We've taken the feedback we've received on the game so far and hope this update goes a long ways in making the game feeling intuitive and enjoyable!

We are working to make sure that we can get to a point where future updates will not require save wipes, but for the time being, new saves will be required for this update.

[h2]UPDATE: Both patches will be arriving on April 30th!!![/h2]

Heya guys! Just wanted to check in and give an update on how development has been going and where we are in relation to the roadmap and milestones we set out. As I have outlined previously, we would like to drop a major content update once per quarter, and our last update was in December, meaning that April is when we plan to release the next big themed update.

That being said, we've decided to break the update into two separate updates, releasing the first one in March, with the second one coming out as intended in April, so that we can get updates out to you guys faster.

[h2]March's Update - (Controller & Steam Deck Support)[/h2]

• Reworks to Character Interactions & Navigation
• Controller Support
• Steam Deck Support
• Steam Trading Cards

This one is more focused on gameplay and core mechanics than it is content. We've been exploring ways we can make the game easier to understand and less annoying to navigate. We also want to give people more ways to play, based off of feedback we've received. This one might not be as fabulous as the update planned in April, but we think this will go a long ways towards a better base for future content and improvements to come.


[h2]April's Update - (Mean and Green)[/h2]

• Cloud Meadow Crossover- Kreyton as a Tavern Guest
• Gay & Lesbian Animations
• Main Story Day 3
• Character Side Story Interactions

This is the big one! We've partnered with our friends over at Cloud Meadow and are excited to announce that our first tavern guest will be a character from their game! Kreyton is a green, towering, ogre woman whose stature is sure to shake things up, being bigger than any of the other characters (except maybe minotaur.) Pictured below are early sketches for some of the animations we want to do with her, which would allow us to make use of her size.

Originally we wanted Camellia to be the guest character- if you were curious about whose silhouette that was in the roadmap. However we ended up deciding that she didn't quite fit the monstrous look of the other tavern patrons enough.


We made other deviations from the roadmap as well, but ones I think you guys will like! We've been so invigorated by the game's reception at launch that we bumped up the schedule for new animations between the existing cast. As such, the Gay & Lesbian animations will be arriving earlier than outlined on the roadmap. Check out how they're shaping up so far!



Lastly, we'll be adding Day 3 of the main story- along with some other new story content. This has taken us longer than expected because we wanted to go back and add more choice to the main story. The idea will be that during each main "time period", the player will be able to choose which character they interact with, which will play some dialogue and story unique to that character and time period. This adds some more character interactions in between main story segments so that you can get to know them better as the story progresses.

In the future we want to add relationship tracking depending on how much time you spend with characters, which will influence what ending you get- but for now we're just focusing on getting the story content in. The quarterly update in the Summer will be more focused on adding in more RPG mechanics and stats tied to these character side stories.

Very quick fixes to address some community feedback!

[h2]Hotfix 0.2.1[/h2]
Fixed: Soft lock in story mode with black screen that never goes away
Fixed: Gallery Minotaur tab leading to CGs

[h2]Hotfix 0.2.2[/h2]
Fixed: Other instances of black screen in Story mode
Fixed: Paladin and Cleric can now drink pink potion
Fixed: Icorrect gallery image for Sorceress thighjob

[h2]Hotfix 0.2.3[/h2]
New: Izzy masturbation scene

Fixed: Imp Paladin standing scene not triggering
Fixed: All issues related to Princess group scene
Fixed: Masturbation scene scale issues
Fixed: Girl on girl and boy on boy flirting showing unrelated scenes.
Fixed: Item trading resetting consumable charges
Changed: Status triggers when talking have been removed

[h2]Hotfix 0.2.4[/h2]
Fixed: Story mode not working on fresh playthrough
Fixed: Imp not being able to drink pink potion
Changed: Input detection for camera pan and zoom functionality in Sandbox. This might be a possible fix for people not being able to control the camera as expected if they have touch capable screens or touch capable periphery plugged into their gaming machine.

[h2]Hotfix 0.2.5[/h2]
Fixed: Izzy Ranger/Brute bed scene positioning
Fixed: Interactions triggered between floors firing off too early when taking stairs
Fixed: Izzy Ranger/Brute group scene not being triggerable

Hotfixes for other reported issues are in the pipeline and coming to a Tavern Dungeon near you very soon.

We've almost doubled the amount of animation content in the game! On top of that, due to popular demand, Izzy the Imp is now a fully playable character! We've also gone ahead and incorporated a bunch of other quality of life changes based off of feedback we've received- trying to sand down as many of the little annoyances as we can.

Furthermore, we've changed the way the sex animations are handled- they now play until the player chooses to stop them, and can also be interacted with by some characters. We hope this will allow you guys to better enjoy the content currently in the game, as well as empower you to come up with your own kinky scenarios and interactions between the characters!


While we had originally planned to introduce some new story content with this update- we've decided to delay Day 3 for a little bit, but for a good reason. We came up with an idea that will allow us to make the story more interactive, past simple visual novel choices. We will go into more detail about this in a future news post, but we're very excited to share what we've come up with!

Last but not least, the game will be discounted for the next week as a part of the Steam Winter 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!

NOTE, old saves are not compatible with this update. We are working to make sure that we can get to a point where future updates will not require save wipes, but for the time being, new saves will be required for this update.
