???????? Hi Brewers Club!
Welcome to the September 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 up, let's hear from the devs!
???? Putting the finishing touches on Brewmaster ????
⏰ We are nearing the release of Brewmaster and are currently working hard on those small changes at the end that can make all the difference to how a game is received. One of the things we do to make sure we’re building the game right is to test each one with our intended audience – we do this with alphas, betas, and demos.
???? Recently we got to do some “user testing” (the fancy name for all this) on a near-final version of the game with a company that offers such a service. They recorded video of how our sample group played the game and captured their voices through mics as they talked about how they were feeling as they played.
???? And it was awesome! For example, we learned about a handful of little issues some people ran into during the tutorial – things like the wording of a particular instruction – and we could use the video captured to identify exactly where it happened.
???????? Those things? Those things that seem trivial? That’s the stuff that all adds up to the overall feel of the game, and it has a subtle but substantial effect on how the game is to play.
✨ All of this is to say that, just like our August update, September continues to be all about getting those little things right for us, as we continue to polish everything we can for launch.
????️ Brewmaster's PC release is almost here! ????️
???? With just a few days to go until September 29th, Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator's PC brewing space is almost ready for its grand opening! It's been amazing to see the game progress through its many stages and to have the Brewmaster community there alongside us. From the initial announcement, to running an alpha and NextFest demo, the excitement from you brewers has been wonderful. We can't wait to see you all getting your hands on the finished beverage! ????

???????? WISHLIST ON STEAM ????????
???? Update on Brewmaster's console releases ????
In case you missed the recent news, the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch versions of Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator have been delayed. The PC version of the game will still release on September 29th, but the console versions are now scheduled to be released later this year. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
???? Content creators are gearing up for release! ????
???? We recently sent out some content creator packs ahead of Brewmaster's release and it's been great seeing what they've all made of them so far. The packs included items such as aprons, beer (both human and canine ????), snacks, beer mats, and even a recipe to make your own beer in real life!
???? Thanks to everyone who has shared theirs so far. It was great to see Batkitto's dog Spud sporting her apron next to a whole host of treats and Sizzsarz's daughter, Evie, getting excited to start brewing! We can't wait to see you all in your brewing spaces when the game launches. ????

???? What IS Brewmaster? ????
In a recent blog published by Matt, Lead Designer of Brewmaster, and Peter, Lead Producer of Brewmaster, they broke down what Brewmaster is and what it isn't, so you have a better idea of what to expect from the game if you haven't played it before.
