Greetings, Tavernkeeps!
This week, we have a first glimpse into a few of the things planned after we launch into Early Access on the 28th, as well as a look at how our early testing will roll out. We’ll have a more in-depth roadmap to share as we go, but these are just a few of things we’re going to be working on:
*Wine cellar to age drinks
*Seasons with seasonal events and weather
*Local village
*Regular customers (story characters)
*Expansion of existing systems
*More recipes, farming, things to buy for the tavern
*More random events (like bar fights)
*Tavern expansion - new rooms, a second bar, larger tavern
*Unlock new mechanics with reputation
And much more! As you can see, the game will be growing by leaps and bounds, and the more successful it is, the more features and content we’ll be able to add. We don’t want to spoil too much yet, so we’ve held back some very fun features from this list. You’ll get to see more of them once we reveal the full roadmap. Early Access means that nothing is set in stone, so as we hear from the community, we’ll be adding or eliminating features based on your input.
Community is a critical part of this journey, and as we expand Travellers Rest, we’ll be listening to your ideas and feedback, and shaping the game along with you. We’ve heard so many great ideas and suggestions on Discord already, and we hope to see more of you join us and share your thoughts!
The team is also very excited to start internal testing with a group of you from the community in the coming days leading up to Early Access launch. We’ll be reaching out to our lucky few starting next week, and then broadening the testing pool as we move through and fix bugs from the closed testing round. If you want to throw your name into the hat for testing, stop by on Discord let us know. We can’t guarantee everyone a spot, especially if we get too many applicants, but it will help us gauge interest, and scale up testing before and during the Early Access period.
That’s all for now, but stay tuned for the next Travellers Rest Tribune!
