Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing well! I know we have been quiet for a while as we are working hard on a number of things.
That’s why today we wanted to give you a BIG update on something new and exciting we want to try – our new behind-the-scenes community program called Greenheart Games Club – an update on our second game Tavern Keeper, and a quick word about Game Dev Tycoon. So, hold onto your seats and here we go 🙂
Launching today: Greenheart Games Club
I know that a lot of you appreciate that we don’t spam you with emails every two weeks while others would really appreciate more frequent updates. We have struggled with this conundrum for a while now. Newsletters, social media and other channels are great for sharing images, snapshots and updates but they aren’t ideal for building the type of close community we’d like to foster around the game. That’s why we decided to try something new:
We want to give you the chance to get closer to the development of Tavern Keeper. That means showing you in-progress stuff, asking your opinions, regularly recording behind-the-scenes podcasts and having a new platform for discussions through the Greenheart Games Club.
For anyone interested in becoming a part of our Greenheart Games Club, we have already prepared some cool things like the first episode of the Greenheart Games podcast called Greencast. If you join, you’ll also be one of the first on our official Discord server and there’s plenty more to come. Check out our Patreon page with more launch offers here: https://patreon.com/greenheartgames.
For those of you who don’t want to join the Patreon: No worries, we know it’s not for everyone and we’ll have more news and content for you down the line as we think the Club will have long-term benefits for everyone.
Status update: Tavern Keeper
As many of you probably know we have been working relentlessly on our second game, Tavern Keeper.
While the game is not ready yet (as things stand we are probably looking at a release next year) we are proud to say: we are making good progress! We just need to focus on getting the game right and keeping everyone on the team sane, instead of rushing the game towards an unrealistic finish line.
As for today, we wanted to share this new little gif with you to make the time waiting for the game feel that little bit shorter. We will have more updates about the game – as well as our struggles and challenges – for our Club members from now on.
For all our other fans we will of course keep sending updates about big developments your way too. So, thanks for your patience!
Happenings around Game Dev Tycoon
Last year, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of Game Dev Tycoon as well as documented our mobile launch (iOS and Android). Naturally, we are focusing on the development of Tavern Keeper right now but we still have a few surprises planned around Game Dev Tycoon. Stay tuned!
Thanks for reading!
That’s all for now. Thanks so much for all the support and we hope to see some of you in the Greenheart Games Club!
Have a great day
Patrick and the whole Greenheart Games team 💚
