And if that isn’t enough excitement for one day, we’ll be livestreaming the game with the community on Steam this Thursday 4 Feb at 5:00PM CET. Do you enjoy the sweet click clack sounds of your mechanical keyboard? Have you always dreamed of an RTS with a typing twist? Do you have mad typing skills you’d like to show off? ⚔️ Just kidding, you don’t need to be a pro! Join us for a bit of friendly competition and a lot of fun. We can’t wait!
Touch Type Tale Demo & Challenger Event!
Join the developers at Pumpernickel Studio as they face off against the community and put their typing mettle to the test. They're asking the STEAM community to go head-to-head with Fabian - the most prolific typer around! See if you can beat the champ in Touch Type Tale's multiplayer.
But what is Touch Type Tale we hear you exclaim? Well, Touch Type Tale is a real-time strategy game with a typing twist!
Streamlined RTS design is paired with devilish multitasking from the innovative typing control system making Touch Type Tale a new and rewarding challenge to RTS veterans and newcomers alike.
During a spell-binding single player story campaign, you can join our unlikely hero, Paul, as he tries to defeat the evil at his door. Or take your skills to the gates of other players and engage in chivalrous competition in online multiplayer skirmish battles! Whichever you choose, Touch Type Tale is the ultimate underdog story asking you to defend the kingdom with just your keyboard and fight back hordes of enemies!
Challenge the devs!
Challenge one of the devs to a multiplayer match and talk strategy with us!
Fabian will take on any and all challenges while Fabian and Malte will comment on his strategies.

Open Beta Weekend from 19th-22nd of March
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.
We will not talk too much about what exactly was added since the last beta so you can discover it on your own, but we are really happy with how things have turned out in the last months.
Fabian, Jelde and me are really looking forward to see you in-game soon!
Patch Notes - V0.6.4
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!
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!
