Dear Innkeepers and Crossroads Inn enthusiasts, We are truly humbled by the journey we've shared with you in the creation and development of Crossroads Inn.

It began as a spark of an idea over a pint of beer among friends, imagining what it would be like to pivot the traditional RPG scenario, making the inn the bustling hub of action, rather than a temporary refuge. From the initial concept to our Kickstarter campaign, the full game release, Anniversary Edition, and Season Pass, we've been dedicated to relentless improvement and innovation, striving to overcome both minor bugs and complex coding challenges. Through this journey, we've stretched the capabilities of our development engine to their very limits, which has facilitated the many updates and enhancements you've seen. You can find a record of these updates here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/867290/view/3326486390755132161 We've now reached a point where we've maximized the potential of our current development engine. Despite our best efforts, some bugs have proven resistant to our attempts to rectify them, and we understand that this may not have lived up to some players' expectations. We want you to know that we've given it our all.
Given the constraints of our current development engine, we've made the difficult decision to halt further development of Crossroads Inn on this platform. Despite this, we are immensely grateful to all of you who have supported us on this journey. Your passion and dedication have been the lifeblood of this project, and we hope that you've enjoyed the countless hours spent managing your inns and crafting unique stories. While we're concluding our current chapter, Crossroads Inn continues to be a project very close to our hearts, and we are excited about the potential for its future. We want to reassure you that the world of Crossroads Inn is far from over. Stay connected with us and our community. We've built something incredible together, and it's been an honor to share this adventure with you. We recognize that we may not have met everyone's expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologize. We value your feedback and are committed to learning from this experience to improve and grow. We deeply appreciate your understanding, support, and patience as we navigate this transition. We're confident that our future projects will continue to capture your interest and earn your trust. Our commitment to creating excellent gaming experiences remains steadfast, and we're excited to take our next steps, guided by your feedback and expectations. The recently tested Beta branch has now been integrated into the main version of the game. Thank you once again for your unwavering support. We look forward to continuing this journey together. With warm regards, The Crossroads Inn Team

Hello, beloved Innkeepers!

As some of you may already know, we are currently running a Kickstarter campaign for our board game - Crossroads Inn: The Innkeepers' Creed!

It is a different approach to the well-known fantasy universum of Crossroads Inn, full of heroes and innkeepers, with mechanics loosely based on the original video game you all love and adore.

And which we are still improving, based on your continued feedback and comments, which we are eternally grateful for!

It's a seperate venture into the medieval fantasy world of Yorevale, independent from our video game development, bug fixes and other maintenaance of the game - with a seperate, board game oriented partner who created the mechanics and translated the world of our video game into the language uderstandable to potential Innkeepers and Alewives from the offline world!

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT WE ARE ALREADY FUNDED! WE DID IT IN 37 HOURS!
Huge thanks to everyone who supported us and spread the word about the campaign.

Currently, we are aiming raise funds to keep fulfilling our Stretch Goals, offer better quality of the game or think of further improvements once the fundraiser ends! All initial Stretch Goals are funded, and we're currently planning on adding one last one!

It's been almost a full month since we launched our campaign! And now, we are at its last stretch and it's the last fundraising day!

We are counting on your support for the campaign - let's share some love! SUPPORT US HERE

[hr][/hr]

And to reiterate!

The creation of our board game does not mean the original Crossroads Inn, the video game will be abandoned, nor even overlooked. We are still full of eager to work on the video game and will make sure to deliver you the fantasy experience, now even with new offline horizons ahead of us all! The Innkeepers' Creed is the work of a different entity and our partners, Sirius Studio - an experienced team of board games aficionados, experienced in board game design and development.

Greetings Innkeepers! It has been some time since the last update for Crossroads Inn. We know you were waiting for that, and so do we to give you something more than a small, insignificant mend.

We rolled our sleeves, knuckled down, and prepared some fixes! However, taught by the previous experience, we decided to implement it throughout the BETA version. Why is that? Bearing in mind that some previous patches and fixes sometimes resulted in generating another set of snags, we want to have continuous control over the version we are working on, that could be improved ceaselessly, based on the feedback. Within this new update, we are also implementing some major corrections, with a special highlight on the Task Management - you can check it all in the following Patch Notes:

• Game no longer crashes after placing Brewery
• Save no longer crashes after placing Workbench or Meat Mincer
• Fixed bug with sound while pausing the game in campaign/sandbox mode, after selecting your workers, and unpausing afterwards
• Act 1 - Achievement sound no longer plays after loading save

• You can be certain youll get to play the game first, without having to wait for the normal retail edition.
• The exclusive Innkeepers Edition will not be available for sale outside of the campaign - you can purchase this lavish limited version of the game at an affordable price only during the crowdfunding campaign.
• Only now, players will have access to special Kingdom Cards (x10), which significantly affect the gameplay by adding new scenarios.
• New players will be able to get a unique First Player Marker in the form of a 3D Martyn Brevet figurine!
• You support a unique idea - there are few board games in which you can put on the mantle of a prospering tavern owner and a contender to the royal throne at the same time!

The hard life of an innkeeper, or a tavern, bastards, and a race for power!

Crossroads Inn: The Board Game is a strategic and economic board game that, like the digital original, will allow players to manage the development of their inn. The game takes place in the kingdom of Yorevale, where - absolutely accidentally - monarchs keep dying, and their illegitimate children have to compete with each other for influence and power. Players will take on the roles of royal bastards and try to take over the crown. To avoid a bloody civil war, a deal is made, and an honorable bet is born: whoever builds the best inn will become not only the king of local gastronomy but also the king of all of Yorevale! Support the campaign:

[hr][/hr] A little note here: So right now there are three divisions. Your PC original, the recent Xbox version, and unplugged board game. Just to remind you all, the different teams are responsible for different tasks there, so we will be still focused on fixing the snags you've reported to us.

Crossroads Inn: The Board Game is a strategic and economic board game that will allow players to manage their fantasy inns. The game takes place in the kingdom of Yorevale, where - accidentally - monarchs keep dying, and their illegitimate children have to compete with each other for influence and power. Players will take on the roles of royal bastards and try to take over the crown. To avoid a bloody civil war, a deal is made, and an honorable bet is born: whoever builds the best inn will become not only the king of local gastronomy but also the king of all of Yorevale! So put on aprons and chef's hats, grab a spatula - and get to work!
In Crossroads Inn: The Board Game players will build an inn from scratch and prepare unique meals, all to meet the expectations of guests from various social classes. It doesnt matter if its simple and folksy Distressed or sublime and capricious representatives of the nobility - everyone wants to drink and eat well. The gameplay will be based on predicting - and blocking! - the actions of the rest of the bastard siblings who run the competing taverns. The one who unscrupulously uses the gold, rumors, and weaknesses of their opponents, will win. There is room for many innkeepers in the kingdom but there can be only one king! Crossroads Inn: The Board Game offers many ways of achieving this goal. Buying new furniture, getting unique recipes and ingredients for dishes, well-trained employees - everything can help the player achieve the final victory. And if that's not enough, seductive Vedetas and silver-tongued bards will take care of the needs of even the most demanding guests. Crossroads Inn: The Board Game offers: Thrilling strategic and economic gameplay for 2-4 players! Two dishes on one plate - become the "king" of gastronomy, and at the same time... the king of Yorevale! Five different social classes of guests whose favor the players must win. Distressed, Outlaws, Travellers, Townsfolk, and Nobles - each class prefers a different type of food and interior design! "Prestige track", or the way to ones heart is through their stomach - a unique mechanic that allows you to win the game with fame and prestige points. A system of spreading negative rumors about the competition. Decide whether to slander other players politically, economically, or perhaps with the help of rumors from the Yorevale travel routes. A unique fantasy world from the original PC game - but served with a pinch of salt. Hire and fire employees; plague your opponents with an arsenal of dirty tricks.

Hello friends.

To briefly outline the state, a recent patch was released with a bunch of upgrades and a promised DLC - Booze and Liquor for owners of the season pass. And after that there was a quick hot fix, supported with your feedback and responses pointing out some snags.

Moreover, we mentioned earlier that issues regarding Act III were really tricky, required sharp cuts and, simply saying, more time to execute fixing. That was the sole reason for dividing it into two parts. [hr][/hr] More to the point. Today, time has come to announce the release of the second part, hopefully bringing you more good than before. Main focus was obviously on the Act III, however we have some additional patch notes to proclaim, related to the some general issues.

Have a look at patch notes:

• Fixed several issues regarding Act III
  • Blocked the option to switch to a different path mid-quest.
  • Fixed many broken dialogues leading to a dead end.
  • The ending of the Barons path is now fixed.
  • Fixed text not fitting in task window for many quests.
  • Fixed triggering and the content of the drunk Martyns dialogue.
  • Fixed multiple Conversation buttons present when right-clicked on Ganis.
  • Fixed multiple subtasks when partnering up with fractions.
• Fixed the issue of cutscene playback speed relating to in-game speed.
• Wells are working properly again for Sandbox and Campaign excluding Act 0.
• Fixed an issue where servants werent able to pick up dirty mugs and plates from tables.

A note: Please, be aware that this patch requires you to start a new game or load a save not older than the very end of Act II. We are aware that some issues mentioned by you are still not fixed, but we wanted to release fixed Act III as soon as possible because it was previously unplayable due to ongoing work on it. Known issues:

• Seers fraction quest - you have to right-click on Martyn and choose Conversation to talk to him and progress.
• Dishwashers do not show the number of objects they store.
• Well not working in Act 0.
• Issue of servers not serving food and drinks still does occasionally happen. During our testing, it happened once per many, many saves.

Theres no need to mention you can bring us your feedback on how the game works for you right now. We know that, even though the game is being fixed pretty often, we can count on you! Klabater team,

[ 2021-10-16 17:18:58 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello Friends, Recently, we released a series of fixes and a new DLC - Booze & Liquors in the previous patch. As it happens, it resolved some issues, but added an objectionable fuss, causing some extra bugs to appear. Thanks to your quick feedback and your vigilance we prepared a special hotfix, followed by some remarks regarding the future progress of the patches.

PATCHNOTES:

- Fixed the issue related to servants not serving food and drinks. - Fixed the issue regarding problems with placing objects on floor -1.

There are also known issues:

• Bug related to wells is still present in the game. For now, we recommend ordering water from a nearby town as we are still working on this.
• You can still experience bugs throughout the campaign due to fixes implemented in Act III, especially on older saves.
• At the moment only innkeeper class workers (starting worker in sandbox and Martyn in a campaign) can collect dirty mugs and dishes and they will only collect them if you have no clean ones in storage.

[hr][/hr] Due to a large number of changes in Act III and the way the game was originally designed, we can't promise that you'll be able to progress through the campaign on your existing saves. In order to fix all of the major issues regarding Act III, we had to completely redesign the way it works. Those changes are going through extensive testing as we speak to ensure that - hopefully - no more dead ends can be found. We do apologize for all the mess and try clean it for you. Your involvement, affection and loyalty is highly appreciated! Klabater team,

[ 2021-10-04 13:24:31 CET ] [ Original post ]

Salute friends! Today is the day we are releasing the promised patch. Yesterdays announcement prepared you for it - we mentioned some of the issues that have been faced and treated and that we are bracing ourselves for the ultimate AMA session, where youll have a chance to throw your questions at us, even those hidden deep down in your tavern cellars.

Heres the list of PATCH NOTES:

- Fixed the issue regarding too many mugs breaking. Right now only a fair amount of mugs and plates are going to break over a longer period of time compared to everything disappearing after a short while. - Fixed the issue regarding workshop items not being downloaded to the correct folder. (thanks to steam community members Rejuvenation_Man and Beata for bringing up this issue!) - Addressed issues including AI priority settings for tasks. - Fixed the issue regarding pigs in the pigsty not being fed. - Fixed wild animals not leaving the game area. - Garden functions work as expected. - Rebuilt pathing to be more dynamic. - Pets no longer parade on the main road. We have to admit, that fixing the issues regarding ACT III was a bit tricky, and we need to really have a closer look at that one. That means, we split the current patch into two parts - the list above is being released today, and the next part is expected soon. In the meantime, some players may encounter issues within Act III - which is the result of in-progress reparation. [hr][/hr] But today, despite all thats been said, theres something more, something exclusive, something which is specifically dedicated for those who want to wider their tavern immersion. According to the roadmap, weve shown you some time ago (in this UPDATE), together with the patch, we are releasing a BOOZE AND LIQUOR DLC.
Within the new DLC, youll have a chance to hire completely new characters: Moonshiners. They will focus all their efforts on making the most potent shine to help keep your customers happy and spending. And along with them, theres a new item available: Pot Still With Worm. A new addition is available for the Season Pass 2 owners, and it is the second promised DLC after the Circus one released a month ago. Thank you again for the love you give to Crossroads Inn and the hopes you have for it! Special appreciation for all of you who point out bugs, those big and those small (Rejuvenation_Man, Beata, and the rest of the users providing us with valuable feedback). Having the feedback, we are on a right track to make the game better and better. Klabater Team,

[ 2021-10-01 13:00:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Innkeepers!

As promised, the new patch is on the way! We will release it tomorrow with a set of patch notes. Among the most important changes youll find the following:

• Fixed the issue regarding too many mugs breaking. Right now only a fair amount of mugs and plates are going to break over a longer period of time compared to everything disappearing after a short while
• Fixed the issue regarding workshop items not being downloaded to the correct folder. (thanks to steam community members Rejuvenation_Man and Beata for bringing up this issue!)
• Addressed issues including AI priority settings for tasks.

But theres more, of course - one of them is addressing issues in Act III. We will let you know about the details tomorrow, as we plan to release the patch on 1st October at 1 PM CEST. [hr][/hr] Whats more, we wanted to give you a heads up that we plan an AMA session in October on Reddit! We will provide you with a link in the next few days, so prepare questions and we would be happy to answer them all, even the hardest ones! We want to make this discussion a crucial milestone in our mutual communication. So, please note down all your questions, we will try to answer them all with a strong team of devs attending! We want to address turbulent times of CI development, but also talk about Crossroads Inn 2 and Crossroads Inn: Board Game - Crossroads Inn: The Board Game campaign we will launch very soon (please follow, it is an absolute must-have for all the Delcrys fans!) Klabater Team,

[ 2021-09-30 15:02:13 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Innkeepers, Today we have another news pack for you. This time its about the upcoming events, but also a few details about the first and upcoming DLC of the Season Pass 2.

Recently we delivered to you some game-changing fixes - followed by the patches and hotfixes based on players reports and comments. Polishing was made, and you noticed another snag preventing the in-game progress, so lets begin with the first and significant announcement.

= Patch 4.0.3 =

Many of you provided us with the information that there are some errors with taking the loans in the first Act of the campaign. Thank you for this feedback - it happened that the previous fix led to another muddle, so, within tomorrows patch there comes the fix:

• Fixed an issue that could prevent the player from taking a loan in Act 1

Mostly, however, this update is to finally deliver the first content of the promised Season Pass 2. For those, who havent seen the recent update, the DLC coming tomorrow was inspired by our newest game The Amazing American Circus and its going to bring three new characters: Juggler, Clown, and Strongman to the game as well as a new item - performance stage. Read more about the upcoming DLCs and see their roadmap on the Season Pass 2 Steam card. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150380/ [hr][/hr] Last, but not least, we have two festive announcements to be made. Here we go:

= Free Weekend and -60% discount =

Those players who havent taken their steps in the land of Delcrys yet will have a special chance to build their first fantasy tavern. Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition will be available for free starting tomorrow, August 5th, up until Monday, August 9th. New players will be able to access the game free of charge and if theyll decide to spend more hours in-game they will be able to get the game with a 60% discount. The progress made during the Free Weekend will be kept. As always, thank you for your involvement. Your feedback, be it negative or positive, is a valuable source of information and gives us a hint on whats going on.

And finally, its also worth noting that the team responsible for fixing the game, utilizing your scrupulously provided feedback is mostly independent of the ones responsible for the DLCs - which results in giving you both, the continuous fixes and the promised extensions to the game.

Keep running your awesome taverns!

[ 2021-08-04 14:18:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dear Innkeepers and tavern owners,

its time to break the silence about whats happening with the Season Pass. Quite the time has passed since the first Season (before the Anniversary Edition upgrade), many speculations have arisen, and now the code of silence is no more.

We apologize for prolonging the announcement, so here you go with whats new about the Season Pass 2. Primarily it was said that the Season Pass DLCs were supposed to be of different origin. Yet to be more sound and consistent, the first two additional packages will be inspired by Klabaters upcoming games: The Amazing American Circus and Moonshine Inc.! For the Pass owners, the promised premium content awaits, including new characters, a decoration pack, and 100 new recipes (3 of which created by players during the Court Herald Celebration contest). Check out the roadmap of what selected DLC you can expect:

• The Circus DLC - August 5th, 2021!
• Booze & Liquor DLC - expected drop in September 2021
• Decoration Packs DLC - expected drop in November 2021
• Snacks and Recipes DLC - expected drop in December 2021

[hr][/hr]

The Circus DLC

And on August 5th The Amazing American Circus is coming to the Kingdom! With the newest update, you will be able to greet the new passing-by characters, Jugglers and Clowns, and with such, you can let even more entertainment into your Inn! A new set of goods will fill the taverns of Season Pass 2 owners with:

• new characters: a juggler and a clown (who operate like a well-known bard), and a strongman (who is your regular worker bouncer - but you can only hire one in your pool of workers).
• additional new item: a performance stage

The whole concept is made on the upcoming game THE AMAZING AMERICAN CIRCUS. It will arrive on September 16th and we really hope youll find it interesting as well! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860 Stay tuned for more information! We will have another set of details to be published this Thursday!

[ 2021-08-02 15:20:30 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Innkeepers!

The latest patch 4.0 was a really big deal, a gamechanger in a way, and brought so many new additions that it of course entailed few snags. Swift action was taken, mistakes corrected, and a hotfix was implemented... And then your sharp eye brought us another valuable feedback. Thats why we do not rest on our laurels.

A little longer than expected, but here it is - PATCH 4.0.2 - which brings you a pack of new corrections! Compiling and detailed tests showed recurring bugs, which had to be dealt with, hence the few days of delay. Never enough polishing. PATCHNOTES:

• Added 'watch' action for watchmen.
• Fixed vindication event after the deadline for the debt has passed. If you have a build with "0 days left" then watch out! You'll have to pay your debt as soon as you load your save.
• Criers will bring more guests to your inn.
• Fixed workers not bringing ice to larders.
• Fixed more old saves not loading properly or crashing.
• Patrons will hang around your inn for longer.
• Fixed some issues regarding importing taverns.
• Made changes to ensure that wood chopping works properly.
• Fixed cleaning dishes and tables.
• Fixed action bubbles for scoundrels.
• Fixed audio overlapping at the beginning of a sandbox.
• Made changes to the guest counter in order to properly count guests sitting outside.
• Fixed billboard physics in order to avoid guests blocking on them.

Our active and responsive community never disappoints, thats why, once again, huge thanks to you, and of course, please report, comment but most importantly have fun managing your polished taverns, so that theyll shine under the sun of Delcrys! [hr][/hr] And, now for something completely different! If you are happy with the game and you dont experience any significant problems/bugs, we have a request. Please help us raise the Steam fan scoring of the game! Lets make it the tavern simulator, unlike anything the world has ever seen. [hr][/hr]

[ 2021-07-21 12:32:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

Innkeepers of Delcrys,

Never have I seen such swift action to correct mistakes! It took all day, but here is the hotfix patch to correct some issues that caused such chaos. I sincerely thank those who posted and sent in game files. It couldn't have been done as quickly without your help! Here is what this small, yet significant, patch corrected:

• Fixed issue with attribution of the task to workers.
• Fixed bug regarding not being able to store wood collected on the map to the woodshed.
• Fixed garden patch not working.
• Animations for bathing customers are working properly again.
• Fixed display of money earned from bathing customers.
• Fixed most of the saves not loading properly.
• Fixed issue with stacking water in the barrel, causing the worker not to load the water. In case you still encounter bugs related to this issue (especially in the prologue) we recommend hiring more workers as a temporary workaround and sending over save files.

Once again, a sincere thank you for the bug reporting and save files. Also, I would like to acknowledge the very hard work the devs put into getting this compiled, tested, and ready in such a short amount of time.

Carry on, Innkeepers!

Your Court Herald, LeaPi

[ 2021-07-08 13:05:31 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dear Innkeepers of Delcrys,

It is with great pleasure that I bring you the news of Patch 4.0! This has been a long time coming. The kingdom, and I, are grateful for your patience and for sticking it out with us! All joking aside, Klabater heard you loud and clear and brought a person onboard to specifically work on correcting and improving things. A lot of time and effort went into not only the coding and compiling of the massive list of bug fixes and improvements seen below, but there were also considerable hours of play testing done prior to release. Not only by the kingdom, but also by me, your faithful Court Herald! I have said that things would get better and, dear Innkeepers, we have crawled through the moat together and are now standing on the other side. And it. Is. Better! All that being said, there are always improvements to be made and fun things to be added once the dust has settled. I have said it for months now and I say again, Delcrys is alive and well!

Lets get to it!

Patch Notes

_________ I have also received an Official Decree regarding other platforms. Now that many of the bugs have been fixed, focus will now turn to Mac and Linux to get 4.0 for them as well. This patch is the last one for Mac, Linux, and Windows 7/8 users and support for those platforms is being discontinued. A few more notes:

• You do not need to uninstall/reinstall the game for this patch to work.
• This patch does not require starting anything over. Therefore, you should have no problems playing previously saved games that were updated to 3.0.8.
• Did you know? You can skip the prologue (Act I) of the game! Check under Options>Game and check the Skip Prologue box. Not recommended for first-time players. Act I is important for learning how to play.

Whew! As with any large patch, there will be quirks. We welcome your feedback and will work quickly to resolve anything that comes up.

Your Faithful Court Herald, >LeaPi<

Bartenders and Innkeepers!

The recent release of Crossroads Inn for Xbox consoles was a massive deal for us. Many new innkeepers now have a chance to try their wits managing the tavern. At the same time, our team kept working hard on fixing another bunch of cumbersome and bulky features from the PC version. We know quite the time has passed since the last patch update, yet here we are with a new one, bringing you another pack of fixes, preventing freezing on the missions, making your interaction with pets how it should be, and much more.

PATCH NOTES:

• Trellis now works correctly.

• Animals can now be petted correctly.
• Fixed Adventurers freezing in place when going on a mission.
• Bards and Adventurers will no longer use baths.

• Innkeeper upgrades are no longer removed when progressing from Prologue to Act 1
• Workers now get the correct XP for sweeping.
• Bards no longer get stuck on the stage - Fixed issues related to paying back Loans.

Dear Innkeepers, We have some news for those playing Crossroads Inn on older Win 7 and 8.1 OS! Version 3.0.5 is now temporarily available on a separate branch for you to play on while we get more permanent solutions in place to make 3.0.6 playable for those using older OS. How to Switch Branches 1. Find Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition in Steam Library. 2. Right-click on it and choose Properties. 3. Go to the Betas tab and select old_windows from the dropdown menu. 4. Wait until the update is downloaded. It is recommended that you uninstall and reinstall the game for this switch as well.

Greetings Innkeepers!

Its another wonderful day in Delcrys and your dedicated Court Herald has been hard at work to help improve the Kingdom. Its Patch Day! This patch had been delayed because there was some additional play testing needed and I wanted to really make sure that things would flow smoothly. For the most part, many issues such as fireplaces getting too much wood or staff not knowing how to use the soap are taken care of. There is still some issue with cats but they are no longer ignored after being tamed and they still dont run away too fast. I had 3 very happy and rambunctious cats running around my test Inn. They still get into the catnip and try to run into walls now and then, but we are looking into where the catnip is coming from to get it taken care of for good. Be aware, dear Innkeepers, that if you dont pay your loans back - the banks notice again! I enjoyed the bit of grace period when the Kingdom kind of forgot about money being lent out. They pay more attention now so make sure you pay back what you borrowed. One item of note is that not all of the bugs I reported were worked on due to the cut off time. The devs need time to look at each one, find/create a solution, and have it tested. The next patch shouldnt be so long in coming. For your consideration, I give you the Patch Notes!

Patch notes:

- NPCs will no longer block themselves in the Bathroom's changing rooms - Baths no longer get filled multiple times and then never get used (part of the blocking issue) - Fixed an issue that caused a worker to not stop his current task after he was moved by The Hand - It is no longer possible to build anything outside of specified build area - Removed an empty scenario - The game will now correctly react to the player not paying back his Bank loan in time - Removed the not working "Set" button in Options - Further fixes to Soap and Dishwashers; it should now work regardless of the type of Dishwasher - Dugout storage building now appears on the Furniture list after it is unlocked - Removing a room with shift+drag method now removes the whole room, not only the floor - Fixed the contents of Media tab in the Main Menu - Fixed a crash that could occur after loading a quick save game - Fireplaces now use only the intended amount of wood I cannot thank the community enough for their help and good humor as I work toward getting things smoothed out. It has been an interesting month getting to know my fellow Innkeepers - especially on Steam and Discord!
I appreciate those who have reached out to me both in chat threads and DMs for assistance. I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate their way through Delcrys and its challenges. If I dont know the answer, I ask those who do. Stick with me, Innkeepers! Together we can take this very fun and potential-filled game to new heights! Your Faithful Court Herald,

>LeaPi<

Dear friends! We are happy to let you know that we have just launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for our fresh project, The Amazing American Circus. It has a special meaning for us, inasmuch as we are the originators of the whole idea to carry players into the world of circus from the Gilded Age of the USA.

• You will find the Kickstarter campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/klabater/the-amazing-american-circus.

All of that in the eye-pleasing, hand drawn graphic design! Add a game to your wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860/The_Amazing_American_Circus/
The Amazing American Circus is a single-player deck-building video game with resource management elements, tycoon, and exploration. If Slay the Spire! appealed to you, as well as other card games dedicated to single-player, we are sure you would love The Amazing American Circus. Hire artists, each with their own set of cards, and travel across the Gilded Age USA, meeting famous people, completing quests - and become the greatest showman on Earth! We highly encourage you to support the game! :) In The Amazing American Circus, youll build a circus empire from scratch. Flesh and blood opponents, as well as characters known from the American folklore, will stand in your way to success. Youll come across violent crimes and social inequalities. As a novice owner of a small and run-down circus, youll have to face the historical giant of this industry - P.T. Barnum. Can you defeat him?
Deliver a perfect show in a special card duel between you and the audience. Their boredom is your enemy, and your performances and tricks are the best weapons. Choose your cards wisely and try to figure out the mood of the crowd. Whats attractive in the deep South wont necessarily work in the industrialized North! The Amazing American Circus Kickstarter campaign is supported by many new game-related materials, screens and artwork! Make sure you check a new gameplay trailer: https://youtu.be/wVXT7dS7YGE KLABATER TEAM

Greetings Innkeepers, My name is LeAnn Pickard and I am thrilled to be chosen as your Herald (Community Manager) for Crossroads Inn! The opportunity to meet and connect with other people who enjoy Crossroads Inn and sim gaming in general is a dream come true and I welcome all the challenges it will bring. The opportunity to be part of a game development team will absolutely be a top 10 moment of my life! If we were to count the developers as the Kings of the kingdom, and you all as the Innkeepers that you are, I suppose that makes me your Court Herald!
I was born and raised on a small island in Southeast Alaska, in a town called Ketchikan. I grew up camping, hunting, fishing, and generally playing in the wilderness. It was a pleasantly peasant-y upbringing. I began computer gaming in the year of 1997 with games like Myst and The Sims. A magnitude of adventures through many a style of game has been played over the years, but my heart never lost its love for sim style management games. Additionally, Ive a number of years of tabletop warring through the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons. Im sure you can see why Crossroads Inn had such a strong draw for me! At this time, I have over 350 hours of innkeeping experience (thats a lot of Lager!). Ive gone through the storyline three times to earn all the achievements, mastered the Hard setting in the sandbox mode, and played all of the scenarios. Its the Innkeepers Life for me! Here are a few pictures of the largest Inn I have the pleasure of managing, at least, so far. The budget was quite generous for this one. ;)



It is my goal to not only connect with the fellow innkeepers already gathered, but to grow the community and breathe new life into it. I know there are many passionate CINN players (You are henceforth known as CINNers) out there and I will do my utmost to ensure thine voices are heard at future gatherings in the Kings Court. In other realms such as Steam and Discord, I am known as LeaPi (Discord is LeaPi#6379). You will see my comments and posts in both places, along with Facebook and other social media in the future. To get a good start, the Kingdom is to have a celebration! I would love to hear your thoughts, positive or negative, and especially see pictures of your Inns. Time to show off those skills and earn yourself some recognition and a prize! Head over to the updated Discord server to get the latest Kingdom gossip and enter to WIN: https://gleam.io/XFhkx/court-herald-celebration-giveaway. And finally the devs also prepared some improvements to the Kingdom*:

• Cats no longer run away too fast.
• Workers start fixing objects quicker.
• Furniture objects that did not have a texture removed.
• Mincer now works; Venison and Pork produce mincemeat.
• Basement stairs built on an expanded green area now work correctly.
• Finishing prologue and starting act 1 will no longer cause DLC furniture to disappear.
• Fixed the crash if the last block from any room was removed.
• Wall mounted decorations no longer disappear when expanding room on a lower level.
• In the journal, your speech skills will now update correctly.

* Windows only. Toodaloo and adieu, LeaPi

Watch the announcement teaser trailer: https://youtu.be/JYf6bnOrLI8 Check Steam Card: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860/The_Amazing_American_Circus/ The Amazing American Circus is a unique blend of a card game, tycoon, and an adventure game. Build a wandering circus, collect a strong deck of cards, gather a fantastic troupe of artists and performers, and travel across the 19th century United States! Dare to challenge the legendary P.T. Barnum and make your enterprise the most incredible show of America! "At Klabater, we are fascinated by history. We develop and publish narrative-driven games that depict vital and thought-provoking moments in life. We are currently focusing on the turbulent times of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Amazing American Circus marks a bold third chapter in our ambitious project of games that combine captivating narratives from that era with eye-catching art and compelling gameplay. The best-selling games We. The Revolution and Help Will Come Tomorrow were the first two chapters." - Said Michal Gembicki, CEO at Klabater.
The Amazing American Circus tells the story of the most iconic entertainment in American history. The USA, during the Gilded Age, is a turbulent place with serious social problems and rapid economic growth with railroads and industrialization leading the way. On the East Coast, a modern metropolis springs up, while in the west, cowboys and robber barons and farmers battle for a piece of the new American dream A new era is coming, and it may be the right moment for a traveling circus to flourish. The Amazing American Circus blends our unique artistic vision with meticulous gameplay design. said Lukasz Janczuk from Juggler Games. My Memory of Us was an important story of two kids escaping an oppressive system through varied logical puzzles. With The Amazing American Circus we want to offer an exotic world of pioneer entertainers, alongside a challenging card game and enjoyable management system.
You take the role of an impoverished owner of a traveling Circus. Through your personal and multithreaded story, The Amazing American Circus reveals mysteries behind a uniquely American form of entertainment. Deliver a perfect show in a special card duel between you and the audience. Boredom is your enemy, and your performances and tricks are your best weapons. Choose your cards wisely and try to figure out the mood of the crowd. As a traveling Circus owner, you need to look for new troupe members. During your travels, you will try to gather an exotic crew of performers, but can you deliver the best shows, win the audiences approval, or will you fail? A unique story filled with love affairs, hateful enemies, and magnificent shows with challenging audiences and quests, all of this wrapped up in a writing style that resembles the dime novels from the turn of the 20th century - that's what The Amazing American Circus offers. What The Amazing American Circus has to offer?

• Save a run-down circus, gather a troupe of performers, and dare to defy the greatest showman on earth - P.T Barnum himself.
• Enjoy an original and challenging card game. You will battle against your greatest enemies, audience boredom, and stagnation.
• Gather a group of extraordinary artists and twisted individuals, each with their own story to tell, and journey across the 19th century United States.

• 100+ real historical and legendary characters from the verge of the 19th and 20th century to encounter, such as John D. Rockefeller, Susan B. Anthony, or Nikola Tesla.
• Experience an epic soundtrack inspired by classical circus music

The Amazing American Circus will be released in 2021.

Hi all! We all know that beginnings are the hardest. When it comes to Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition we aim to lessen the burden. Firstly due to huge changes in Performance, UI, and Pathfinding but the most important factor is your feedback! Thanks to you we are able to deliver the first patch with fixes when not even 24h have passed since the release and we are still on track to provide you with more minor improvements! As a Community, your voice is the most important and your feedback is invaluable! Those changes are already available on the PC Steam version! For GOG.com, Mac OS & Linux those fixes will be implemented on Monday the 26th of October. Without further ado, here are Patch Notes 3.0.1:

• Added a possibility of turning off old DLC content in Options
• Added a possibility of reverting a change in AE that caused furniture to be assigned to specific rooms - players will be able to freely place the furniture in the rooms, one can find this in the options and it's called "Allow all objects in all Rooms"
• Horse Wagons will no longer stray off the road
• Removed gray, square background from banners and pelts

BUT WAIT! THAT IS NOT ALL! Some of our players will definitely remember the sweet voice of Alina Lesnik who recorded a song, exclusively for Crossroads Inn. You can watch the official video and listen to it here: [previewyoutube=hVKqky5oCcU;full][/previewyoutube] In the Anniversary Edition, Alina became one of the bards in the game! She is our long-time collaborator, we admire her voice, and working with her is very, very exciting. She answered a few questions about her involvement in game development, we highly encourage you to read it until the end as there is an additional surprise waiting for you (at the bottom of the page). [olist]

How do you like the game in general? When I first heard about Crossroads Inn I liked the concept very much. I loved playing The Sims when I was a kid and Crossroads Inn seemed to pick up the idea of that game, but in a much cooler medieval setting and with great storytelling. When I tested the game shortly before it was released last year, it was clear that the team was passionate about this project: The details, the designs, and the music, the game was very enjoyable so far. There were a few bugs back in the days, but the team released many patches to fix those. For now, I can't wait to check out the Anniversary Edition! It looks like it will light up those rainy autumn days a lot!

How did you feel making the song and clip? For the song Forget me not, I teamed up with composer Marcin Pukaluk. The goal was to create a game based ballad that dealt with a sad love story but also was catchy and uplifting enough to suit the atmosphere of a medieval tavern. Marcin wrote the music first and I added the lyrics afterward. I am really happy how it turned out! Filming the video for the song was a little bit tricky though! We went to my favorite forest in Germany and I had this self-made floral wreath and a sensitive white dress with me. It rained a lot between the shots and we improvised rain protection with garbage bags that covered the equipment and me. It was fun spending the day in the forest singing and dancing, I nearly felt like a forest spirit indeed

What do you think about the new bard character based on your appearance? I think it's a really cute idea and I am happy that the music is played in-game too. I bet if you would have told me last year that I would embody a bard in a video game, I would have said you're crazy! It feels really great and the team did a great job on the character I don't have such splendid moves in real life though [/olist] And now feast your eyes with the beautiful Alina's performance on a stage in Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition! [previewyoutube=ShRbtkQunpA;full][/previewyoutube] We hope you enjoy the game! Don't forget to record or screenshot some epic or funny moments ;) Team Klabater

Innkeepers! It is hard to believe, but Crossroads Inn was released nearly a year ago! It was a year of ups and downs, the emotional rollercoaster for both the fans and us, the dev team. Crossroads Inn became a very popular game, even though there are still issues requiring urgent improvement. Many mixed Steam scores confirm this state of affairs and we are fully aware of that. For better or worse we have struggled with these issues, fixing some and falling while fighting others. But today we really have a special announcement We are now gathering forces for the definitive quality battle;). A special Anniversary Edition will be released on October 22 We will share a lot of AE details in upcoming weeks, but we definitely want to finally take care of the most important and annoying problems: -->Pathfinding - no more blocking on stairs, no more horses trying to reach stables through Inns main hall;) -->Performance - We are aware that many of you still experience serious problems with performance and we want Anniversary Edition to be a game-changer here. A lot of performance-related issues will be eliminated. -->Tutorial - Crossroads Inn is not an easy game, especially for beginners. This is why we now work on a complete tutorial with images & videos to help new players jump in. Ok, you will now probably ask how we plan to handle all of this if we couldnt manage it until now. And this is of course a good question. So, knowing that and exclusively for the sake of Anniversary Edition, we have joined forces with Greg Slazinski, the Esenthel Engine creator! He will help us overcome technical obstacles we couldnt handle on our own. We are very excited to have him on board. Im really impressed with the amazing and unique job Klabater team did for Crossroads Inn in Esenthel. Im here mostly to help when it comes to final polishing and eliminating glitches here and there. This game requires some technical updates to reveal its full potential and this what both the devs and players would love to see. said Greg Slazinski, developer of the Esenthel Engine used in Crossroads Inn. So, we really hope that this is the news you wanted to hear:) Please stay tuned for more info! Klabater team

It is just the way it is, you cant keep a Tavern clean all the time with the hordes of travelers, plebs and bloody heroes who can kill dragons, but not brush their teeth or wipe their own butts.

It mixes vintage 70s California visuals and an original epic cinematic soundtrack with gameplay elements that include classic horror, investigation, stealth mechanics, and multiple endings to discover. It offers two unique gameplay modes, one that blends storytelling with stealth-action gameplay and the other (Detective Mode) that emphasizes immersive investigative storytelling. Play as San Francisco journalist Robert Hartnell. Robert receives a mysterious phone call from the serial killer Zodiac who greets him with the infamous hello, this is the Zodiac speaking.

Orbitowski is one of Poland's most important horror authors. Together with Krzysztof Grudziski, Head of Punch Punk Games, they plunged into the dark and dangerous 70s to produce an immersive and mature story.
Krzysztof Grudzinski & Lukasz Orbitowski Music for the game was created by AGIM, a restless innovator and experimenter of the Polish electronic music scene. The official soundtrack from the game will be published in Europe (digital distribution and vinyl edition) by a legendary electronic music label, Pias Recordings. The amazing soundtrack prepared by A_GIM, an acclaimed DJ, instantly sparked the interest among the Pias team. Pias will work with Klabater, the publisher of the game.

Hey Folks! Today Klabater and Mandragora Games are pleased to reveal a story gameplay trailer for the upcoming isometric survival-horror, SKYHILL: Black Mist. The game will debut on May 28th this year. SKYHILL: Black Mist is a sequel to the unique Skyhill game from 2015, in which the players task was to escape from a hotel overrun by mutants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UofpKIwH7_o SKYHILL: Black Mist, the second installment of the series, is a combination of horror and survival game. The game loosely parallels the original concept, but gameplay-wise its a revolutionary step forward. This time the developers moved from 2D to 3D, presenting the action in an isometric view. The game mechanics have been significantly enhanced with stealth elements and solutions known from metroidvania-like games, including the ability to re-explore already visited locations to find previously inaccessible items and information. An important element of the game, also improved compared to the original, is the crafting system that allows players to craft items that will help them survive in the most difficult conditions. The story in SKYHILL: Black Mist is inspired by the classic horror cinema, while also introducing mysterious and paranormal elements that we associate with such series as Stranger Things. The player cannot be sure what is true and what is an illusion. Locked in a haunted luxurious building complex owned by the mysterious corporation Skyhill Inc., he tries to understand who or what stands behind the eponymous Black Mist that turns people into mindless monsters.

We had time to significantly improve and expand the main concept; only the haunted building was left from the original game. The scale and the scope of this new adventure are incomparably greater, both in terms of gameplay solutions and due to the transition to extensive 3D locations that can be freely explored.

Sooo, you've become a respected innkeeper, and you've earned this title. Guests are satisfied and the river of cash is flowing straight into your register. The dreams of running your own inn have become reality, days are made of routine activities, you order deliveries, discipline drunks, and drill lazy employees. Everything is beautiful - but is it all there is? Is this what the rest of your life is bound to be? Once you wanted to be a hero, a warrior, an adventurer! The inn is a good business, but there must be more to life! You come up with an idea a bold one, and not entirely legal. What if you add a pinch of spice to this business? Some real emotions.

You have your finger on the pulse of the entertainment business in Delcrys, and you know that there's a new thing that excites everyone, from the common folk to the aristocracy: illegal fighting, an underground circle of brave people, who are not afraid of any risk and care not for unsightly scars and gaps in teeth. But with the underground tournaments come all kinds of suspicious types, and circulation of illegal goods, the ones that should be kept away from the wary looks of the authorities. Drugs, gambling, and mixed martial arts this will be the inn! THE PIT is the second extensive expansion for Crossroads Inn, which allows you to run illegal businesses, and gives you new options of expanding your inn - from now your granary, warehouse, guest rooms, and even the entire inn may be built underground! And what is underground is not always visible to the city authorities and guards...
IN THE PIT:

• You will build a special underground arena and organize illegal fistfights
• You will earn gold on betting - guests will bet on the results of the underground tournaments
• You'll get ingredients only available on the black market, including Griffon eggs and daer meat, to serve new exclusive dishes
• You will plant new plants: the forbidden pipe herbs and the "medicinal" plants
• You will build a smaller arena, where liquerat fights will take place
• You will install exercise equipment on which your boxers and other residents will be able to train, including a climbing pole, punching bags, and new combat mannequins
• You will install new lamps on the ceiling, allowing you to run an underground pipe herb plantation
• You will buy an alchemical table to make medicine... or drugs
• You will build a dungeon where you will put problematic guests
• Along with new earning opportunities, there are also new threats: city guard raids and confidants among guests.

The Pit is now available on Steam for $6.99. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281620/Crossroads_Inn__The_Pit/ PS. All Season Pass owners need to update their game to install the DLC! NOTE: DLC is now available only for Windows! Linux and MAC coming soon!

Innkeepers! We know that new translations and patches are the things that you like the most so... today you get both! Russian language was something that we wanted to add as soon as possible, but we wanted to be sure, that it will be on the highest possible level. Now, we are pretty sure, that loads of you will have more fun from playing Crossroads Inn! What's more, we added key combination CTRL+F2 in Main Menu, which will automatically open Editor! And the most important! We added Ranen and Kairn, 2 new Vedetas! New Features: - Added Russian language. Please make sure to let us know if you encounter any text issues! - Updated tenants. A "tenant" is a guest who is renting one of your Private Rooms. You can now train their attributes, and decide which of them should be their priority. You also need some specific equipment for training: - for Strength, Endurance and Dexterity - Training Dummy - Charisma - conversing with other guests (Vedetas can also improve it by using their special piece of furniture, a table with a mirror) - Intelligence - a Bookshelf, or any other piece of furniture that has books on it When an attribute improves, an icon will be displayed on top of your tenant. Note that if the tenant is unhappy and his basic needs are constantly being ignored, his attributes will be lowered! - Added key combination CTRL+F2, which - when used in Main Menu - will launch the Editor. We have also removed an .exe file with the Editor as we found that some players have hardware issues preventing it from working. With this key combination, there should be no more issues. - Having more than 50% influence with a faction, while having all of them unlocked, will cause the NPCs belonging to the former one to appear in your inn as potential tenants. - Added 2 new Vedetas, Ranen from Velendis, Sambria and Kairn from Salebritte, Yorevale UI: - The game will no longer occasionally prevent progress after hiring a Kitchenhand in the Tutorial. - You can now only select Repair command on objects that actually require repairs. - Deleting Stairs will now refund money. - Made it easier to place down portraits in Act 3; using CTRL should no longer be required. - A profesion of every potential tenant (adventuer, vedeta etc.) is now displayed on their info screen. - Recipes now correctly display which furniture is needed for cooking. - The game now treats Vedeta beds as normal beds, but only for Private rooms. - Tier 2 Servants are no longer bald. - Supply carts on the map now use a different icon than other, random carts. - Minor fixes to gui and icons. Miscellanious: - Cleanniness of the room is now affected by the amount of clean and dirty furniture in that room. - Changed how room Quality is calculated - cleanniness, furniture and size matter equally. - Made changes to positive and negative traits of many pieces of Furniture. - Slightly nerfed Trovin's taxes in Act 3. - Guests infected with parasites can now bring them to your tavern and infect your furniture. Make sure to contain them before they spread! Please note that this requires Pests & Puppies DLC to trigger. - Repair animation now correctly uses a hammer. - Fixed a misleading typo on crafting buttons; it is now clear when you turn it On and Off. - Fixed an issue that prevented Sambrit from dropping its price after one of the quests. - Most Fireplaces can now be used as Grills.

Dear friends! Theres a great deal of things happening around Klabater lately! Heres another very cool announcement and this one is something completely new, even for ourselves! After exploring European historical settings in We. The Revolution and Help Will Come Tomorrow (to be released late April!) we now decided to tell you a truly american tale, the one that revolves around really dark episodes of American crime history... This is the Zodiac Speaking is a dark, fact-based single player FPP adventure thriller, combining stealth & detective modes in a stylized world of California 1970s and based on the story of Zodiac, one of the most famous never-caught serial killers. Play as Robert Hartnell, a San Francisco journalist, who receives a phone call from the Zodiac, greeting him with the memorable Hello, this is the Zodiac speaking... This is the Zodiac Speaking is a thriller with elements of classic horrors, stealth mechanics, detective mode and several endings to discover. The gloomy atmosphere of the game is achieved through the original, stylized graphics and epic cinematic music. The co-author of the script to This is the Zodiac Speaking is Lukasz Orbitowski, one of the best Polish writers, laureate of the prestigious Paszporty Polityki award and nominated for the Nike award. Together with Krzysztof Grudziski, Head of Punch Punk Games, they plunged into the dark and dangerous 70s to produce an immersive and mature story. Music for the game was created by A_GIM, restless innovator and experimenter of the polish electronic scene! This is the Zodiac Speaking is being developed by Punch Punk Games, a studio already known for creating intriguing Apocalipsis game (published by Klabater, as well!) We are so happy to work with Punch Punk Games again! Our last cooperation was Apocalipsis: Harry at the End of the World, a unique medieval-inspired adventure experience. However, With This is The Zodiac Speaking we enter a completely new field. We try our best to publish games that somehow relate to human condition in general but also focus on the fate of concrete individuals. 1970s in USA was a period of radical social unrest and divisions, it is an ideal background for a compelling and mature story.
Play This is the Zodiac Speaking and:

• Discover the evidence-based story of the America's most famous never caught serial killer
• Experience the story from the perspective of a person who survived the attack of the psycho killer
• Unravel the details of the murders during psychological sessions and in detective mode
• Listen to the voices of victims and save their souls
• Discover the alternative endings
• Enjoy the atmospheric, film music
• Travel to the vintage 70's and feel the atmosphere of the past

This is the Zodiac Speaking is scheduled for 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Dear Friends! Some time ago we have let you know about Kickstarter campaign for our upcoming game, Help Will Come Tomorrow! We are so, soooo happy that so many of you decided to back this campaign on Kickstarter! As for today, more than 280 people supported us with 8,763$! That's more than 73% of our initial goal with still 14 days to go!
This is just a friendly reminder, that you can still back us, especially that now we really have a solid chance to fund this project not only 100% but even higher :) Heres a direct link to the campaign: klabater.com/HWCT_Kickstarter [previewyoutube=UeaNRGK4GDc;full][/previewyoutube] Whats more, if you decide to back Help Will Come Tomorrow on Kickstarter you may, plainly speaking, secure a game copy a bit cheaper than it will be available after the premiere! If you like our previous games like We. The Revolution, Apocalipsis or Crossroads Inn we are pretty sure that Help Will Come Tomorrow may be your thing! :) [previewyoutube=ERdxjWsiHh8;full][/previewyoutube] Please help us reach our goal and help us fund another story-driven indie game!:) Heres more information about the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1119600/Help_Will_Come_Tomorrow/ Klabater team

Hola posaderos! Since today you will be able to play Crossroads Inn in Spanish! Whats more, Adventurers quests are now even more profitable for innkeepers. Now, when you complete a given quest, they may come back with additional gold or surprising gossips! NOTE: This will work only on new quests though! Important information for our Russian and Chinese friends. We would like to thank you for all your feedback. We are now working on translations for those 2 languages, but before implementing it into the game, we need to be sure, that there will be no translation or grammar errors. But you can expect them soon! :) New Features: - Added Spanish language. Rest assured that all of the other languages that we promised are on their way too, just not yet ready! - Updated Adventurers to make sure that their missions are worth your time. After completing a quest, they will now bring either: - gold - gossips - new piece of furniture - increased influence in a nearby city - a new recipe - a "thank you" letter (which doesn't actually give you anything, but is a nice gesture!) Items obtained by the Adventurers will now also have new icons. UI: - Fixed an issue that prevented storage capacity information from showing up. - Recipe sale statistics will now update correctly. - Selling a floor will no longer prevent building a new floor in that spot. - Information about lore updates in the campaign will appear correctly. - Deleting an item in a window will instantly remove it from the game. - When you send someone to perform a task on the map, their portrait will be used as a location indicator. - Small tweaks to the GUI.

[ 2020-03-04 18:01:23 CET ] [ Original post ]

Today's update brings the long-awaited fixes to Stairs, QoL features and UI improvements. Read on! AI: - Workers and guests will no longer fall and get stuck under Stairs. - Goods will now be correctly carried upstairs and downstairs; if dropped for any reason, they will be instantly picked up. If your workers are required to make a very sharp turn after getting off the stairs, and your game speed is set to Fast, occasionally they will look like they're stuck. However, that is not the case: they will start moving on their own after a few seconds. Rest assured that this behaviour is only temporary and more fixes are coming soon! - Slightly increased the walking speed of workers who are carrying goods, and all NPCs that are sick or drunk. - Workers and guests will no longer get stuck in Outhouses. - Lack of things to do will no longer cause workers to become so confused that they get stuck near a Counter. UI: - Garden Patch and Trellis received a new action icon, which can be used to toggle auto-planting On and Off. - Removing a Gambling Table will no longer leave the Dice floating on the spot. - Statistics of sold dishes will no longer persist between Sandbox games. - Sambrink now has correct ingredient icons displayed. - Resources needed as fuel (wood, candles, water etc) will be displayed properly in object window. - Some GUI windows were re-designed to be more clear for the player. - A Campaign quest about unlocking a new social group will now correctly display its text. We would also like to use this opportunity to address a common misconception: the importance of FPS. At the moment, the game's engine is very sensitive to low FPS values. Playing on configurations that are too weak for the game can cause issues with pathing and AI behaviour. This is especially visible on Mac configurations, and when using Fast mode during gameplay. While we work on improvements to stability, please make sure that your software configuration allows the game to run smoothly at least on Low graphical settings.

During last weeks, our team focused on rebalance of the social groups and their preferences, which was the thing that we were thinking of almost since the release of the game. What's more, we made adjustments to Shifts. Your workers will now follow them correctly! New Features: - We have rebalanced social groups and their preferences, as follows: Townsfolk - they hate foreign country decor, but love their own country decor, for all rooms. Nobles - they don't trust low prices, but they don't mind high prices. Travelers - they want to rent Guest Rooms more often. They will be very disappointed if the tavern does not have a Guest Room. Outlaws - they don't care if the tavern is clean or not, they just want low prices and drinks. This social group is the most likely to steal, smoke pipes and cause fights. Distressed - they don't feel good in fancy rooms. Following these guidelines should help with quests that require a certain amount of influence for a faction. - You can now permit or disable access to rooms for each worker separately on the Room Info screen. This only works for tasks: don't be surprised if your servant enters a room to chat or get some Gossips! UI: - Outline option will no longer reset after loading a save. - Cost reduction upgrades will now correctly display the current price. - Interaction with destroyed objects will no longer be disabled after loading a game. They can now be repaired or sold without issues. AI: - Made adjustments to Shifts; workers will now follow them correctly. - Workers now require less space to perform their cleaning duties in a small room; however, note that it is still possible to make the room too small and cramped for cleaning. - Updates to Dogs AI - they will now scare off pests more efficiently. Miscellanious: - Greatly reduced the amount of Fame needed before guests start using Guest Rooms. - Fixed an issue that could block Adventurer's quests if the game is saved and loaded during the Adventurer's transition to the Map. - Goods will now be placed correctly on Pallete's current position, instead of its previous location. - "Rug" item will now correctly display its texture. - A perk responsible for reducing Gossip cost of Trade Routes will now work correctly. - A perk responsible for unlocking more land will now work correctly. - Fixed some stability issues thanks to crashing saved games provided by the community.

It's getting dark in Delcrys! Day of the Moon has come! Decorate your inn with new lanterns, marble statues and hire as much Vedetas as possible. Let the celebration begin! New Features: - Added a new Day of the Moon scenario, available in-game in the Scenarios menu. This update also adds 5 new Lanterns and 7 Statues, which can be used as decoration. UI: - Fixed wording typos in Crate items. Added Storage tab for Crate II item. - A Bug icon will now disappear from the bed after cleaning. AI: - Reduced the rate of triggering worker chats. This will prevent them from locking guests in very long chatting loops. - Fixed an issue that could sometimes prevent wild dogs from becoming Tame after petting triggers. Please note that petting is still not a 100% chance to tame observe log entries to see if it was successfull or not. - Guests will no longer stop moving permanently after ignored by a Vedeta. Miscellanious: - Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when a sick worker tried curing himself.

Innkeepers! Patch 2.3.2 is live! Your Servants have now improved their efficiency! They can now carry more than one dish at the same time. What's more we re-worked Pallete! Check out what's changed in the game! New Features: - Re-worked Pallete. It now has limited space available for new goods; this will prevent deliveries spawning in unintended spots. If all of the player's pallete's are full (with the limit being 3), goods will be delivered to the front of the tavern. UI: - Fixed World Map interactions for Cille, Tzabahar, Homruz and Ragosa cities. Cille is however a special case and will require a restart (this does not block a full map unlock). - Added tooltips for icons displayed when spending Political Gossip in a city. AI: - Improved the efficiency of Servants. They can now carry more than one dish at the same time. This behaviour will trigger for nearby guests that aren't currently being served by another Servant. - Adventurers looking for a room to rent will no longer approach Locked Counters. Miscellanious: - Fixed na issue that could cause the tavern to disappear after loading a game. - Gardening patch will no longer lose full soil quality after one planting; instead, it will only lose half.

Innkeepers! Before the Crossroads Inn premiere we released a Road Map with all planned DLC, Add-ons and events. On 5th of December, we updated it by adding new DLC - "The Tax Collector", announcements of new translations and console editions. Our plan was to add French and Spainish version in Q1, Russian in Q2 and another one in Q3. Since the begging of the year our team, except fixing the bugs, focused on those translations. First effect of their job can be found in the game. On 28th of January, just before the DLC premiere, we've added French language to the game! Now, we would like to announce that in March two new translations will arrive! In about a month Russian and Spanish language will appear in the game! What's more, we started working on Chinese translation! Right now, we can't give you the exact date of arrive, but expect it to be in Q2/Q3 2020!

Innkeepers! Patch 2.3.1 is live! From now, you can skip the Prologue of the campaign! If you don't want to play the tutorial, just check the checkbox "Skip Prologue" in options and you will jump directly to the Act 1. What's more, now your food and drinks won't get stuck in the Counter and you will be able to switch it for bigger one! See what's more have changed: New Features - Added Skip Prologue checkbox to Options. It allows skipping the Prologue part of the Campaign and starting directly from Act 1 instead. UI - Clicking specific parts of the Main Menu will no longer open a Steam Subscriber Agreement. - Prepared food and drinks will no longer be stuck in the Counter after loading a save. Please note that this can still lead to graphical glitches on old saves - the items will appear to be inside a Counter, while in reality they're not. If that occurs, saving a game and loading it again will fix the display. - Stealing now has a correct graphical indicator when it doesn't work; and when it does work, loot is correctly received. - You can no longer send more than one Adventurer on a single mission; this will also resolve an issue with the Adventurers not coming back to the Tavern after a quest. - Services tab (on the Room Info screen) now works correctly, and the services can be selected or deselected by double clicking with Left Mouse Button. - Added a new Trash bin icon to every piece of Furniture that can store items, like Counter or Shelves. By using this icon, selected item will be deleted. - Removed the prompt about not having enough places to sit, as we found it was confusing and largely pointless. - Information about active DLC will now be added to the Main Menu. AI - [Act 2] Fixed an issue that could prevent interacting with the Countess while she's sleeping. - LOCK priority setting on the Counter will now prevent the workers from using it. Miscellanious - Serious Landscaping Sandbox quest now requires 15 objects to complete, down from 25. - Nudists will no longer randomly visit your Tavern... for now! - Rumours and Fame will no longer transfer between new games. - Bug Repellents will now be refilled with Herbs. - Dog bowls will now correctly be refilled with Chicken meat. - Reduced the probability of Boars appearing and wreaking havoc.

We would like to share more info about the upcoming future and plans to expand Crossroads Inn, whose production costs refunded in the first week of its sale (which is just great, THANK YOU!). The interest in our tavern simulator keeps growing, and the current wishlist amount of new interested users passed the 120,000 mark, can you believe it? We even ended up among the group of 20 top releases on Steam in October, when taking into account the revenue obtained during the first couple of weeks from its release date. Sooo currently our studio is working on previously announced expansions (+ 1 more, see the roadmap!) and porting the game to Windows Store, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch platforms. The release of console version is scheduled for 2020.
Crossroads Inn in Top Steam Releases of October 2019

PESTS, PUPPIES &... TAXES

We also confirmed our long-term goals about further development of the games universe. In the year 2020, we will share new events for the games community and additional language versions, which will expand the target audience market. There are also plans to release four free DLC and five paid expansion packs, like Pests & Puppies or Tax Collector.
First of all, in January, a first expansion called Pests & Puppies will make its debut and introduce house pets, for example dogs that guard our taverns premises, or cats, who will take care of annoying pests like rats or mice. You will be able to join forces with the animals, which will improve the process of tavern management. They will also scare intruders away! The expansion contains, among others, 5 races of dogs and 6 races of cats, which can be chosen depending on the preference of our taverns guests. Wild animals like boars or foxes will also be introduced, not to mention annoying pests like louses, which will attack the clients. For the end of the year, an expansion called Tax Collector will be released (and this is additional one we mentioned aboive), and it will focus on paying taxes and the role of a tax collector. The first couple of weeks have confirmed our assumptions, that Crossroads Inn is a game from which most of you guys expect new content and long-term development. 2020 will be key for us from the perspective of working on our universum. Other than multiple already announced expansions, we also plan to add new language versions: french and spanish during the first half of the year, and two others in third and fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, weve prepared a few technical news for our game, like Twitch integration, Steam Workshop integration, new scenarios and challenges for the innkeepers. This week, we will release a large, very anticipated update, which will enable Mac support. Soon, the developers of Crossroads Inn will add Steam Workshop integration, which will enable modding the game, and further gameplay improvements.
Updated expansion roadmap of Crossroads Inn for 2020

CONSOLE VERSION IN 2020

Klabater's porting team, together with Kraken Unleashed developers, started working on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Windows Store versions of Crossroads Inn. The game will be available on consoles in 2020. This is an answer to a common request of our players, and a possibility to enter a completely different market for our product. Im hoping that this game, which is very ambitious from the perspective of gameplay and mechanics, will be a natural choice for players who are looking for something fresh on the console market. On PC, the game did very well in the US market, and were hoping that it repeats its result on Microsoft and Nintendo consoles. said Robert Wesolowski, CEO at Klabater Our company is especially happy about large contribution from players in the USA and Germany, which confirms the pre-release assumptions and underlines the effectiveness of its marketing operations. Adding French and Spanish language versions will enable an increase in marketing activity on these territories and enablement of sales in the upcoming months. AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. In case you find it interesting, we have prepared few interesting information about the games release in October:

• TOP SELLER STEAM of October
• Every edition of the game took first place in NEW & TRENDING category on Steam in october
• Over 120 000 wishlists
• More than 4000 people watching streams from the game first place among all Steam live streams
• Averagely 680 simultaneous players for a month after the games release
• Over 300 videos and streams from the game on YT and Twitch, nearly 2 780 700 views
• More than 1100 user reviews on Steam
• Kickstarter success 40 000 USD received from 1 300 backers

Dear All! We are now nearly three weeks after Crossroads Inn premiere, it seems that most of the crucial bugs and crashes were already eliminated. Nevertheless, we are still improving the game, so if you still experience any problems (which is absolutely possible!), please make sure you let us now here: Steam Bug Report Thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/867290/discussions/0/1696095174290529251/ Our Discord channel: http://discord.gg/rbUvEFg We also have few announcements/requests as well:) 1.AUTO UPDATE ON STEAM: We really recommend you set auto updates for Crossroads Inn on Steam. We have learned that many players have this option switched off and they dont patch the game at all or they do this rarely. That is why some of our beloved innkeepers still experience already eliminated bugs. Current build is 2.0.4 please make sure you have updated version of Crossroads Inn before you report any bugs. It will help us to focus on really important problems. 2.DEVELOPERS RESPONSE TO BUG REPORTING: Please note that while we are trying to respond on regular basis in Monday-Friday timeframe, during weekends the response time may be longer. Sometimes we do not respond, because see below:) 3.BUG OR A FEATURE? Please make sure you check steam threads related to gameplay and in-game help as we have noticed that some of bug reports are in fact no bugs at all but rather they require creative thinking or checking in-game help. 4.ALL CHANGES/PATCHES REQUIRE GAMES RESTART yeah, without that its like it wasnt updated at all;) Please remember to restart Crossroads Inn to enjoy patched version of the game. Additional to that, we wanted to let know to our Mac supporters that we didnt forget about you we hope that very soon Crossroads Inn will be available for your devices! We just want to be sure that the game itself is fixed 100% before we launch it on Macs. Kraken Unleashed Team

Greetings Innkeepers! Thank you for all the support weve received from you during last week! You are amazing and your feedback (both positive and negative) was a great help while working on patches. The game is everyday closer and closer to what we wanted it to be from the beginning, but there is still some work to do! This time we decided to focus on a bugs you seemed to encounter most frequently lately as we want you to enjoy Crossroads Inn without annoying crashes and glitches. Please find changelog below: AI: - The workers will no longer become stuck while trying to pick up mugs and plates IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be advised that we have noticed this issue mostly occurs when the player either blocks access to the Counter, or severly limits it by leaving very little space for the workers to go through. In case of encountering a similar issue in the future, please make sure to take this into consideration - Fixed an issue that occasionally caused Bards to lock the Stage - Mugs and Plates will now be cleaned correctly in the Dishwasher - Improved pathing on and near the Pallet to prevent workers from getting stuck while trying to pick up goods - An Oven will no longer spawn massive amounts of Bread constantly - Alestro will no longer be blocked in a loop while trying to save the Countess UI: - Dialogue with The Seer will now correctly trigger during campaign IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that this requires loading a slightly older save, from before this objective - this is only valid for players who have a saved game exactly at this moment - Fixed incorrect number display for reputation with all factions - Progress will no longer persist between different Sandbox gameplay sessions - Ale can now be sold correctly - Fixed an issue that prevented Vedetas to use "Seduce" command after they return from a mission Miscellaneous: - Fixed an issue that prevented progress in the Campaign on "Unlock Nobles" objective - Fixed an issue that prevented Distressed reputation from increasing if the tavern was too fancy - A furniture that's on fire can no longer be moved

Dear Friends, As we promised few days ago, today we release update 2.0 for Crossroads Inn.

We hope those of you still having trouble with the game will enjoy this patch as it fixes 20+ major bugs and glitches, not to mention minor ones. Quick update to AMD graphic card users. It seems that we have finally found a solution to problems some of you encounter since release of the game. We still need testing as this is really crucial problem and we dont want to announce solution too quickly and disappoint you. Hence we decided that today we will fix all other crucial problems and next patch will be focused mostly on AMD-related blockers. Hope you will understand the reasons behind this decision.

Please lower graphic settings if this issue appears at any time. UI: - Private Rooms can now be rented after changing their name - Unticking Martyn's Collectors Edition skin will now properly remove it - Moving tables and chairs as a bundle will no longer cause the chairs to disappear - Fixed an issue that caused the game to display singular notifications (like unlocks) more than once - Fixed an issue that caused save/load to add an unintended ingredient to Garlic Bread recipe - Tooltips will no longer disappear after loading a game - Quests will now display correct rewards during conversations Miscellaneous: - Multiple stability issues have been resolved; big thanks to everyone who sent us their saves! - Fixed an issue that caused Dishwashers to be impossible to use occasionally - Adventurer missions will now correctly award recipes as rewards - Workers can now be upgraded after they hit level 10 - Candle maker, Mushroom maker and Bread Oven will now work correctly In addition to all that, get free spooky Haloween items and characters (expect the unexpected guest in your Inn folks!): Candleskull Candleskull II Coffin Ghost Grave I Grave II Pumpkins Scarecrow Pumpkin scarecrow Spiderweb I Spiderweb II Spiderweb III

Hi guys, Its Patryk here, Crossroads Inn Project Lead. Last few days were quite tough and filled with both positive and negative emotions in the same time. We started ecstatically while launching the game, seeing the hype train and your real excitement about Crossroads Inn the game sells well, there are many great streams and clips around the net, etc. But pretty soon it came clear that some things didnt go as planned. It is obvious for me as project lead that we owe an explanation and apologize to at least some of you who experienced serious issues with the game. And I want to do this in person. Im sorry that we didnt deliver the top quality on Day 1. We are small team and Crossroads Inn is our first big game. I think it may be fair to say that we were too confident about our development process and testing (especially the latter!) It seems that many gamers experienced and are still experiencing major issues with our game. I wanted to underline that we understand why many steam reviews are negative as we too understand anyone who refunded the game with feeling that it is not finished. Whats more, we treat all the negative comments as a proof of trust in us and in the games concept above all else! We hear you and each patch is getting us closer to the place where we wanted to be just after the release. Speaking of which, we are now in Terminator mode when it comes to patching the game. This means we have compelled a very detailed list of crucial bugs in the game, prioritized it internally, and now we have entered the phase of total elimination of these. You may expect a MAJOR PATCH on Wednesday. This will be a biggest patch until now and we really hope it to solve many of the most common issues. Im also fully aware that main issue still not solved is a problem with AMD cards (mostly those based on RDNA architecture) and missing texts in both menu and dialogues all related with this glitch. Unfortunately we still didnt work it out but I wanted to personally assure you that we are on a tripartite hot line with both authors of the games engine as well as AMD key programmers who are personally engaged in solving the issues. I cant promise you that AMD issue will be solved in Wednesday patch, but we do our best to make it happen ASAP. You may expect many patches coming your way but I want it to be better tested and solid, so we will probably update the game biweekly now to give our testers more time to check all the improvements. This is our responsibility and we treat it very, very seriously. We owe you that and we fully recognize this fact. So, that being said, I wanted to thank you all who willingly contributed to our game in last few days. It is priceless that some folks spent their time to talk to us and to report to us instead of just negatively review the game. We are in your debt!!! And there are so many of you who did it! Hats off to you. And to all of you who play and enjoy the game, we are also so happy to see it. At the end of this pretty long dissertation, I wanted to ask you a favour. If you have negatively reviewed our game but still waited for patches and these patches worked for you I would be eternally grateful if you consider changing the review. The game is now in much better shape and hopefully at least some of you can see it. Not to mentioned that we are working constantly to make it better! And we will. Its a promise. We are ok if you wont do this and we are ok with the refunds we dont blame anyone else than ourselves. But if you like the game and if you havent experience any serious issues you positive review would mean a world for us now. It will help to make our fight meaningful to see that you guys can finally enjoy Crossroads Inn in a shape we want it to be. Thank you for your support. Patryk Pietraszkiewicz Crossroads Inn Project Lead

Bartenders! What a night it was! Crossroads Inn debuted with a great placement on main Steam site and fantastic placement both in New and Trending and Global Top Sellers on Steam. Thank you for that! Oh, and thanks for amazing discussions late at night (our time!) during live stream (it was the most popular stream yesterday on Steam) - by the way, we are STILL playing a game for you now, just visit our Steam page! And now to REALLY IMPORTANT things! Reagrdless of this nice start, we know that some of you experienced serious problems and we want to assure you that we are now working constantly to fix any bugs and glitches you might have encountered during the game! Today you may expect at least two updates: 1. First patch will bring you Linux version and will solve some of major bugs you have encountered and reported. 2. Second patch will bring you Deustch language version and another batch of fixes. We are also in contact with AMD. As we have informed before, some cards may cause visual glitches (like font not visible and empty menus which seems to happen a lot). We work on that too! Additionaly, we see that at least some of your problems are rather not bugs but just some problems in undestanding gameplay issues - we really recommend to check "?" icon in the game to learn more about the mechanics:) Please keep reporting any bugs and glitches here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/867290/discussions/0/1696095174290529251/?ctp=2 Thank you!

Our dearest Bartenders, Innkeepers and Restaurateurs (sic!) The day has come! Crossroads Inn will be launch today on Steam! We are so, so happy, excited and thrilled! As you may imagine, last few weeks of development were really, really crazy. We are rather small dev team, so we cant afford shift work and whatnot:). Soooo, when we say all hands on deck, we mean it. Simply saying, last weeks it was all of us sitting in the studio all the time. Designers, graphic artists, programmers, PR guys and CEOs as well we have all contributed a lot of energy, ideas and time to make Crossroads Inn great game! We have clashed in hundreds of debates over mechanical, narrative and UI decisions to the very final day, because we believe theres always something to upgrade and better! But, regardless of all that, as a small studio we know our limits and we take nothing for granted We are aware that we have probably left some sloppy bugs (some of them we might even not recognized at this stage). There are few things we want to underline here to keep you updated: 1. Mac version: Apple very recently withdrew their support to OpenGL technology. This affected games performance on Macs. We are now trying to come up with proper solution and quickly release full Mac version. 2. AMD cards Some of new AMD cards (mostly those based on RDNA architecture) contain many experimental solutions which may affect the games performance We work closely with AMD to solve this potential problem now. Heres a promise to you, we will try to improve the game after the release, because our work doesnt end now by any means. Expect us to work on patches, improvements and additional content in upcoming days. We appreciate your time, your money spent on game and your feedback. While playing the game please remember that it is our first huge game and we are still learning. We are honored by your trust in our team and hopefully you will find Crossroads Inn enjoyable game that will steal you few weeks or even months! We will launch special Steam and Discord bug report threads in few hours to help you leave a note if you encounter any in-game problems. Thank you for your support and help in making our dream come true, we appreciate it! And here's our team today! Please note, some folks are not here - these fallen comrades are now sleeping on a couch nearby after maaany hours of work!:D

Beloved Inkeepers! The waiting is nearly over! We are extremely excited about the launch of Crossroads Inn tomorrow! You'll get a dozen hours of campaign mode, nearly endless sandbox mode and lots of fun creating your own unique inn! Just to sum things up, here's a schedule for tomorrow: 1. In the morning (9:00am UTC) we invite you listen & watch a new exclusive song written for Crossroads Inn by Alina Lesnik, a singer from Germany, mostly known for her metal, folk & soundtrack covers on YouTube.

[ 2019-07-18 14:43:39 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dear Innkeepers! Its time for our monthly update. Below you will find a quick recap of our work in the past month. Gameplay & code Our devs are working hard every day and we already know the names of our pizza delivery men. That really means something! Last month we have implemented such options as:

• the possibility of building multiple floors in your tavern.
  
• the option of setting work schedule for your employees.
• random events such as fires.

Apart of that we are mostly focusing right now on polishing elements that are already in the game and adding small improvements and ideas which have come along the way. Thanks to you, by the way:)

And now it's time for the big news!

Mini games in your Inn - Knife throwing!

It's the first game we have developed for your inn. How does it work? Quite simply. 1) First you will have to buy a shield for your inn.
2) Then in your inn will be appearing customers who will challenge you to a duel.
Money, special items, recipes and many other special things will be at stake. 3) Each of you will have three knives to throw in several rounds. After each round the winner will have to drink a pint of beer. This means that in the next round the picture will be rocking and your accuracy will be very impaired. It will be more and more difficult with each round, but also more and more funny! You can see it here. Thats definitely not the end of the games you will be able to play in your inn! Graphic design: Our graphic design team have been working on special characters and guests. The results are really promising. Here you can find Alstero:
And his squire:)
We also did a pretty decent job with the furniture and liquors!



PR & MARKETING We have been working on our presence on PAX WEST and Gamescom in Cologne, altough we will be there only in the business area with our publisher - Klabater. If you are a journalist, a blogger or you would to talk with us, let us know: michal.lowigus@klabater.com We have also appeared in the Polish Eurogamer with a really nice preview. Have a great weekend and let us know if you have any other questions!

[ 2019-05-31 15:14:27 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dear Innkeepers! It's time for our monthly update! Team First of all, we are really happy because our team is growing and we have some really talented colleagues on board! The graphic design team has been boosted with Mateusz and Pawe! Szczepan, the screenwriter is now supported by Kacper, who focuses on game design and Patryk, our lead programmer, can count on Darek. Apart from that, we are also hosting three great student interns who help us with sound production, game design, and graphic design! Below you can see a picture of us with the newest CD-Action, the biggest Polish gaming magazine, where you can find a big preview of Crossroads Inn.
PR & Marketing activity: We announced some weeks ago that we invite Pawe Sakowski on board - this guy had a pleasure to work on the set of Game of Thrones. Pawe will be responsible for the Polish voice over and will be present in our marketing campaign. As our ambassador and had the chance to talk about Crossroads Inn in the biggest Polish media such us: Onet or Polish National Radio. He was also present at Pyrkon convent in Poznan. As we mentioned, Crossroads Inn receives a really nice preview in CD-Action and in Hungarian PC Guru. And those previews look really cool:)

Gameplay & code Work on the game enters a crucial phase, our developers stay longer and longer after hours, which means that the crunch time is coming!:) We keep you informed about the progress of work on the #changelog channel on our Discord. You will find there all the details about our current state of work on new elements of the game and the patches we make, as well. Now, we are working on both the sandbox and the campaign, but we also pay a lot of attention to improving the bugs and features that you report to us. We hope you can see the progress:) We haven't been bragging about it before but we are developing some really cool and entertaining small games inside the tavern and we are really excited about it. :) We also have some bad news for Mac owners. Right now we need to focus all our efforts on the best possible refinement of the code on the PC and fixing bugs. If we leave some broken elements somewhere there in the code and start doing Mac, you know... neither PC or Mac will work. We are really sorry about that but it's crucial to save time and work efficiently on the code. We will be able to work on the Mac version only in a month or two. Nothing changes, the game will be available on this system 100%. So don't worry! Graphic design. Jakub Kaktus and Tomek have been working mostly on new characters in the game. Mateusz and Pawe focus on items and furniture in the game - as an innkeeper, you will choose between a great diversity of different tools and kitchen furniture.



We are working on the diversification of the furtniture as well.


Have a great day! Kraken Unleashed Team.

The first Kickstarter backers of Crossroads Inn have received their keys to the closed beta. As it is an early version of the game, it still contains bugs and a lot of features that require polishing, further work and improvements. Our backers will be able to help shape the final version of the game. We will use their opinions to improve the game, find a proper balance and develop it in a direction our community desires.

[ 2019-04-10 12:28:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

Long weeks of researching, discussing, creating and collecting the materials, designing the graphics and the videos, adjusting the pledges and then when the campaign was finally live Refreshing the Kickstarters site every 2 minutes... around the clock. Probably, if the campaign lasted longer than 30 days it would break up our families But it was totally worth it, because on the way we met you - the best backers in the world.... and it was you who made us reach the finish line happily.
Once again - we wanted to thank each of 1010 of you (so far) for being an inspiration and motivation for hustling every day harder. We couldnt expect so many ideas, brilliant questions and such commitment on your side to make this game better. We are making this game for you and your satisfaction is our ultimate goal. We are sure that this Kickstarter campaign is helping us a lot to understand your expectations and we can guarantee that during last month we've already implemented changes and new features mainly because you, as the future players of Crossroads Inn, asked us and suggested to do it. For example we decided to implement new languages, the possibility of romances between the employees or to develop the bards more widely and many more. Other suggestions we are still discussing and we will keep you updated about them! Dont forget that this is not the end of our bond! After the end of Kickstarter you will get an access to our Discord channel where you will be able to discuss all kind of topic connected with the game. Both with the developers and other members of the Crossroads Inns community!
And remember! The Kickstarter campaign is not over yet! We still have more than 3 days until the end of the campaign, during which we can still collect a lot and unlock one or more of our additional goals! The first one is: $34,000 - Scenario editor and Steam Workshop integration Achieving this goal will allow us to transfer some of our workforce to create an editor for maps and game scenarios, which will be integrated with Steam Workshop.
We still would like to ask you to spread the word about the campaign among your friends! Cheers! Kraken Unleashed Team.

Funny. While writing this update, we have just noticed that there is a big inscription centrally above our stands that is connected with the subject of our game: Its fun to get together and have something good to eat at least once a day. Thats what human life is all about enjoying things. Julia Child
I don't think we've noticed it all the time, but maybe subconsciously, for the last two years Julia Child has been watching over the creation of this game? :-) We've often said that the inspiration for creating Crossroads Inn was to look at the adventures in games and stories from the other side. Every adventure begins with a meeting of the characters with a mug of good beer and filling food. This is how we dreamt up our tavern.
And every aspiring tavern in Delcrys must respond to the various needs of its customers with offerings to satisfy the desires of both their palates and spirits. The smart pricing of drinks, dishes and services makes up only a fraction of the responsibilities of a successful inn manager. One of the biggest challenges is to obtain the unique recipes and rare ingredients necessary to serve up specialties about which legends are told throughout Delcrys many roads and byways. Ambitious innkeepers, while sitting in their bowers during breaks, dream of this secret knowledge, hoping that finally, their own menu will be enriched by the most valuable culinary goods from across the continent. We are a group of guys who are not masters of cooking, so the next, extremely important step was to find someone who would help us to reflect the atmosphere of Delcrys and the cultures living in them through food.
Anita from Nerds' Kitchen, responsible for preparing a culinary e-book based on the world of The Witcher, prepared for famous CD Projekt Red was the perfect choice.
Anita and her blog, Nerds' Kitchen, have been dealing with the influence of food and cooking and its impact on building the culture of virtual universes and immersion in the broad sense of the term for years. Anita herself says that However, well-thought-out culinary motifs that are integrated into the game and the universe itself have a huge power, thanks to which the game can rise to the next level of good game design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVTsih3WCU We don't think we could have imagined a better person to work with. That is why together we have created several dozen proposals of dishes and drinks, thanks to which each inn will be able to boast of its exceptional and unique menu. The process of creating menus and dishes in the game was a result of many factors. Inspired by the mythology of the Delcrys world, which was created by the boys from Kraken Unleashed - the culture of countries and societies inhabiting Delcrys, and what they were based on, which was also inspired by real cuisine such as European, medieval or Middle Eastern world. The next step was to match the ingredients, tastes and textures so that they fit the theme to the character of the kingdom of Delcrys.
Thanks to our efforts in the culinary aspects, the game and its universe have taken on a richer and more original dimension. At the same time, I am proud that this will be the first title on the market, in which dishes appearing are the fruit of my work as well. In addition to the mechanics aspects, we also developed 12 recipes for the legendary game dishes and included them in the "Crossroads Inn Cookbook"- Anita says.
The Crossroads Inn Cookbook will be available as an ebook in the pledge from $55 and above. Inside you will recipes for 12 unique, legendary meals such as: Cheese & Ale soup from Untermach
Dear Haunch with wild berry sauce from Yorevale
Gilded Potatoes from Sambria.
One of your main goals and ambitions in the game will be collecting all of them and serving them to guest to ensure fame and wealth to ensure fame and wealth loudly throughout the kingdom. To give you a sneak peak of the recipe awaiting in the cookbook, you can find a delicious recipe of SWEET FISH DUMPLINGS FROM BERSUHL on Nerds' Kitchen Blog!
Ps. We almost forgot! We take the creation so serious that we have even created our own beer! :-)

If you havent backed us yet, we hope you decide to!

Dear Backers! We made it! $26.000 lagged behind and we are not stopping until we get the $30.000! Thank you for the enormous trust you have placed in us! Today we want to talk a little more about the development of the game after it will be published. We are planning to keep adding extra features to the game for at least a year after the actual release. Additional content will be grouped into two categories: 1. Free Add-ons (a.k.a Assets Packs) Those will introduce new equipment, tavern objects, new meal receipes, materials and whatever it takes to run and enhance a legendary inn. 2. Paid Add-ons (a.k.a Additions) Those will contain new story-driven scenarios, new NPC's and new mechanics which will diversify the game itself e.g. illegal gamblig den! During the development of the game We had a lot of new ideas that we needed to throw away because we wouldn't be able to publish the game on time. That's why we've put them into additional content. We also want to make game alive and community engaged long after the game release. Dear Backers! It's really important to get your feedback in that matter. So please don't hesitate to comment on this update. Is there to much of this content? Or maybe to little? What kind of content would you like to see? What can we do to make it better? This is still an open subject for us so all suggestions will be taken into account!
Below you will find a sneak peak of our ideas for additional content: Dogs and cats: A DLC that gives the player the opportunity to have a dog or cat in an inn. You can have more than one pet, but their encounters end in a fight between them and possible damage to equipment/furniture. In order to keep a pet in an inn, it is necessary to have a bed or a kennel for him and to feed him regularly. A neglected animal simply leaves the inn. Animals have special functions: cats hunt rats - in the room where rats are located they never appear, while dogs bark bandits. If a dog appears in an inn with the intention of theft and encounters a dog, he barks at him and forces him to leave the inn. Officials: This DLC will introduce special characters, Officials, who will visit your Inn. Among them you will find: sanitary inspectors, tax collectors, judges, notaries and many more. Like in normal life, a visit from an official may cause you some troubles... but there is also a chance of gaining some good money or... respect! Plagues and diseases: It doesn't sound nice, right? Well, it won't be pleasant at all but... on every misfortune you can earn some good money! This DLC will introduce different diseases and mental illnesses. Both clients and your employees will be susceptible to diseases. There will be a way to cure them -with the plagues, two special characters will appear - an herbalist and a feldsher. You will get a share from their work! Bathroom: Bathroom is an additional room that can be built in your inn. Introduces for customers the possibility of taking a bath, using the sauna, massage, stained glass beating. The bath can be arranged in three different styles: Yorevale (like the Roman terma), Untermarchia (Russian bubble), Sambria (Turkish Hammam). If there is a bard in the inn, he will visit the bathhouse regularly and give his poems here. If there is a courtesan in the inn, it will also provide its services here and generate a higher income. The bathhouse gives you the opportunity to earn extra money by providing services available in it. Additionally, it reduces the number of illnesses in the inn. There must be a stove at the bathhouse. Secret Room: The "Secret Room" gives the opportunity to build an underground floor. The entrance has a hidden character (sliding wall, hidden flap, etc.). The supplement introduces the mechanics of municipal police raids. If the secret entrance is open during the visit of the guards of the law, they confiscate all equipment placed in a secret room, stick a fine and cause the loss of reputation. To increase the security of illegal business, you can make a secret exit through an underground corridor leading beyond the inn. In the secrets room you place a fighting arena, an alchemist lab or a kidnappers stash. Horseshoes and carriages: This addition introduces the stable building and the blacksmith's workshop. Thanks to this we have the possibility to receive guests with horses in the inn. These animals are another attraction of the addition. We take additional payment for taking care of the horse. There is also a possibility of accepting the carriage if the player builds a place for him. Visiting guests with the carriage is associated with a big profit. This addition also allows you to create a special box for the Griffin. Maintaining the stable requires importing or producing hay, which is stored under the wall. Here, your employees also go for a walk. At the stable we can build a blacksmith's workshop. Cowshed and pigsty: This addition makes it possible to build a barn and pigsty. The player breeds new animals: cows, sheep, goats and pigs. Each DLC will introduce special bards, vedetas and adventurers as well. In the pledge of $65 among others you will get a season pass for all the content we will be releasing. Please, keep in mind that this is just a sneak peak and you can expect much more from us!

If you havent backed us yet, we hope you decide to!

Dear Crossroads Inn backers! We have so many news to announce! 1. First of all, we have already collected more than 80% of the amount and we hope to exceed the magic threshold of $25,000 even today! We would like to thank those who have supported us so far, and those who are still wondering about it! There is not much missing and now we need you now in particular! 2. Tomorrow, 6th of March, at 7pm CET/ 1pm ET we are planning a livestream with Szczepan, Patryk and Michal - boys will talk about the process of creating a game from a scratch in a really small team. How the ideas developed and what were our inspirations.
And guess what... you are invited! We are counting on you and your questions! Apart of that we are planning some giveaways during the livestream, so save the date! 3. Last but not least. Today we would like to introduce you to a few detailed game mechanics. Remember that we are still in the process of developing Crossroads Inn so each of them can still change. Theft of a purse - The Scoundrel From the moment of employing a scoundrel, the player gains a unique opportunity to steal from customers. This is an additional opportunity to earn money and acquire special items and as long as no one catches you, you will have no problems.
Each customer has a specific number of slots. The higher the social group and the wealth of the guest, the more of them. The slots are initially covered - the player does not know what is in them. In order to unveil them, you first need to get information about the client. The Scoundrel can be supported by a Helper or a Vedeta. The content of the slots remains the same, so the whole operation can be extended in time. Getting information during one visit, stealing during the next visit.
Theft can give you measurable benefits: money, regulations, construction schemes, valuables or acts of ownership of the surrounding land, which will allow you to expand the inn more widely. The success of theft depends on the fate and level of experience of your Scoundrel. A failure results in a loss of the customer and a loss of reputation, and in some cases in the arrest of your employee by the guards of the law. The whole operation should therefore be planned very carefully. There is a lot to gain, but also a lot to lose. Outhouse You are surely wondering what will happen to all these great dishes in our game when they are digested. No surprises in this matter! That's why in our game there are outsiders.
Each of your guests may have an urgent need. There are 4 different levels in the game. The best ones give a smaller minus to the decoration of the inn, and their cleaning takes much less time. However, their price is relatively higher.
Imports of goods One of the basic elements of the Crossroads Inn is importing goods. In order to do this, the player has to find the right suppliers who will offer the best price. As the gameplay unlocks more and more locations on the map, the player gains access to new suppliers. By ordering goods you will be able to speed up transport or buy additional protection. Thanks to this, your goods will reach the inn efficiently and on time.
Once the supplier has disposed of the ordered products from his cart in front of your tavern, you must ensure that they are properly stored. Each player must have a special space for this and storage facilities. And don't forget about one important detail. These goods will not move by themselves. That's why make sure you have the right number of workers to move them!
Cooperation with an Adventurer When your inn has a good reputation, an Adventurer may appear. If you have a free private room, start a conversation with your guest as soon as possible. Then, you will have the opportunity to start a cooperation with him. His presence in the inn will give you the opportunity to unlock a board with Quests!
You can choose the right quest yourself. After issuing the command, your Adventurer sets off to execute it. The chance of success is determined by the amount of his experience and by the correct adjustment of the hero and quest parameters. The player must guess whether "Strength", "Dexterity" or "Intelligence" will be the most useful in a given task. In case of success you will earn extra money. In case of defeat, be prepared for the fact that the damaged hero will have to regenerate his health for a few days.
Bard and Vedeta services Just like an Adventurer, as you gain a reputation as an inn, there is a growing chance that a Bard or Vedeta will appear in it. These special workers also need their own chamber and if you have one, you can start cooperating with them. Each of these employees gives you specific benefits and is able to provide services appropriate to their profession - artistic performances and the provision of bodily pleasures.
Bear in mind that special workers have their own requirements. In order to maintain them you will have to meet the following from time to time!

If you havent backed us yet, we hope you decide to!

During those 10 days left anything can happen, so we decided to create extra goals for our campaign. Check out what additional elements of the game we can create with your help.
$34,000 - Scenario editor and Steam Workshop integration Achieving this goal will allow us to transfer some of our workforce to create an editor for maps and game scenarios, which will be integrated with Steam Workshop. $38,000 - Hiring a lector of our dreams Thanks to this amount we will be able to hire Brian Blessed, famous actor, as a narrator for Crossroads Inn. $42,000 - Additional tavern games: Four and a half finger, The Shutmouth, Hand to hand, Bone poker The money from this level of support will free us from other work-related responsibilities, allowing us to design unique tavern mini-games, from the world of Delcrys. $50,000 - Additional campaign - Martyns Legacy (Martyn establishes a tavern) +2-3h of gameplay Thanks to these resources, we will be able to pay for additional work, to create an individual campaign for Martyn. $80,000 - Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 ports This level of support will allow us to hire an additional programmer, who will create PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game.
