• Minor Tweak - 4 August 2025

  A very minor tweak - slowed down mouse look speed. A subtle change, but the original speed, for first person, was too fast and this is now slightly dampened. Mouse speed can still be changed in the settings.

• Minor Tweaks and Amends - 10 July 2025

  Minor updates: Mainly some tweaks to the menu settings. Adjusted Audio Default settings. Added a setting for Motion Blur. Some other minor tweaks. Game version has remained at 1.4.

• General Updates and New Game In Early Prep - 1 July 2025

  Updates and upcoming project.A short update for Tavern In The Woods. Sorry, I've mentioned this a couple times before, so won't mention again. But this game/interactive story has been purchased and played way more than I was expecting. I thought I may get a couple hundred downloads after a while and maybe a couple reviews.At the time of this post – it’s has almost 25,000 (free) purchases and numerous reviews. By no means a big amount compared to some games, but way more than I was expecting!Since it was launched, I've also made several updates and improvements. Some updates (I would admit) should have been there to start with, for example a settings menu. But these updates and improvements have all been added and are live. Tavern in the Woods - Story Enhancements:There are a few minor tweaks I will make, or have made, but these haven’t been released as yet. These are very small and more…

• Version 1.4 - Refinements and Bug Fixes - 24 June 2025

  Version 1.4 Released: This refines and polishes the previous release and also updates the story game logic. Audio Settings: 1. The mono sound setting is fixed and the narration plays evenly over both speakers. 2. I've added a narration volume level setting to the audio settings. 3. I've also tweaked volume levels so the narration stands out further. Particle Effects: 4. I have further optimised particle settings. Refinements: 5. The longer notes now auto scroll (with a hint for the player to scroll) with no mouse cursor required. So you keep control of the viewport as well. 6. I have further amended game logic. So you now have to explore the Tavern and Barn before the goblin can appear. 7. The letter at the end still had one issue with some logic and didn't appear if you stood next to it - too soon. This is fixed. 8. I've added another sign post pointing in direction of barn and also ch…

• Update 1.3 - 22 June 2025

  Additions: Added narration. Added achievements. Added more information and details about the story and events unfoled. Added a diary in the tavern about more info on the events that are happening. Added a map in the tavern of the local area. Improved story logic. Game Logic: Added logic so if you explore the landscape before entering the tavern you will not trigger any story events. Added lock to the barn - so you have to find the key first. General Refinements: Added styled text to letters. Added Letter paper background. Toned down some particle effects - as they were too strong and also made them more performant. Audio: Add narration in game. Added music to the menu. Added more audio options. Bug fixes: Not really a bug - but fixed logic in the final letter that could keep it on screen. A couple other minor bug fixes.
