-Date theming.

Originally we hadn't intended to put this many full screen, traditional styled, animated CGs in the game- but we had the resources and decided we might as well spend the time and effort making the storymode even more plump with juicy content. It's delayed our initial launch plans a little bit, but we hope the results are worth the additional wait on for the ending scenarios.



[h2]STORY:[/h2]

• NEW EVENT CONTENT: Days 5, 6, and 7 now feature new original story content which we hope serve as a sort of "payoff" to all of the mounting sexual tension.
  
• RAYAN REWORK: Some folks were disappointed that Rayan's sex & story content were tied closely to the main narrative, instead of unlockable in his romance route. We've made changes which give Rayan a more traditional route like the other characters!
  
• THIGHJOB REWORK: The thighjob you can receive from Serania on Day 1 has been replaced with a proper full screen CG.
  

[h2]ART & ANIMATION:[/h2]

• 13 NEW FULLSCREEN SEX CGs - Many include variants, most are aniamted!
  
• CUMMING ANIMATIONS- Added the cumming animations to the gallery also
  
• NEW STORY CONTENT- All 7 days of the game's story are done, with the finale coming in 1.0
  

[h2]GAMEPLAY:[/h2]

• Slut Mode, it's finally here. If you were naughty during the story mode early on as Percival, then Celeste will return the favor starting from Day 5 onwards. Watch her get down and dirty in a number of swapping & cuckolding scenarios.
  

[h2]MISC:[/h2]

• Achievements a number of achievements are now available and collectible! More coming soon with the full 1.0 update also!
  
• Cheat Codesare still available but I figured it was worth reminding folk- want to skip the grind and unlock everything in the gallery? We've added a handy way to easily unlock all animations- just input seraniaseesall into the cheatcode box and have fun!
  

NOTE, OLD SAVES MIGHT NOT WORK DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU WERE IN THE STORY. For the most part we've tried our best to keep saves compatible- but since some of the Rayan content got moved from the main story to his hangouts, if your save is from that area, you might encounter some weirdness. Try playing your old saves- but if you run into any issues, do a fresh run and you should be good.

Okay now for real, the next thing on the horizon is 1.0 launch, which will bring with it the conclusion to the main story as well as additional & updated voice acting, among other things. We're putting a lot of effort into this conclusion and have made some unique assets for it, we can't wait to show it off!

As a reminder, even once we launch, that won't be the end of Dungeon Tavern. We still plan to bring in a couple of post-launch updates, such we further guest characters, and eventually a new campaign where players can experience the events of Dungeon Tavern's main story from Celeste's point of view! So keep an eye out, we've still got more stuff coming!

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!

With our most recent update, we added Inge as a guest character to Dungeon Tavern as a part of a cross-over collaboration with the free-to-play game, Overlewd.

Now we're excited to announce that the Overlewd devs have just dropped an update which includes characters from Dungeon Tavern! Izzy the Imp will be making an appearance and even get her own sex scene. For a limited time, you can earn various Dungeon Tavern themed character skins also.

These guys have been a joy to work with and I personally have been quite smitten with the game ever since I first learned about it. I know not everyone is into free-to-play titles, but I found Overlewd to be a very charming breath of fresh air. It's got a very unique art style that I think is very hot, and on top of that it is funny and got me invested in its characters. Three guesses who my favorite character is, (it's Inge.)

Please check it out and show the devs some love, we hope you like the game as much as we do!

This update brings with it a pretty major overhaul of the existing game content- changing how some existing things work while fleshing out and improving other things.


[h2]STORY:[/h2]

• RE-WORKED MAIN STORY FLOW: We moved around the timing of certain events and sequences in order to trim off some of the fat. We're attempting to enforce a clear distinction between the linear story sequences and the free roam sequences, as well as better present the changes in the day/night cycle. We recommend resetting your save data to check out the new story flow, but don't worry- we've built a cheat code system to let you recover your gallery unlocks! See further below in the patch notes. Additionally, the main story now continues until the end of Day 6!
  
  
• BITS & BANTER: During each of the various free roam segments during the story, each tavern guest will have various things to say outside of their usual relationship building hangout sequence. Some of these are additional lore snippets, while others are tongue-and-cheek Easter Eggs. Additionally, you can now talk to characters that previously couldn't be interacted with, the Minotaur and the Bar Keeper. They don't have their own relationship levels, but they do have a bunch of things to say!
  
  
• LEWD HAPPENINGS: A smattering of lewd events/animations have been added to some of the free roam sections in the main story. Should spice up those interactions!
  
  
• COMPLETED CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: You can now get up to the maximum rank in all of the character relationship building levels! Previously this was capped at 3, but now all 5 are available. Some existing ones have also been re-worked. At level 3 and level 5 you can choose to initiate a sex scene (which use existing animations.) Ra'yan is an exception, he's a unique case for reasons you will discover in the story's conclusion. Speaking of story conclusions, the characters you max out your relationship with will have an impacting on the conclusion of the story when that is ready in the 1.0 update. Pick your friends wisely.
  

[h2]ART & ANIMATION:[/h2]

• 2 NEW SEX ANIMATIONS - 2 Inge poses with 3 variants of guy each!
  
  
• NEW ANIMATED CG- The sex scene you get with Serania after the attic has been unlocked now has it's own CG! It's not animated yet, but we will be pushing up a hotfix when the animation is available (sometime this weekend hopefully.) For the time being, the still CG is in, however.
  

[h2]MISC:[/h2]

• Cheat Codes are now available- want to skip the grind and unlock everything in the gallery? We've added a handy way to easily unlock all animations- just input seraniaseesall into the cheat code box and have fun!
  
• SKIP & AUTO- two highly requested features have been added, you can now easily skip text and also you can set the text to automatically advance at a comfortable reading pace, for hands free enjoyment!
  

[h2]CROSSOVER:[/h2]

• Inge, from the Free-to-Play game, Overlewd will visit the tavern on Day 5 of the main story. In Sandbox mode, there is a 50% chance every day that Inge, Kreyton. or Bambi will spawn. What's more, Overlewd will be running a Dungeon Tavern themed event where players can earn various skins and even a sex CG based off of the characters from Dungeon Tavern! It's a lovely game with an art style we adore, go check it out, it's free!

This should be the last update before our 1.0 launch, which will bring with it the conclusion to the main story as well as additional & updated voice acting, among other things. We're putting a lot of effort into this conclusion and have made some unique assets for it, we can't wait to show it off!

However, even once we launch, that won't be the end of Dungeon Tavern. We still plan to bring in a couple of post-launch updates, such we further guest characters, and eventually a new campaign where players can experience the events of Dungeon Tavern's main story from Celeste's point of view! So keep an eye out, we've still got more stuff coming!

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!

[h2]The next patch will be available March 14th![/h2]

The usual stuff is planned- more main story content and a new guest character (bringing new animations and interactions also.) However, there's a bunch of stuff coming up that wasn't necessarily on the roadmap too, which will be interesting!

All of the writing for Day 7 and the end of the game is more or less done now, however that will not be ready until the Summer as the implementation will take some time- we're planning on doing something unique for the climax of the game. I don't want to hype it up too much, but we are drafting up art assets and gameplay mechanics that show up and are used only for the ending to help add to the "payoff" of the rest of the game's "build up."



Which means that for now, I've been reviewing the existing content in the game to see how I can make things better. We've been collecting and gathering feedback and I've come up with a bunch of changes that I think you guys are gonna like- for instance, before selecting a character to hang out with during "free time" sections, characters will have dialogue. This means you can check in on characters briefly, even if you don't choose to hang out with them. It also means you'll be able to talk to the bartender and minotaur, so they'll have a little bit more of a presence in the story!

We've also re-worked some of the story flow to try and streamline things better, to give you guys more of a chance to interact more often instead of just constantly getting stuck in forced story bits. We also have updated some of the presentation for existing systems so your decisions end up having a bit more of a clear impact on what's going on! Here's a rough overview of everything coming up-

[h2]March's Update - (Golden Days)[/h2]

• Overlewd Crossover- Inge as a Tavern Guest
• BDSM (Stockade) Animations
• Main Story Day 6
• Tavern Interaction Sex
• Cheat Codes (Gallery Unlock)

In the meantime it is probably a good idea to announce some changes to how we want to handle the female protag route, where the story is told from Celeste's POV. We will NOT have this ready in time for launch- HOWEVER, I would like to think that we have a good reason why. The more I've been thinking about it, the more I think it makes sense to do Celeste's story as a post-launch free update, as a sort of 1.5 release. Even when the game enters 1.0, I'm sure there will still be some valuable player feedback and some things we can learn and improve from- having content goals to aim for after the game's "completion" will help us be able to further fine tune it as we grow as developers and artists, even after the main story is completed. Plus, it would allow us to focus on making her campaign larger and more fleshed out- think of it as our own "Shadows of the Erd Tree."

Hopefully any of this made sense. On paper it might not sound like the most enticing update, and it's kind of hard to show off how things look in still images- but I think once you guys have it in your hands you'll enjoy how all of the changes come together! I'm very happy with how things have been shaping up in my own playtesting sessions at least, I just hope you guys find it as fun also!

This has been an interesting update- there's been some stuff we thought we would get done in time that's still not done, but also plenty of stuff that we hadn't planned to come until later that managed to get done ahead of time.

For instance, when we pushed back the release date, the idea was to use the extra time to add more voice acting. However, due to scheduling conflicts, voice acting got pushed back. In it's place we worked on and managed to add brand new cumming variants to existing animations, as that has been a common request from you guys, to help the animations feel more organic and to finish off properly.

Day 5 of the story also got written, but hasn't been implemented yet. So keep an eye out, I hope to have supplementary smaller updates throughout November and December to round off additional content that is almost done, but didn't quite make the deadline.

The core mechanics and graphics of the new update are all done, thankfully- so it's just smaller pockets of content that need to be filled out in smaller patches.

0.4.2 (NEW, Nov 28th, 2024)
CUMMING ANIMATIONS- All animations except for the stockade animations how have cumming variations. Eat your heart out.

BAMBI HANGOUTS- Bambi now shows up during Day 4 of the story mode. You can choose to hang out with her to view some unique events. Hanging out with her (or Kreyton) does not advance the timeslot for the story mode, so please feel free to drop in and say hi!

2 NEW SEX ANIMATIONS- Percy & Bambi blowjob & standing animations. We somehow forgot to give Percy his sex animations with Bambi the last update- oops. That's fixed now.

DAY 5 STORY- Day 4 has been capped off with a potential sex scene with Serania. Day 5 has been added, with some potential gay content between Percy and Rayan.

As a heads up- the gallery has been reset. We left it unlocked from the start as a temporary measure while we dealt with issues people had reported about sandbox mode's stability. Now that we think sandbox mode is in a better place, we'd love for people to experiment, discover, and unlock animations to build out their gallery mode as intended.

0.4.1
[h2]STORY:[/h2]

• RELATIONSHIP SYSTEM: Each day (usually) has two different sandbox phases where you can walk around the tavern freely and choose who to spend time with. Spending time with them will increase your relationship, unlocking new story segments. This system is incomplete, relationships cannot be maxed out yet, but the idea is to have this system affect which ending you get. Choose your friends wisely.
  

[h2]ART & ANIMATION:[/h2]

• 28 NEW SEX ANIMATIONS
  
  
• CUMMING ANIMATIONS- 5 existing animations have been given a "cumming" phase/animation to properly end them out, we will be adding similar cumming animations to the rest of the poses in the game over the course of the next couple of months
  
  
• NEW FULL SCREEN ANIMATED CG- Izzy's DP scene on day 3 now features a full CG similar to the day 2 dream sequence. All of the other girls were featured in a CG, so we figured we should let Izzy get in on the fun too!
  

[h2]GAMEPLAY:[/h2]

• GUEST CHARACTER- Bambi, from the webcomic series, The Party will hang out in the outside area in sandbox mode (story mode content coming later.) There is a 50% chance every day that Kreyton or Bambi will spawn.
  
  
• NEW TAVERN AREA- The Attic (shows up in sandbox mode)
  

[h2]GALLERY:[/h2]

• Further Updated Gallery UI & presentation
  
  
• Temporarily set the gallery to start unlocked for this update, so people can see the new content faster.
  

Last but not least, the game 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!
