Tavern Talk News

Dear Innkeepers,

Since our Halloween update received so much amazing feedback and you seem to have genuinely enjoyed it, we thought we'd do another! ☃️

We present to you the Wayfarer's Inn X-mas decoration! To make everything more festive we now have this new tavern background that even brings you a little Snow-Enby. 💜

Isn't it all so very cute?

But that's not all, we also have some bug fixes for you!

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• When your autosaves & the save of "read dialogs" get corrupted it won't break the game anymore. 👾
  
• Fixed Melina dialog in the DLC 🗨️
  
• Fixed smaller text issues in the DLC 🗒️
  

It's Steam Autumn Sale and this means - DISCOUNTS! If you’ve been waiting for a special deal to grab Tavern Talk or any of the goodies you've missed so far, now is a good time since we have a 20% discount on the main game and most DLC – and some super juicy bundles if you care about awesome extra stuff.

Our Innkeep Bundle is now almost at a 35% discount giving you the DLC, Lorebook, and OST and you can save up to an amazing 40% on our new and epic Pen & Paper Edition, which has the P&P One Shot and the Battlemaps on top!

Also, there is a Supporter DLC if you want to give us some extra hugs! 🫶

Ever considered making Tavern Talk or one of the many bundles a perfect present for this time of the year? 🎁

Hello my Innkeepers 🍻

We have a special quest for you all — the Steam Awards are just around the corner and we need your help! 🔥
You can vote to get Tavern Talk into the nomination of this year's Steam Awards. 🏆

We are currently aiming for the "Sit Back and Relax" category. 🫶
Since we had a hard time deciding which category would suit Tavern Talk best we asked you, our community, on Discord and social media!

And the community had a clear answer for us, Tavern Talk is the perfect game to just sit back & relax. 💜

Your continued support has brought us so far and we are eternally grateful. 💯 With a small vote you can get us even further giving our cozy game a chance to win a cozy prize! 🥰



We also want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you. This year has been crazy, we published Tavern Talk, so many external DLC, Tempest Tantrum and improved the game and us along the way.

All of this is possible because of you! Each and every one of you! Your enthusiasm, feedback, and shared experiences filled our tavern with love and happiness.

Your support keeps our quest going and by that we're creating memorable experiences for all.

Cheers,
Tommy 💜

Dear Innkeeper, welcome back!

We are happy to announce that our first Story DLC: Tempest Tantrum has just been released! 🔥

🧝 New Character: Oleander Verifina (the brother of Fable)
🐉 New Familiar: Dindi

⏱️ About 3+ hours of additional content: With branching narratives & multiple endings.

[h3]Click here & check out Tempest Tantrum right now! ↗️[/h3]
But that is not all, we have a special bundle prepared for you:



If you already own the main game you can get the DLC through the bundle for 10% off. If you haven’t purchased Tavern Talk, yet, you get a whopping 24% discount on both, the base game and Tempest Tantrum when buying the bundle. 🥰

[h3]Click here to get to the bundle! ↗️[/h3]
The whole team hopes you enjoy this new adventure in our universe of Asteria! And please consider leaving a review! We enjoy reading them and it helps us improve the game. 💜

The roadmap for November is also almost complete and our Kickstarter campaign, which lets you grab some stickers of our iconic Tavern Talk characters, is running until November 22nd!



Stay safe and have fun,
Tommy

Dear Innkeepers,

With our newest feature to the game you can bring your community into the Wayfarer's Inn! - Introducing Twitch Integration. We love how creative and wholesome content creators all over the world are! Seeing them and their community gave us the idea - let's have the chat decide what comes next.

The Twitch integration is only supported on Mac and Windows, not on Steam Deck. Since it is the first time we've implemented a feature like this we all hope you'll be patient with the process, if something doesn't work right away or needs to be changed.

But how does it work? We have a step-by-step instruction for you, but also if you need a more visual guide, here you go:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]How to use the Twitch Integration[/h2]

1. Go into your in-game settings.
   
   
   
   
2. The tab on the far right shows a Twitch-Icon open it & click Authenticate. This will open a webpage, first asking you to enter a device code. This code should already be set.
   
   
   
   
3. After that you should be redirected to a page where you authorize the application to use your account to read the Twitch chat.
   
   
   
   
4. Back in the game settings you should be authenticated and the user and channel name should be filled.
   
   
   
   
5. User and channel names should be right in most cases, but if not you can edit them. In most cases both user name and channel name should be the same.
   
   
6. The last thing is to connect with Twitch chat by pressing the connect button. This last step needs to be repeated everytime you launch Tavern Talk!
   
   

Now your community can vote whenever you have to make a decision or a quest drink. You just have to press the play button and each viewer gets one vote on the option.



[h3]What viewers can do:[/h3]

• Vote on specific dialog answers by writing 1, 2 or 3 in the chat 🗨️
  
• Vote on quest drinks by writing 1 or 2 in the chat 🍸
  
• Pet Andu via the command !pet andu 🥰
  

And that's all of it! We can't wait to see more streams and the funny situations that are coming with it!

We also have some bug fixes for you!

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• Quest creation breaks when switching between mouse & controller
  
• Visual and Audio fixes
  
• You can access the Sticker Kickstarter out of the load game screen with a controller
  
• Drink Mixing Infusion Outlines stay in place when playing with a controller
  

Our Story DLC: Tempest Tantrum is coming closer and closer! Mark the date in your calender - November 12th!

But that's not all! Currently, we have our Sticker Collection Kickstarter running and we already made 500% over the goal! 💯If you want to grab some high-quality stickers and the first Tavern Talk Merch, then this is your chance!

[h2]🥳 Time to party! 🥳[/h2]

To celebrate our upcoming DLC Release we decided to kick off our first 20% discount. Our biggest discount yet also includes all of the current DLCs we have for Tavern Talk! If you weren't sure on getting the game, the Pen & Paper One Shot, the Battle Maps, the Soundtrack, the Major Arcana Tarot Cards or even the Lorebook, then this is your chance. 🌟 (it's also an excellent gift for a friend who loves Visual Novels 👀)

Speaking of the Lorebook, we've got some news on that front!

[h2]📖 Lorebook upgrade 📖[/h2]



We wanted to give back more to the community & upgraded the Lorebook by a whopping 14 pages covering all original Tavern Talk characters - including our latest addition to the cast, Oleander Verifina starring in our upcoming story DLC, Tavern Talk: Tempest Tantrum. 📗

Just to give you a little sneak peek if you want to know even more! 🥰 But beware, this can also contain spoilers if you haven't finished the base game yet or want to go in blind into the DLC! ✨

And if you are looking for more great deals and fantastic music, take a look at the current Steam event that Tavern Talk is lucky to be a part of. 💜

[h2] 🎵 Save & Sound! 🎵[/h2]
