  TavernHold Is OUT NOW!

  Hello everyone,We’re excited to finally say this: Tavernhold is out now on Steam!Build by day. Defend by night. That’s the core of Tavernhold, and everything revolves around it.Watch Launch Trailer on Youtube🌓 During the day, you expand your inn, serve customers, gather resources, and prepare your defenses. When night falls, the undead arrive, and your preparation is put to the test.🧱 Defenses are placed freely. Every run lets you shape a different battlefield, experiment with layouts, and discover what holds the line, and what fails when things go wrong.🃏 Each day also brings a new bonus card. These change how you play, sometimes pushing you into bold decisions. A strong wood bonus might mean rushing expansion, while another card might force you to rethink your entire plan.🎯 When night comes, you take direct control. Craft special ballista arrows and man the ballista yourself, choosing the right moment to slow, shatter, or wipe out the horde.Thank you to everyone who played the demo, shared feedback, and helped shape the game. We can’t wait to see how you build your tavern, and how long you can keep it standing. Good luck, and don’t let the gate fall.-Tolga and Hasan

  Devlog #3: You Spoke, We Listened — What’s Next for TavernHold!

  Greetings, Innkeepers and Defenders!Steam Next Fest has come to an end, and we're absolutely blown away by your response! Over 1,600 unique players experienced our demo during the festival week. Watching you all manage your inns, defend against undead hordes, and discover creative strategies has been incredible. While you enjoy the game, these are what we prepared in the meantime.🛠️ Quality of Life ImprovementsThe Tab View SystemOne of the most requested features is now cooking in development! Managing workers across multiple buildings was getting chaotic, so we're introducing the Tab View System:See all worker assignments at a glance - No more clicking through every building to find idle workersReassign workers instantly - Easily assign workers between tasks without closing menusThe Save SystemNo more losing progress. Simple.Performance ImprovementsLots of players experienced low frame rates. We spent a good amount of time optimizing TavernHold under the hood, and the difference is significant. The game now runs much smoothly on a wider range of PCs.Improved Night FeelingWe realized that special arrows and traps are not that effective and expensive.Spike trap now deals damage and has more healthSpecial arrows are now cheaper and have more AOE. 🎮 The Future of TavernHold- Major Features Coming🏗️ Free Defense PlacementInstead of fixed positions, you'll be able to:Create defensive lanes with strategic barricade placementPosition towers anywhere on the battlefield (Yes, even in the middle of everything!)Set explosive barrel traps activated when hit by ballista arrowsDesign kill zones by placing all of the available buildings in harmony.Your creativity is the only limit to your defensive strategy!🏰 Specialized Tower UpgradesOne tower type isn't enough for the challenges ahead.

  Devlog #1: From Prototype to Playable - TavernHold's Journey Begins! 🏰

  Greetings, future innkeepers!We're thrilled to finally share TavernHold with the world! After months of late nights and countless iterations, our Steam page is live, and we couldn't be more excited to start this journey with you.Who We AreWe're a tiny team of two developers working on what started as a passion project and has grown into something we believe is truly special. One of us is diving in full-time while the other juggles part-time development alongside other commitments. It's been challenging, but seeing TavernHold come to life makes every obstacle worth it.What Makes TavernHold Different?While there are excellent games in both the tower defense and management genres, we noticed a gap - what if managing your economy wasn't just about funding defenses, but about running a living, breathing business that happens to be under siege every night?In TavernHold, you're not just placing towers and watching enemies march. You're:Serving hungry travelers during the day, managing tables and rooms like a real innkeeperAssigning workers to gather resources, build defenses, or craft items - every decision mattersDesperately scrambling to repair your inn after last night's attack while new guests arrive expecting serviceManually controlling a ballista tower when things get intense (because sometimes you need that personal touch!)This creates a unique tension where success in one phase directly impacts the other. Neglect your customers? No gold for defenses. Focus only on combat? Your inn falls apart, and travelers stop coming.What's Coming Next 🔨We're hard at work on our next major update, which will add depth to the strategic layer:Tech Tree SystemLevel up your tables and rooms to serve premium customersUpgrade resource generators for better efficiencyEnable crafting arrowUnlock the ability to repair your base (yes, permanent consequences are coming!)Crafting TableAssign workers to craft specialized arrows (explosive, slowing)Strategic resource allocation - do you craft ...
