🍺🎄 Christmas Brewers Club Monthly 🎄🍺 Brewmaster Developer Update #7

Hi Brewers Club!

Welcome to the December issue of the Brewers club with your latest update on Brewmaster🍻

Make sure you are subscribed to our Brewers Club Newsletter to get these updates direct to your inbox.

🍻 First, let's hop over to Development, what's new? 🍻

As we head into the holidays, and look forward to all the lovely Christmas beers we’ll be drinking (for research purposes, obviously), the development team will be wrapping up our work for the year on a real high note! 

We’ve been reading through your messages from the Public Alpha and we were overwhelmed by how positive the feedback was – so a huge thank you from all of us for that. As part of this, we’ve been taking note of the common themes and feature requests so we can make sure that the game we launch with has all the things you want the most from Brewmaster. 

Besides these improvements, and some bug fixes, we’ve been squirreling away on a stack of new features, including (deep breath!)... 

• Prototypes of the label maker, so you can design your own beer bottle labels 🔖

• Adding new ingredients and grain textures 🌾

• Coming up with our fictional breweries that you’ll provide “guest recipes” for 📖 (See above image for preview 😉)

• A recipe creation system, for you to easily make your own recipes 📝

• Special brewery challenge rewards 🥇

• New furniture to customise your hobby space 🪑

• The backbone of our progression system 💾

• Some very unlockable special items we’re not allowed to tell you about... yet! 🔐

• Writing for the Brewpedia; think Mars Horizon’s Spacepedia, but about brewing and beer 🍺 ... and probably some other stuff too; we’ve been very busy! 

So what has the alpha told us so far?

We're sad that the Brewmaster Closed Alpha is over however we got some amazing feedback from our community and we want to share some of the early results with you!
