Have a suggestion that you think could take Ale & Tale to the next level? Suggest away 🍻
Have a suggestion? 🤔
Traveling Merchant
Sometimes ingredients that are foraged just refuse to spawn. It would be nice to have a travelling merchant of some kind that will randomly appear and sell/trade you for those ingredients. Maybe he wants some eggs in exchange for green mushrooms.
Owl helper to collect eggs
Keep returning to the chicken pen to find nothing but a sea of eggs. We could use a little owl to scoop them up an put them in a chest. Maybe have the chickens lay less frequently.
Hiring Bards to Bring a Crowd!
I know someone made a post, but I thought I’d add one anyway! I love the idea of hiring a bard to perform in the evening. This could either draw more visitors or increase their happiness, and thus their tips! Maybe these could be in the rotation with the traveling merchants someone mentioned?
Pay a Builder for Expansions!
Maybe instead of exclusively unlocking areas of the Inn through leveling up, it could also cost currency! You could visit a builder to add a cellar, storage room, expanded cooking area, more bedrooms, etc. Maybe a stage for bards. Stuff like that! And the character would take a day or two to finish the construction.
Indication to know if a helper waiter(owl) is serving someone
A little square with the owls face around the customers order. So if they are serving someone they dont put dishes in a random serving spot when they cant give it to the customer due to a player giving the customer their food.
Cave Growable Mushroom Space after beating Boss
Once you beat the first boss, you should be able to farm mushrooms in the darkness of the caves!
Owl to help manage farm
perhaps this could be two different ones, one to manage the livestock and one to manage the crops. ideally these would have a place to gather livestock drops / crop harvests, and a place to pick up feedstock / seeds. i don’t need them to work fast, nor should they be cheap… but it would certainly be nice.
Parties!
Could be cool if that on rare occasions you can approve for NPC’s to rent out the tavern for themed parties! Like weddings, birthdays etc! And there can be themed decorations for each generated event. Figured it could be nice :)
3rd Person View Option
It would be great for those of us with heavy motion sickness to be able to enjoy this game with a 3rd Person option. :)
Allow dishwasher to be picked up while not empty
please add a way to pick up a dishwasher while it has dishes or water in it-dishes can go into inventory, and water can be wasted… but it’s a pain to have to perfectly match dishes and remaining water.
"Front" of furniture indicator
would be nice to have an indicator for the “front”. specifically, barrel racks since almost all other furniture has a visual way to identify the side you interact with. i like having the taps face out into the room, not into the wall.
Aquarium in Tavern
This suggestion is the option to buy aquariums for the tavern from the merchant. An aquarium could act as an alternative storage space for fish and crabs as well as add to the decor of the tavern (:
Tool's Leveling Up
Tools should gain more experience the more you use them! This could result in faster use of animations, higher damage, and more durability. This would incentivize players to repair more tools, as currently, the musket is the only one that is economically reasonable to fix, in my opinion. It would be cool if other tools had equal incentives!
Delivery Owl
I find that the current delivery system is not worth the effort. Offering players a delivery owl helper would turn it into a fun and exciting addition to the flow of the normal tavern game play. Fill up a delivery box and watch the owl run. “Owl eats?”
Quick Deposit/Stack Splitting
I would love holding shift + left click to split a stack faster than using the slider to divide a stack, especially when the inn is busy! Another is a quick deposit button in chests to move all similar items in your inventory into a chest. Ex. a chest has carrots and potatoes, by clicking the quick deposit button you could move all of those items from your inventory into the chest, versus having to move each stack individually.
