I honestly think this will be a great game. I am willing to do some game testing for you if you need it.
Hey, your game sounds awesome! Iโd recommend doing the following to turn it into a bigger success on Game Jolt!
1. Post about your game, news and updates in as many communities as it makes sense! Communities like Game Dev or Arts n Crafts will get your posts in front of thousands of users! Find more communities here: https://gamejolt.com/communities.
2. Write a bio on your profile. A complete profile always looks more legitimate in the eyes of the community. This is a great place to add in your website or other social channels.
3. Post and update your followers frequently to stay on their radar!
pretty good game, had fun making some good ale.
I might have also accidentally ruined a wedding by forgetting about the mission
whoops....
If you need testers, here I am. I think it could be an unbelievable game. Can't wait to play it!
Hello. Great project, you did well. If you need a voice actor for this project or any of your next projects, I really want to work with you. I hope that everything will work out
A Monastery Brewery tycoon. Craft recipes, brew beer, perfect your Monks' skills, bribe the local lords, feed the poor, and discover the Abbot's dark (or not-so-dark) past.

Gameplay
Ale Abbey is a tycoon indie game developed under the premise of being stress-free and with almost no punishing gameplay mechanics. We want the player to enjoy building their Monastery up and evolving its Monks and Nuns. You will need to find and purchase the best materials, craft recipes and brew your ale, care for the local populace, and tend to the "requests" of the Lords and Bandits of the area. All that to make the tastiest of ale and increase the Abbey's renown!
Brewing
Made by a team that appreciates and respects beer and crafting it, Ale Abbey is a pixelated wink to the ones that not only kept the craft alive but also perfected it through harder and darker times.
Accurate ingredients, realistic practices, demanding audiences (!), and a bunch of trusty Monks and Nuns ready to brew!
Game Modes
Ale Abbey will come with a campaign and sandbox mode.
The campaign will span over a period of about 100-120 years, divided into 4 terms that will run under 4 different Abbots and Abbesses. Each term will carry over bonuses to the next, based on the retiring Abbot's/Abbess' background and the player's choices throughout that term.
The Sandbox mode will tend to those who wish to hone their tycoon/managerial skills without having to worry about the timeline or the backstories found in the campaign mode. Everything else will still be there; quests, recipe creation, brewing, slightly inebriated Monks...

Making a montage in Ale Abbey: hyping monastery brewers, one lunch at a time!๐ปโช
The first time it takes two Laymen to take your ale to market (or the cellars), you know it's been a fruitful brewing day in Ale Abbey! ๐ปโช
When you're asked to craft a Light Ale (AKA as golden at best) recipe in our upcoming Ale Abbey, but remember the adage "coffee is life"...โ The team ain't gonna like the results, but coffee is coffee!๐ปโช
What it takes to make a monastery's wing a MASSIVE BEER PRODUCTION UNIT in Ale Abbey...๐ปโช
* Build those rooms next to each other
* Make sure you equip them properly
* Trust your Laymen to move ingredients about๐ช
"What ale should we brew this week?"๐ค
Ale Abbey's Superiors better make it a thing to overview the monastery's tasks for the week๐ปโชWe don't give them those luxurious rooms for nothing!๐
Long brewing days should be followed by charming and restful nights.๐ด Ale Abbey's brewers will definitely enjoy their moment of respite๐ปโช
Ah, to make the mushots for the brewmasters and brewmistresses of Ale Abbey!๐ปโช We've included the Superiors in this one, the Abbot and the Abbess๐คฉ

Still quite WIP, but all the characters that have been designed and animated for Ale Abbey's halls so far!๐ปโชSo exciting to see them all together ๐คฉ
You bet there's more to come๐
In case you missed it, a few scenes showing what Ale Abbey's Refectory is going to feel like๐ปโช The Cook's job is a demanding one, but keeping everyone happy is worth it!๐
Keep ๐ on for this one
Ale Abbey's Laywoman!๐ช Along with the rest of the monastery's supporting staff, probably one of the few able to single-handedly make sure your barreled brews make their way to their cellars in one piece!๐ปโช
