Window Backgrounds in Tavern Talk

This time,  let’s talk about the tavern window backgrounds.

Since the game focuses on the characters and the dialogue, background elements such as windows are not important when it comes to gameplay. However, they can help to create the right atmosphere. 

As the story unfolds, the gameplay takes place inside the tavern, so you won't get a chance to see much of the outside world. But what does it look like? Is it the same world as ours? Where are all the characters from? What is the weather? 

When you think about all these questions, you realize how something so small can affect the overall atmosphere or mood, maybe even allow you to understand the characters a little better. 

Since we are going to create a cozy atmosphere, we thought it would be nice to add more background options besides day and night: e.g. when we think of something comfortable, we imagine a beautiful sunset and a rainy day. 

For the background itself, we’ve decided to show a city that’s near the tavern. If you look closely enough, you might notice giant roots and a huge moon. Although it’s not relevant to the gameplay itself, all of that plays a part in the storytelling of Tavern Talk.
