Gentle Troll Entertainment is a small indie studio in Germany founded in 2014. In 2024, we successfully self-published our debut entertainment game, Tavern Talk. Now we dive deeper into the world we created and are currently working on Tavern Talk stories: Dreamwalker - a prequel to Tavern Talk.. We have a great focus on a diverse team with members who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, some are neurodivergent. We think that games can change how we see the world. With our games, we want to show how incredibly diverse people can be and that we can influence not only our lives but also the lives of the people around us - hopefully for the better.
Tavern Talk was released on June 20th 2024.
We have received funding from the FFF Bavaria and the budgetary funds of the Free State of Bavaria for prototype development.
We have received national funding from the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action for the production phase.
Our KICKSTARTER ended November 16th and was a huge success. With 3.461 people supporting the project and crowd funding over 156.335€ in total.
