Look, sometimes you all start a thing, and we have no other choice but to agree. How else did the croissant joke make its way into Rune's repertoire? So, to commemorate this community effort: have some Quaissant! 🥐

Time to unpack some more #conceptart for you all! Of course, our characters also go through a lot of iterations before we’re happy with their design. These are the first concepts of Cain... And what can I say: he definitely gained a lot of muscle mass since then. Beefy boy. Short King Beef. 💪

Some fanart I made of Fable from the game Tavern Talk! I really like their character and design ✨ #fanart #taverntalk #characters #art #digitalart

Art I made of the character Fable from Tavern Talk. It’s a sunny day outdoors, though with some clouds and lots of green bushes and flowers. Fable stands looking to their outstretched hand, a yellow and teal butterfly has landed on their finger. Fable has light yellow skin and pointy ears, as a well as long blonde hair. They wear a light green hat with a white brim and a yellow flower on it with two green leaves. They have baggy pale yellow white sleeves and brown forearm guards with a golden metal end with a repeating triangular shaped rim. They have on white gloves. Over the shirt they wear a light green top wrap with a high neckline rimmed in gold and a golden flower clasp. And the shoulders the ends poke out in three directions like petals on each side. There is a white flower mark on each petal and the underside of the material is a golden color. The midsection of the shirt is a dark green with a thin yellow stripe near the top and a very slight heart shaped neckline. They have on a light green corset. The top and bottom are lined with golden metal. The top also has a couple triangular edges at the middle and a diamond shape at its center. The bottom of the corset ends in a triangular shaped rim, and above are three diamond, petal like shapes, two light green and one gold, and all rimmed with gold metal. They have on a dark green skirt too. Fable has yellow orange eyes and a happy, gentle smile.

Sharktober: 24. Shark Tavern This little shark decided to get a magical water orb and visit the Wayfarer’s Inn. They got themself a sweet lemon shark drink. 🍹 Looks like the little shark and Andu are about to be best friends. #sharktober #sharktober2025 #digitalart #taverntalk

An illustration of the counter of the Wayfarer’s Inn, the tavern of the game Tavern Talk. On the left of the counter is a pink drink in a round glass with light blue foam on top and a straw. On the foam are little stars and fishes. A lemon slice sticks out looking like a shark fin. Right next to the drink is Andu, a very round light purple creature with short thick legs. He has big round and green eyes and his tongue is sticking out of his big mouth. On the right is a little shark in a magical water orb. The shark seems really excited about his drink. In the background is green wallpaper and a notice board with quests.

A big part of developing a game is hunting all the bugs down, so that you all have the smoothest possible experience. Sometimes it’s certain text bubbles not loading, and sometimes... well, sometimes it’s just a very intense dawn 🔆 #indie #dev #bugs #visualnovel

We're closing the familiar section off with our most obscure familiar. Are they alive? Are they made of plastic? Who's to say, and who cares! Meet Fishimy, the famous singing fish on the wall of the Drowsy Dragon. A certain Vila from the Dreamplane is absolutely obsessed with him. The taxman, too!

Developing a game sometimes means finding friends along the way, sometimes in the form of an emotional support chalk. The actual story (and the second post) is the actual bug, but be honest: imagine if it actually got a mind of its own. The things it would write~

Here's one who could definitely use a wake-up call when September ends! Meet Aurawra (or Renu iykyk)! A small critter that was saved by your local hero and perpetual rain cloud Delphi. They like long naps and head scratches. Apparently, they also got a mean slap? Best not to try, really

Let's talk about the Dragon's Delight, because this one was a doozy to bring to life. Lorewise, it is said to be infused with the magic of the dragon deities themselves, but how do you convey that visually? 🐉✨ #dnd #visualnovel #cozy #tavern

There's a fair amount of hidden references and easter eggs around the Drowsy Dragon—mainly because we at Gentle Troll are also massive nerds, and it's a way to show appreciation! Haven't noticed any yet? Let us give you a small selection of our favourites, before we let you have a proper look!
