Video Game developer
Greenheart Games is an independent video game developer founded in July 2012 by brothers Patrick and Daniel Klug.[1] Game Dev Tycoon, a business simulation game, is its first and only released game.[2] A second, unrelated business simulation game is currently in development by the company.[3]
The headquarters are in Brisbane, Australia but is served online with developers from many countries.
Products
A year after the release of their first game, Game Dev Tycoon, Greenheart Games laid plans for their second game, Tavern Keeper, which is currently under development.[4]
Tavern Keeper is currently in alpha build. The game has been under development since 2014, and is a humorous fantasy tavern simulator.[5] This second game has been known under the name 'Game #2', and the project was kept from the public until 23 November 2016, when its announcement was sent by e-mail to subscribers of Greenheart Games' newsletter.[6]
Public announcements
The team had been silent about the development of Tavern Keeper, but in April 2019, Greenheart Games created a Patreon page.[11] People could buy a subscription to get behind the scenes insight on the development of Tavern Keeper. They have since hosted 40 podcasts with various members of the team sharing their experiences, struggles and successes while creating the game. One day prior to the 10th anniversary of Game Dev Tycoon, the team released the steam page for Tavern Keeper. The release date is set for Q3 2024.[10][12]
