game is now dead

[fredreed2000]

This game could have been a great one but It looks like the devs have now decided to move on so to me this game is now dead. I'm also moving on from this game.

??? The developer is half finished with the update and is taking time off during the holidays?

The developer stated that most likely after the next update he will be moving onto other projects.

In all honesty, I'm just greatly disappointed that truly larger maps were not brought to the game as the developer said he would. He did increase the map size a little bit, but stated he was working on increasing it even more so. Apparently, this must be too difficult because nothing has been said about it since, and no he wants to move onto other projects.

In my opinion this is truly what this game needed. MUCH LARGER MAPS! I want to be able to unleash my creatvity with unique tavern designs. I would like to have enough space to create outside seating areas without sacrificing building design/space. It's a shame he never truly followed through with these plans.

Well every dev sometimes can't always keep their promises that they make either It's because of a lack of funds or It's personal reasons. The reason why I said that this game was dead is simple this game could have been the greatest tavern game ever developed but I suspect that either this game is losing popularity or the dev just feels It's time to move on to other bigger more profitable projects> I think that we all should give the dev the respect they need because this game is still very good and I probably will still play It from time to time If I ever get bored.

Oh, that's unfortunate. I'm absolutely loving this casual game. It has so much potential for many more updates. I hope the developer reconsiders.

[fredreed2000]

I doubt It because anymore these devs don't think about us only themshelves. The devs either blame on It on lack of funds or the development team had split up over some disagreement. It is sad because this game does have a lot of potential but like I said so many games get axed these days that It's very sad. I wouldn't hold your breath on development going on.

Read the news on the game store page, instead of speculating.

The developer clearly stated that the new update will be released approximately in January 2023 (or maybe later).

Bought this game today and love it but I really wish I had read the "news" on updates before buying. Was hoping for more to be honest. It has great potential, well had. That is not to say I don't like it and won't continue playing.

You should see what game devs say to each other about the sort of people who complain on Steam forums

Exactly--I just bought this game and I started to have a bit of fun, felt like it had a lot of potential and when to go check out what the dev had in store, only to find out he packed it in---the game is just over a year old and the dev is already over it and moving on to another project? If this is how much effort he plans to put into his games before he decides to move on to the next thing without putting in the effort to support the game that people already spent money on, why would I ever want to spend money on one of his future games.

You should read what the devs have to say on the matter.

"One more reason why I plan on slowly moving away from Tavern Master is that it became too hard to make new features without breaking the old ones. Really important thing for me was to never break save files with a new update and that becomes a limitation of what I can do. I have read all of your suggestions, feedback, all messages on discord and every review, positive and negative, and I compiled all that in a document that I will use for future games in the same genre as Tavern Master "

Dev is moving away because of technical limitations (whether due to the system they're using or their own skills, the end result is the same). There are only so many changes they can make to the game without breaking save files/existing features. The next game they make, in their own words, will make use of suggestions and feedback from this game.

Maybe read what the devs have to say before going on the attack and making yourselves look like idiots.

Hehe, true,
but I want to add that - afaik - there are no devs - there is only ONE dev - single person!
To create such a project all alone is really something

[jolamath]

Indeed. I'm on the discord, and seeing the dev respond to some of the things I had to say was really something. Watching people dunk on a single dev for what is clearly their first game is just... upsetting. Even more so when they're playing the outrage card because the dev's first game wasn't a masterpiece. I'll reserve judgement on whether they "deserve" my money until after their second game, since we'll be able to see what they did and didn't learn from this.

Will he at least maybe open the source or whatever and let modders do their thing..? I bet there could be some sick mods for this game.
