Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker | OUT NOW!

Captain Beebug is one step away from becoming a plushie! All we need is 200 signatures on the Makeship petition to move from "wouldn't that be dope" to prototyping! Signing asks for a $2 pledge (subtracted from the final price later), and the petition is live until Oct 16, 5pm CEST. Link below! 🐝

Sneaky as we are, we've added an item to our DLC list that will make any lorekeeper's heart beat a little faster: the Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker Lorebook! 📘👀 24 pages filled with deep dives into character backgrounds, the meaning behind Asteria's zodiac signs, and so much more! Now on Steam!

As promised, the sixth and last chapter, "Home", as a thank-you from all of us to you for a successful Makeship campaign 💚

We're well into spooky season, and over on gentle-troll.itch.io, we are celebrating with 50% off our Tempest Tantrum story DLC, our Pirate Palooza costume DLC — making sure Melli and [redacted] are in style for Halloween — and, to keep up with the theme, our Come Hell or High Water D&D adventure 🏴‍☠️🎃

The final hours of the @Makeship petition are upon us — and with that, the final stretch for us to get your vote of confidence in the realisation of this most rotund bee Whether you're looking for your next plushie, wanna support us, or know someone who could use a flower-crowned bee: link below!

A quick push for all the #plushie enthusiasts among us: We're only about 2 days away from closing the petition, and we still need ~70 people throwing in their pledge to make Captain Beebug an actual little guy. Any #signalboost and share's incredibly appreciated 💚🐝 www.makeship.com/petitions/ca...

When you introduce your girlfriend to the local bee population, it goes about as well as you expected. Want your own Captain Beebug to be completely normal about? Check out our Makeship petition! www.makeship.com/petitions/ca... #criticalrole #hellobees #meme

Y'all really crushed hitting the mark for chapter 3 — less than 24h, too! But there's still a long way to go to make sure our Captain Beebug is being turned into a plush; so go share the petition, leave comments, and let's make sure we hit that 200-signature mark! www.makeship.com/petitions/ca...

Spooky season is almost upon us, and every tavern should be ready for when the haints and haunts of the world come visit. Get your jack-o'-lanterns set & dust off your vampire fangs! Don't have Tavern Talk or Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker? They're 50% and 20% off on Steam RIGHT NOW! Happy Halloween!

Somehow we thought this would take y'all a little longer. But then again, this is only ramping up, so keep up the momentum! 👀 Chapter 3 coming tomorrow! If you wanna help us get chapter 4 on the road as well, you know what to do: www.makeship.com/petitions/ca...

Continuing our #conceptart showcase, here are the first iterations of Kya — and take it from us: creating a fae character is WILD! 'cause what do you mean they could have antlers, antennae, flower crowns, hooves, fur, wings — the list goes on indefinitely. Fun creative problems to have, tho 🧚‍♀️

Ever needed a reason to bring out the red string and a cork board? Tavern Talk 2: Dreamwalker has got you covered. You've played the original Tavern Talk? Bring more re string. Much more. Still more. Yes, that's enough. 👀 -... want to get featured as well? Write a review for Dreamwalker on Steam!

Look, sometimes you all start a thing, and we have no other choice but to agree. How else did the croissant joke make its way into Rune's repertoire? So, to commemorate this community effort: have some Quaissant! 🥐

Time to unpack some more #conceptart for you all! Of course, our characters also go through a lot of iterations before we’re happy with their design. These are the first concepts of Cain... And what can I say: he definitely gained a lot of muscle mass since then. Beefy boy. Short King Beef. 💪

Some fanart I made of Fable from the game Tavern Talk! I really like their character and design ✨ #fanart #taverntalk #characters #art #digitalart

Alright, audience participation time! If you were to make a quest for the quest board-... what would it be about? 👀 Feel free to screenshot or download—whichever suits you best—and pen your own fantastical adventures! Bonus points for little sketches!

A big part of developing a game is hunting all the bugs down, so that you all have the smoothest possible experience. Sometimes it’s certain text bubbles not loading, and sometimes... well, sometimes it’s just a very intense dawn 🔆 #indie #dev #bugs #visualnovel

We're closing the familiar section off with our most obscure familiar. Are they alive? Are they made of plastic? Who's to say, and who cares! Meet Fishimy, the famous singing fish on the wall of the Drowsy Dragon. A certain Vila from the Dreamplane is absolutely obsessed with him. The taxman, too!

@akuparagames.bsky.social is currently celebrating their 10th anniversary!! ✨ From all of us at Gentle Troll, happy anniversary, and to many more years of bringing wonder and whimsy to the world!

Here they are together—all the drinks we came up with for Dreamwalker! ✨ Any that you are most excited to serve to your customers? And which one would you shamelessly mix for yourself? And why is it Crafted Loves all year round? 👀 #fyp #dnd #ttrpg #visualnovel #gamedev

Here's one who could definitely use a wake-up call when September ends! Meet Aurawra (or Renu iykyk)! A small critter that was saved by your local hero and perpetual rain cloud Delphi. They like long naps and head scratches. Apparently, they also got a mean slap? Best not to try, really
