The nitty-gritty is taking a bit longer than anticipated with the Tavern Wench Challenge...!

In all honesty, I had to scale back on my vision for the mini-game as it would've just taken too much time to add every single detail I wanted while some decisions would've probably made the presentation and UI clash with the rest of the game.

Nevertheless, everything will be done before the next beta release for later this month!
The challenge has been implemented to every tavern by now and I've also taken the liberty of creating some additional assets to update the interior for some places on the Frozen Continent to give them more of an unique look/feeling.

Hopefully players will feel it'll be worth it in the end, though!

Hopefully, next week will be the last time in a while I say...Tavern Wench Challenges!

While adding the overhauled mini-game to Castle Warrengard was a breeze, all things considered, the payout version for Gabrielle and Bal'Rana across all the other taverns was a bit trickier.
Mostly because I had to take several things into account, like if the players had already done them, statistics carrying over and deciding if some things should be reset or not.
I think the best solution is what I went for, letting the game remember which you've already finished, but also letting you replay all of them once with each of the two characters to gain the money/EXP that would've otherwise been locked out.

I've also implimented additional stats to let you track how a candidate has performed at each location, so you can easily see which Tavern Wench Challenge has already been completed.
[Fame] you gain from finishing challenges and hanging up promotional posters will now affect difficulty outside of Castle Warrengard, with higher numbers increasing the frequency of defiled drinks that are harder to swallow and requires [Efficiency] while in turn give you more EXP.

I think that rounds up today's news, so see you next week!
