Before the Crossroads Inn premiere we released a Road Map with all planned DLC, Add-ons and events. On 5th of December, we updated it by adding new DLC - "The Tax Collector", announcements of new translations and console editions.
Our plan was to add French and Spainish version in Q1, Russian in Q2 and another one in Q3.
Since the begging of the year our team, except fixing the bugs, focused on those translations. First effect of their job can be found in the game. On 28th of January, just before the DLC premiere, we've added French language to the game!
Now, we would like to announce that in March two new translations will arrive!
In about a month Russian and Spanish language will appear in the game!
What's more, we started working on Chinese translation! Right now, we can't give you the exact date of arrive, but expect it to be in Q2/Q3 2020!
Patch 2.3.1! Skip Prologue!
Innkeepers!
Patch 2.3.1 is live! From now, you can skip the Prologue of the campaign! If you don't want to play the tutorial, just check the checkbox "Skip Prologue" in options and you will jump directly to the Act 1.
What's more, now your food and drinks won't get stuck in the Counter and you will be able to switch it for bigger one!
See what's more have changed:
New Features - Added Skip Prologue checkbox to Options. It allows skipping the Prologue part of the Campaign and starting directly from Act 1 instead.
UI - Clicking specific parts of the Main Menu will no longer open a Steam Subscriber Agreement. - Prepared food and drinks will no longer be stuck in the Counter after loading a save. Please note that this can still lead to graphical glitches on old saves - the items will appear to be inside a Counter, while in reality they're not. If that occurs, saving a game and loading it again will fix the display. - Stealing now has a correct graphical indicator when it doesn't work; and when it does work, loot is correctly received. - You can no longer send more than one Adventurer on a single mission; this will also resolve an issue with the Adventurers not coming back to the Tavern after a quest. - Services tab (on the Room Info screen) now works correctly, and the services can be selected or deselected by double clicking with Left Mouse Button. - Added a new Trash bin icon to every piece of Furniture that can store items, like Counter or Shelves. By using this icon, selected item will be deleted. - Removed the prompt about not having enough places to sit, as we found it was confusing and largely pointless. - Information about active DLC will now be added to the Main Menu.
AI - [Act 2] Fixed an issue that could prevent interacting with the Countess while she's sleeping. - LOCK priority setting on the Counter will now prevent the workers from using it.
Miscellanious - Serious Landscaping Sandbox quest now requires 15 objects to complete, down from 25. - Nudists will no longer randomly visit your Tavern... for now! - Rumours and Fame will no longer transfer between new games. - Bug Repellents will now be refilled with Herbs. - Dog bowls will now correctly be refilled with Chicken meat. - Reduced the probability of Boars appearing and wreaking havoc.

Pests & Puppies is AVAILABLE!
Innkeepers!
First DLC for Crossroads Inn, Pests & Puppies, is now available! Today, we're launching on Windows and Linux, with Mac following tomorrow!
The pests and wild animals plague have hit Delcrys! Farms, wild boars or legendary creatures, Dear, will do anything to destroy your inn. Only dogs and cats can help fight them!
As an innkeeper, you will have to take care of your animals - equip your inn with dog kennels, cat beds, install new traps to scare off unwanted guests and remember that animal bowls are never empty.
Full list of additions:
New pets:
Dogs, 5 breeds, each in 3 colors. They defend the tavern's surroundings against pests and thieves.
Cats, 4 breeds, each in 3 colors. They protect the inn's interior against pests.
New Pests:
Boar - appears unexpectedly, destroys crops and external objects. You can scare him with the help of dogs.
Liquorats - fantasy rat-like creature. It destroys barrels with alcohol and drinks the contents. Cats and traps catch him.
Birds - They destroy crops. They are frightened by a scarecrow or a dog.
Daer - legendary horned bear, patron of Yorevale. Arrives if there are hives in the inn. He causes panic in the inn and destroys objects. Only dogs can scare him - but one is not enough.
Fleas - people or animals can bring them to the inn. To fight with them, your employee can clean the object or the guest can take a bath.
Woodworms - destroys furniture, infecting neighboring ones. Special incense or employee can help.
Since today you will be able to play Crossroads Inn in your language! Souffle, brie or soupe à l'oignon and all that stuff, you can now serve it in your tavern :)
Make sure to update the game and switch language to French in game options!
Patch 2.2.2! Chinese New Year!
Hello Innkeepers!
Lunar New Year arrives! Because of that, loads of travellers from The Land of the Cherry Blossom arrived to Crossroads! They decided to stay at Crossroads Inn. Martyn, known from his experience in the hotel industry, decided to decorate the inn with traditional Chinese lanterns!
To celebrate Chinese New Year, loads of decorations are available in the Sandbox mode! Make your inn unique!
Besides additional content, we made a few balance changes and fixes to Crossroads Inn and made improvements in stability of the game.
New content:
- Chinese New Year is here! To celebrate, new decorations are now available in the Furnish Mode in Sandbox. Discover traditional Chinese lanterns and use them to make your inn even more unique!
Balance changes and fixes:
- Political Rumours (Blue) can now be used to purchase influence on the World Map to the maximum level. This will make trade routes easier to complete. However, the cost of purchase steps above 3 has been increased.
- Rebalanced "Partner up with the Seers" quest. Nobles reputation is now easier to obtain, the required reputation was changed from 75% to 50%, and an additional quest (related to Rumours) has been added as an option of progressing. Please note that saved games with this quest already active will not be affected.
- New workers will now have a higher chance of starting with positive Traits.
- The Loyalty attribute of workers will now deteriorate at a lower rate, which will result in them spending less time on breaks, and more on working.
- "Cleanness" bar of a room will no longer be affected by the quality of furniture.
- The floors will now become dirty at a lower rate, requiring cleaning less often.
- Ganis and Calistere quests in Act 2 will now always trigger correctly.
Stability improvements:
- Fixed a crash that could occasionally occur during NPC interaction with a Gambling Table.
- General stability improvements.
