This little baby of a Steam page is now a full 7 days old and the first week has been a true nail-biter for us. An unexpected issue nearly prevented us from publishing the Steam page 😱 - thankfully that was sorted out within minutes with no damage. Then, sadly, the re-announcement didn’t go to plan and caused our reach to be drastically lower than what we'd been told to expect. Here is a rough analogy: Imagine you are a band and are premiering your new album - you head to a party for 1000 people and get everything ready. You worked hard on this. You set up, you do the soundcheck, the doors open... and the first fifty people come in. Then, suddenly, the doors shut and remain closed with the rest of the crowd outside. That's kind of what seemed to have happened... Game dev has its ups and downs and this was definitely a down!

We’d worked so hard on the cinematic and Steam page (and of course the game itself) and we hoped that our re-announcement would reach a good initial chunk of our potential players. After the first day this did not seem very likely at all… But then something amazing happened and YOU showed up. Against the odds, [b]you have wishlisted the game an incredible 30K times in our first week[/b]! This absolutely exceeded our expectations! Wherever you came from: thanks so much for being here with us!

For us, the year ahead means building the community, finishing the game, preparing a Demo, and, of course, taking you along the ride (including the ups and downs) and showing you why Tavern Keeper 🍻 is so special to us! If you are reading this, you are one of the early supporters and you have turned a challenging first week into something we can celebrate. [b]Thank you so much for showing up![/b] To the path ahead, Patrick And the Greenheart Games 💚 Team
