❓ How is the alpha different to the full game ❓
The alpha is only a small snapshot of the game so we can get early feedback to help us improve it. As the game is still in active development you may well see things go wrong during your playthrough, or things might not work quite as nicely as we’d like - which is exactly why we do these kinds of playtests!
Some examples of things that will change before the game is out include (but are not limited to);
- The UI (the in-game menus), the alpha UI are placeholders currently.
- A more extensive tutorial will be included.
- This alpha contains only a fraction of the ingredients and equipment that will be in the full game.
- The final game will have story elements and a campaign
- Many other features, such as decorating the space, competitions, and creating beer labels are absent.

KNOWN ISSUES
As this is an Alpha - there are some already known issues that we want players to be made aware of before launching the game:
- Interacting with the calendar takes a bit longer than we’d like at the moment - in the full game we’re aiming to make this area faster.
- Pressing “ESC” on the tasting sequence mat result in a crash
- VSync/Screen Tearing - Some users have reported this. The alpha does not have controls for this but you can manually change them through your graphic card’s control panel.
- In the full version, the recipe in the game will not be presented in the format you currently see. We’re creating a system that will provide the same quality and depth of recipe, but in a more approachable format, with bite-sized steps.
- Some people have been struggling to find the tasting taps; they’re in the room opposite the kitchen counter.
