We love you guys. You made our first game a tremendous success in terms of popularity and sheer insanity. We shipped so many updates to Taphouse VR (and more are coming!) thanks to your feedback and constructive critique.
It is only fair we repay you in kind. Here's a not-so-April-Fools teaser of our next game. At this point, we're just gonna give you this exciting image and say that it is for both PC and VR. There'll be a more formal announcement soon!
Oh, and we haven't forgotten about updating Taphouse VR either. Once are hands are a bit more free we'll throw in a new tavern and some quality of life goodies in our quest to get you the best dwarf bartending simulator on the planet.
See you soon,

Just a week to go until the Taphouse opens! 🍻🎇✨
Taphouse VR releasing on October 17th!
We've been really hard at work getting the game out to people, and the time draws near. On October 17th we're releasing worldwide to Steam Early Access!
The game in its initial Early Access state features three exciting taverns to work in and plenty of drinks to pour and pummel around the counter. In Early Access, we'll continue adding in features such as new taverns and drinks.
The game will support the HTC Vive and Microsoft Mixed Reality on launch. We're still working on Oculus support as we speak. You'll need standing/roomscale setup and motion controllers for the game, so have some space handy.
We hope that you leave a positive review if you like the experience, which will motivate us to add further content for the game.
