Hey, tavern keepers!
During Gamescom, we released a preview version of the Item Workshop, a level in Tavern Keeper where you can fully dedicate your time and creativity to design your own decorations. To celebrate, we held the first public Design Challenge! Here are the winners that will be added to the game:
First Category: Decorated Small Table, using up to 150 gold
Lumber Chic, by löyly - Code TKC-a3f456c6
Rustic and elegant, the Lumber Chic small table truly brings a refined touch to your tavern at a small price - only 74 gold! According to löyly, no old-growth forest was harmed by making this furniture.
Sustainability Setting, by Rymanora - Code TKC-06985169
With table legs made of actual leg bones, Rymanora went all in the reuse and recycle mindset for this one. At 136 gold, our good skeleton friend Cuthbert definitely approves!
Makeshift Table, by Zoragna - Code TKC-3a8e50ae
The final winner is a table made of everyday tavern things: some barrels, buckets as seats, and pillows, to make it comfy! For 147 gold, Zoragna made this design stand out by using unusual pieces to create their own small table.
Second Category: Standalone decoration, no gold limit
Travel Info, by whimsicalowl54 - Code TKC-14038fe2
The perfect decoration for any tavern for adventurers! The details on each tiny card, teasing hiking guides, musicals, and wine-tasting events, really make you imagine yourself picking the perfect activity for your trip. At 396 gold, whimsicalowl54 showed their love for fantasy worlds!
Skeleton King, by Cem - Code TKC-a7c83624
A king from ancient times, when the people of Tavern Keeper still had upper arms. We can see Cem put a lot of care into this design, moving the parts of the skeleton to sit on the pillow, and the arrow through the chest gives this decoration a nice finishing touch. It comes at 68 gold.
Makeshift Storage, by Nox - Code TKC-034810bf
For 136 gold pieces, Nox’s design gives your tavern a special place to keep some spices, potions and even leeches! We can definitely see this decoration at home in a storeroom or in the kitchen, giving the tavern a comfy mood.
You’ll be able to see these designs on the stage located in the Item Workshop the next time it goes live and they’ll be added to the demo to be unlocked during your playthrough. And of course, you can already import them to your tavern by copying the share codes above and pasting them into the “Import” menu.
🎉 Congratulations to all the winners 🎉
A MASSIVE thank you to each one who participated in this challenge! We LOVED seeing the different concepts and ideas shared, from more modern-inspired designs to movie references and even creations that had their own storytelling.
If you didn’t win this time or couldn’t join, worry not, tavern keeper! The Item Workshop will be back in October and there will be plenty of Design Challenges in the future.
Much love!
