Release date is 16th of November + UPDATE

Release date

Release date is now officially 16th of November! I've already prepared a final list of things I want to do and once I organize it I will share the list. Besides deciding on the release date there are a few updates in the last month.

Staff stats

Biggest new update is the introduction of many more stats for staff. Each stat has a certain amount of points you can assign to it and it's your decision on which thing you want to focus when leveling up an employee. You can have a fast waitress carrying small amount of drinks or a slower one able to carry more. Waitress stats:

Walking speed while empty handed
Walking speed while carrying
Walking speed while climbing stairs
Maximum number of drinks that can be carried
Tip bonus

Bartender stats:

Walking speed while empty handed
Walking speed while carrying
Drink pouring speed
Maximum number of drinks that can be carried

Chef stats:

Walking speed
Skill for preparing desserts
Skill for preparing main courses
Skill for preparing soups

Besides stats there is a bit more control over employees. You can tell them which floor to serve so it doesn't happen that bartender from second floor serves guests on first floor and ignores guests on second floor. You can also assign priority to tasks waitress does instead of just having on/off toggles. If a task has high priority it will be done before all medium priority tasks.

Usability improvements

I got a lot of feedback that it is hard to move furniture around, specifically when you try to move multiple things at once since that was not possible. Now, you will have support to move furniture in a same way you move icons on a desktop. You can drag to select multiple props with a selection rectangle or you can hold control and click on multiple props to select or deselect them. Check out the gif below showcasing this feature!

Bonus

There is a new floor tile now!

I've started working on implementing winter which will last for a certain amount of days. During winter customers will require heating besides lights so if there is no heating close to the table, no one will sit there. There will also be a new bar serving hot drinks like tea, mulled wine or warm milk.

Plan for August

In this month I plan to start working on kitchen improvements first. There will be recipes for food and you will have to manage ingredients in a similar way you do for drinks in a bar. If you have any other suggestions of what you would like to see in the game let me know in the comments!

Design and build your own medieval tavern!

Tavern Master is a medieval tavern management game where you are in charge of building, maintaining and running your very own cozy tavern!

Buy tables and benches, fill barrels with drinks, hire staff and you are ready to serve your first customers. Make sure your employees are happy, there are enough drinks and seats for guests and soon you will be able to expand your business in various ways.

Build a kitchen and hire chefs to start serving food of all kinds. Make sure that there are enough ingredients or your customers might leave angry
Hold special events to attract special customers who have very specific food and drink requirements. They will come in the morning and stay all day
Hire musicians to attract more people to your tavern and make customers have more patience while waiting for a drink

Build your dream tavern
You will have many tools at your disposal that will help you create a perfect tavern. There are many different walls, floors, fences, stairs and furniture that will make every tavern unique. At the beginning there will not be enough gold to buy the best quality furniture but as your business grows so will the tavern! As a cherry on top, make sure to think of an amazing name for it!

Optimize the workflow
In order to attract customers you will need to have enough seats and tables with a light source close by. The surrounding area also needs to look beautiful and decorations will help with that. At one point there will be a lot of guests coming in and it is important that your staff can serve everyone before they leave angry from waiting too long. In order to do that you will have to design the space so there is an efficient way for your employees to walk in an optimized route.

Create rooms for overnight stay
Some of the guests will want to spend the night so it’s a great thing that you can create rooms with beds in your tavern! Every room will be rated with stars from 1 to 5 which will determine how much money you can earn from the guests. It’s your choice if you want to create big rooms with 5 beds or smaller rooms with expensive furniture that would make guests spend more money.

Many ways to play
There are many different possibilities in Tavern Master and there is no single best way to play. You can spend your time decorating the tavern and making it look cozy and beautiful, you can work towards maximizing revenue by adjusting seating arrangement, prices and salaries for the staff or figure out a completely new way like building only bedrooms instead of having the bar and the kitchen.
