This update brings with it a pretty major overhaul of the existing game content- changing how some existing things work while fleshing out and improving other things.

• RE-WORKED MAIN STORY FLOW: We moved around the timing of certain events and sequences in order to trim off some of the fat. We're attempting to enforce a clear distinction between the linear story sequences and the free roam sequences, as well as better present the changes in the day/night cycle. We recommend resetting your save data to check out the new story flow, but don't worry- we've built a cheat code system to let you recover your gallery unlocks! See further below in the patch notes. Additionally, the main story now continues until the end of Day 6!
  
  
• BITS & BANTER: During each of the various free roam segments during the story, each tavern guest will have various things to say outside of their usual relationship building hangout sequence. Some of these are additional lore snippets, while others are tongue-and-cheek Easter Eggs. Additionally, you can now talk to characters that previously couldn't be interacted with, the Minotaur and the Bar Keeper. They don't have their own relationship levels, but they do have a bunch of things to say!
  
  
• LEWD HAPPENINGS: A smattering of lewd events/animations have been added to some of the free roam sections in the main story. Should spice up those interactions!
  
  
• COMPLETED CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS: You can now get up to the maximum rank in all of the character relationship building levels! Previously this was capped at 3, but now all 5 are available. Some existing ones have also been re-worked. At level 3 and level 5 you can choose to initiate a sex scene (which use existing animations.) Ra'yan is an exception, he's a unique case for reasons you will discover in the story's conclusion. Speaking of story conclusions, the characters you max out your relationship with will have an impacting on the conclusion of the story when that is ready in the 1.0 update. Pick your friends wisely.

• 2 NEW SEX ANIMATIONS - 2 Inge poses with 3 variants of guy each!
  
  
• NEW ANIMATED CG- The sex scene you get with Serania after the attic has been unlocked now has it's own CG! It's not animated yet, but we will be pushing up a hotfix when the animation is available (sometime this weekend hopefully.) For the time being, the still CG is in, however.

• Cheat Codes are now available- want to skip the grind and unlock everything in the gallery? We've added a handy way to easily unlock all animations- just input seraniaseesall into the cheat code box and have fun!
  
• SKIP & AUTO- two highly requested features have been added, you can now easily skip text and also you can set the text to automatically advance at a comfortable reading pace, for hands free enjoyment!

• Inge, from the Free-to-Play game, Overlewd will visit the tavern on Day 5 of the main story. In Sandbox mode, there is a 50% chance every day that Inge, Kreyton. or Bambi will spawn. What's more, Overlewd will be running a Dungeon Tavern themed event where players can earn various skins and even a sex CG based off of the characters from Dungeon Tavern! It's a lovely game with an art style we adore, go check it out, it's free!

This should be the last update before our 1.0 launch, which will bring with it the conclusion to the main story as well as additional & updated voice acting, among other things. We're putting a lot of effort into this conclusion and have made some unique assets for it, we can't wait to show it off!

However, even once we launch, that won't be the end of Dungeon Tavern. We still plan to bring in a couple of post-launch updates, such we further guest characters, and eventually a new campaign where players can experience the events of Dungeon Tavern's main story from Celeste's point of view! So keep an eye out, we've still got more stuff coming!

To top it off, Dungeon Tavern will be discounted for the next week! If you were on the fence, or wanted to get the game for a friend, now is the time to do it! The other titles in the TinyHat adult games label will also be discounted, so go check those out too!
