- Oi, Innkeep! is Getting Put On Hold For Now . . . - 10 February 2020
Hey, everyone, So, if you've been following the game these last few months, you may have noticed that we haven't been anywhere near as active as we have been in the past, and I wanted to explain a bit of why that is and what's goin on. Oi, Innkeep! is our first ever real attempt at making a video game ourselves. Having never done this before, there's been a butt load of stuff that has come up along the way that we just never expected, from plenty of game breaking bugs to longer than expected turnaround times to get features in. The real issue is that we're just two people. We don't have a massive team behind us. Apart from the music, we do everything ourselves. After almost three years of working on Oi,Innkeep, we've hit the point where we just need to make money to keep going. Neither Rich or I have had any money coming in this entire time, and have had to make some pretty big sacrific…
- Dev Log #12 - Announcing Oi, innkeep! Chronicles! - 6 May 2019

We recently announced Oi, Innkeep! Chronicles! Chronicles is a serialized, narrative-driven set of short, top-down adventure games that acts as a prequel to Oi, Innkeep! The first episode will be free and out soon, and the second episode is almost complete. All future episodes will be delivered as DLC and won't cost much at all. We sort of want this to be almost like an episodic tv show, something that we can release a new episode of once or twice a month. Here's a link to the steam page for Oi, Innkeep! Chronicles! where you can watch the trailer, wish-list and follow: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1025620/Oi_Innkeep__Chronicles/ Other than Chronicles! we're still working on getting the main game ready for Early Access, which shouldn't be too long.…

For this dev log, we're going to go over a few little things that we've changed + talk abut some systems and stuff we've got planned. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32502940%2Fb6382ce3851cafae6a640f1eecc172f0dbe57796.png First off, how we've changed the cooking process: it used to be that you just had to take an ingredient to a cooking station (pot or oven), but we wanted to expand that out a bit more. So, we changed it so if you want to make a carrot soup for example, you first have to go to a work bench, place a carrot down and then grab a cleaver and hit the carrot a set number of times. Once you've chopped it enough, the carrot or whatever ingredient you have there, will turn…

So, it's been over two months since the last dev log and we thought we better give you guys an update. Rest assured, we're still working non-stop on Oi, Innkeep! and we're sorry for the lack of communication lately. We finished up the tutorial section of the game, but we also went through some design revision and decided our plan going forward for release, which is what this dev log is mostly going to be about. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32502940%2F35a50421f174154473af6e0720a1db5416856291.png Originally, we didn't want to do Early Access. We thought we'd be able to just get everything we have planned out in one release, but we soon realized that just wasn't going to happen, not with a 2-man team and zero funding. So,…

We've been working on the art and writing for a lot of the characters you'll be getting to know in Oi, Innkeep! So, we'll probably start showing them off over the next couple of dev logs. We'll mostly be showing art, as we don't want to reveal too much about each character's story because we want you guys to experience all that for yourself. But, keep in mind that NPCs will have multiple storylines that you'll be able to progress through, with unique gameplay features and unlockables.

There's a few different ways this can happen. If you leave things too close to the fireplace, they will start smoking and eventually start to burn. We are probably going to make it so if you leave your oven/pot cooking for too long there's a chance it'll start a fire that can spread to nearby flammable objects. You can put fires out with the watering can. Check it out below: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images…

This isn't a hardcore survival game, but we want to include some light survival elements. You'll have to eat once a day and sleep between 6-8 hours to fully replenish your energy. The lower your energy gets, the slower you will move. If your energy runs completely out, then you'll pass out and be forced to sleep, but when you wake up you'll be slower for the next few hours because you pushed yourself too hard. Dif…
