Introducing: The ANDU RETRO COLLECTION! šŸ’œ

Hey Innkeepers šŸ‘€


we have some amazing news for y'all! šŸŽ‰ It's no secret that everybody loves Andu. šŸ’œ So we made it to our sole mission to give you as much Andu as possible.

Presenting - THE ANDU RETRO COLLECTION šŸ”„

For the nostalgic feeling we all crave we put Andu (and other familiars) in the retro games of your childhood. šŸ•¹ļø

Starting off with Pong or as we like to call it - Andong!



Play as Andu against Renu in this thrilling match of Pong. Single-player only - to keep the Tavern Talk spirit alive. šŸŽ‰

Next up, do you have what it takes to stack Andu to the top? Hopefully not!



Tetris meets Andu to give you Andris. In this puzzle game, you need to think fast before all the Andus fall to the floor and stack upon each other! But be careful, once they reach the top, the game is over! 😮

Oh oh, is this an invasion of magical drinks?



Space Invaders, but it's magical drinks instead of aliens in Andu Invader! Blast the drinks away, so the patrons get none and Andu can have them all! šŸ‘¾

Speaking of giving Andu all the drinks...



Forget Pac Man, it's ANDU MAN! Eat all the magical drinks and treats, but better be fast - Skully is haunting you and maybe some other patrons will try to stop you! šŸ¹

Remember this next gem?



Flappy bird was yesterday, FLAPPY ANDU is now! And it comes with a day one DLC if you want to play as Flappy Dindi (only 9.99$!) šŸ’ø

Last but not least...



Ever wanted your own desktop familiar to feed and care for? Well, now you can with ANDUGOTCHI! Andu will sit right by your side, you can feed him desktop trash, magical drinks and other cute stuff. The best thing is - Andu needs only to be fed every two minutes. So he won't be distracting or anything. 🄰

What happens if you don't feed him? You don't wanna know. Haha.

But we saved the best information until the end. You're probably wondering - How much is this gonna cost me? 1 Million bucks??? 😱

No silly, for the low, low price of 119,59$ this collection of hastily put-together games can be yours! That is less than 20 bucks per game. You are actually robbing us! 🫰

What are you waiting for? ā°

Get your Andu Retro Collection now!!!


Listen to the official Andu Retro Collection soundtrack on Spotify!


Cheers,
Tommy

The Andu Plushie is finally here and you can get one for yourself! 🧸

Hey Innkeepers!


Time to cuddle with your favorite draconic familiar and get a bucket ready! šŸ’Æ The Andu Plushie Campaign launched on Makeship and this is your chance to grab the cuddliest ball of purple in Asteria. 🄰



[h2]🌟 Check out Plushie Andu & make sure to get one! 🌟[/h2]

500 have been sold already and more Andus can be made! The campaign will run until March 20th and thanks to Makeship our little Andu can travel worldwide at a standard price! That means if you have a bucket and want Andu as a pal, nothing can stop you! 🫰

What's important to know: Makeship will produce exactly as many plushies as are ordered during the campaign - no more, no less. Once the campaign closes on March 20th the number of plushies that will see the light of day will be set in stone. šŸ”’

[h2]Andu awaits you! šŸ’«[/h2]

Free Content Update For Base Game & Supporter Edition! šŸ’Æ

Hey Innkeepers!


We've been listening to your wishes and now they're here – the new trinket features! šŸ¤ One of the most highly requested and anticipated features was giving the trinkets more attention when receiving them. It's amazing that you all enjoyed them so much that you wanted a closer look. šŸ‘€

We've thought about it for a while and decided to do this in two different ways. Firstly, when the patrons gift their trinkets to the innkeeper we are zooming in on them to celebrate the moment. This will also give you a good sense of what changed in your tavern. ✨



Secondly, we've added a gallery where you can marvel at all the trinkets you've collected throughout the game. Moreover, every trinket comes with a note about which quest you obtained it from. šŸ“œ



We hope these additions cater to your collector's soul! Do you know what's best about it? You won't have to play through the game again. Any trinkets held in your save file will automatically appear in the gallery so head over there and browse through your collection of legendary and mysterious gifts of your patrons. And maybe you want to start filling in the blanks – the gallery will tell you which trinkets are still waiting for you to find them. šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø

Already feeling the itch to set out and explore other branches of the plot? Trust us, this is where the Fast-Forward button will come in real handy. Here is how you activate it.

If you need any visual help on how the new trinket feature is implemented into the game, here is a little video I made for you!

MOAR Content for the Supporter Upgrade šŸ’Ŗ


The Supporter Edition Upgrade has been of our DLC catalog since October. It's a great way to offer our supportive community some extra spice. šŸ”„ And since you all supported us so incredibly through your reviews, discussion topics, and being active on our Discord, we wanted to give something back and decided to stack up the content in this special DLC! šŸ’Æ



From today on the Supporter Edition Upgrade DLC now contains 10 wallpapers for your desktop and mobile device (that's an additional eight wallpapers), a digital map of Asteria, and instructions to unlock the secret alternative costume for Fable!

Here's a shot of what it looks like: šŸ’ƒ



If you already own the Supporter Edition Upgrade we'd love to say thank you for making that extra stretch to support us as an indie studio! We highly appreciate it. šŸ’œ

The content of your DLC should update automatically and make all of the above directly available. If you have trouble accessing anything, please reach out to us in the community discussions! šŸ’Ŗ

Roadmap Update šŸ“




Since we started out on this journey our little tavern game has constantly grown and improved. Today, we are checking off the last item on our roadmap for now, but we are far from finished. Thanks to the suggestions & feedback from your reviews and discussions we're discussing how we can create even more enthralling experiences with the new games we're already working on (expect a major announcement to drop in Q2 2025 and sign up to our newsletter to stay in the full loop) so keep the suggestions coming! 🄰

Lastly, we may or may not have another update for this game in the works we're super eggcited about so keep your eyes peeled! 🄚 šŸ‘€

Stay tuned, and as always please consider leaving a review! It helps us make more wonderful games like Tavern Talk.
