v0.4.1
Main Focus

• This update is all about Lyra and some key narrative improvements!

Major Changes

• Reworked Introduction : The game’s intro has been completely revamped! Now you can make choices during scenes. I want these choices to really matter—not just change a few lines, but also set the foundation for a future relationship system I’m working on. Some choices already influence future scenes, making the story feel more dynamic and personal.
• Scene Order Variation : Some scenes now change a bit depending on the order you meet the characters. For now, this only affects one scene, but I plan to expand this so your choices and the order of your interactions have a bigger impact on the story.
• Lyra’s Scenes Overhaul : All of Lyra’s scenes have been reworked, with new CGs and a brand new sprite for one of her scenes! Lyra now has a lot more sprites than the other characters, so I want to bring everyone up to the same level in future updates.
• Menu Sound Effects : Added new sounds to the menu! If the hover sound gets too annoying, let me know—I’m still thinking about tweaking it.

Fixes and Adjustments

• Fixed several images and interactions that weren’t working right in the new menu, especially on mobile.
• Made small tweaks to some CGs and sprites for better quality.
• Fixed a few continuity errors in the narrative for a smoother story experience.

v0.3
What’s New?

• New Character Added!
• New Scenes for characters who didn’t get any in the last update.
• New Random Scene System: Now, while working at the tavern, you might see a random scene—if you’ve already unlocked its conditions. This is meant to encourage spending time at the tavern while also introducing new moments!
• New UI for the Main Menus! (I still plan to improve the in-game UI as well. This is a work in progress since I’m still learning how to bring my ideas into Ren’Py.)
• Added a Disclaimer at the beginning of the game (just a small detail, but it might be important to have).

Fixes & Improvements

• Adjustments to some sprites and CGs that looked a bit off (I’ll keep refining these over time).
• Tweaked some dialogue to make scenes more consistent.
• Code improvements (probably not noticeable on the player’s side, but it helps a lot).
• Spanish language added! (I’m working on refining the translations, so I apologize for any inconsistencies.)
• Rearranged Nina’s scenes into an order that makes more sense.

v0.2
New Content

• New Character: Zara Dryake – Her progress is tied to the tavern’s debt payments. Currently, the values are arbitrary, and I’ll be adjusting them to ensure a balanced progression that makes sense.
• Character Menu on the Map Screen – You can now check the characters directly from the map screen!
• New Scenes Added – Clara, Talia, and Milena have received new scenes.
• Portuguese (PT-BR) Translation – This was done automatically for now and hasn’t been fully reviewed yet. Some menus are still untranslated, but it’s a test for now.

Fixes & Improvements

• Adjusted some sprites that looked a bit off.
• Fixed dialogue inconsistencies in some scenes.
• Reworked how the main menu is displayed – Though you probably won’t notice any difference, this was more of a technical adjustment.
• Gallery Fix! – I only recently noticed that I had published version 0.1 with a completely broken gallery… Sorry about that! It should now be working as intended.
• Several technical improvements to scene logic (mostly backend changes for better handling).

v0.1
Initial release

Disclaimer

Hearthwood Tavern is a work in progress and still super early access with just a few content, initially I just want to show the general idea of the game and improve it according to people’s feedback.! The game is being developed by a solo indie developer, which means updates, new content, and quality improvements will be released gradually. Expect things to evolve over time as new features, mechanics, and even more fun interactions are introduced.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated—whether it’s about bug reports, feature suggestions, or just sharing your experience with the game. Your support helps make Hearthwood Tavern the best it can be!
