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! I’d 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.

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...
When you spend all that time creating furniture and equipment for Ale Abbey, only to see your brewers fixating on the Yeast Propagation Tank!🧐🍻⛪
It's not that the Laboratorium's Cabinet of Curiosities was not "curious" enough😉 We just can't help finding new ways to mess around with Ale Abbey's brewers 🍻⛪
Loading...Keep making that ale and your monastery in Ale Abbey can grow as much!🍻⛪ We had to "borrow" a few florins here and there for the production of this video 🤭
Some monks and nuns like research, while others prefer brewing (with the added bonus of ale tasting)😉
Can't have one without the other in Ale Abbey. Hope they share!🍻⛪
A certain someone (Brother Maltus, for those unfamiliar) got a makeover in Ale Abbey🍻⛪ His new in-game assets will be used in a super secret project🤫
Can't wait!🤩
Can't stop looking at the Laboratorium...🤩Concentrating with so much 🌿 in the room might be hard, but those brewers will sure be enjoying some view!🍻⛪
New character portraits for Ale Abbey's Bandit Boss and Bishop.🍻⛪
With lots of "common ground" between monastery politics and banditry... you'll learn to see them both as the most demanding quest-givers around!🧐
You're an Abbot in a brewing monastery🍻⛪ Clearly past your prime, your back needs that extra warmth! One has to get creative at times🤭

1Ale Abbey's Bandits🍻⛪ Rough bunch, but if you keep them from being thirsty, your brewing operations will remain uninterrupted😉
Ale Abbey will have two types of Bandits: those who "act out" and those you "help out"😉 Managing a Monastery Brewery obviously helps with diplomacy...🍻⛪
