- Open Beta Weekend from 19th-22nd of March - 5 March 2020
The moment has finally come! We are ready to announce the date for our next beta weekend! The beta will happen from March 19th to the 22nd of March! We know that "early 2020" might be a bit of a stretch, but hey, it's still the first quarter! Everyone who has signed up for the beta will receive a key, so sign up and tell your friends if you want to challenge them, compete with them for the highest score in singleplayer or just want to chat with them about the game (Signup link). If you already have a key from the last beta, you are all set! No need to sign up again.

Fabian, Jelde and me are really looking forward to see you in-game soon!
- Controlling this RTS by typing works better than it has any right to - 31 August 2019
Typing of the Dead, but a real-time strategy game. That's the pitch for Touch Type Tale, and as many words as it took for me to say "I'm in." I love the absurdity of typing tests layered on top of other genres—why haven't more games ripped off Typing of the Dead?—but I honestly didn't expect Touch Type Tale to be so fun. There's more depth and smart design here than the gimmick prepared me for. As real-time strategy goes, Touch Type Tale is a simple game, but it gives you a lot more to do than I first realized. Each level is a single-screen 2D map, with a honeycomb of roads connecting nodes where you'll find building plots or existing defensive structures. On a plot you can build a farm for earning money, or one of several military buildings that recruit swordsmen or spearmen or archers or cavalry. All of this is done with typing, of course. E…
- Patch Notes - V0.6.4 - 15 March 2019
Our very first patch notes are here: - Fixed a bug where quitting the tutorial was unresponsive - Fixed a bug which allowed upgrades to be bought multiple times - Fixed a bug which sometimes summoned three instead of two units with a summon units spell - Fixed a bug that would crash the game when finishing multiple words in a single frame - Fixed a bug that would crash the game on saving a replay with characters not allowed for filenames.
- BETA starting on Thursday! - 12 March 2019
We are ready to share some more details on the upcoming beta! Our first beta run will start on Thursday, March 14th at 3 pm CET and last until March 18th, 3 pm CET. We will start sending out keys on Thursday morning. If you haven't registered for a key yet, you can do so over here. For Feedback and to find other players to play with, join our discord server at discord.gg/TTT. We chose a shorter timeframe for this first beta run to ensure that there are enough players online for matchmaking at most times. Yes, matchmaking is in! And so is a leaderboard that will rank you based on your MMR (for now). The top 3 players at the end of the beta will earn a mention in the credits of the final game. The player in the top spot will receive a key for the final game on release! We will also jump into the matchmaking queue from time to time. You can recognize us by our blue user names! So get ready…
