We’re partnering with the European Space Agency for Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life!
Hey everyone, we hope you’re having a great August so far!
If you're one of those space lovers, you might have seen that the European Space Agency (ESA) are at Gamescom this year, which seems like a fitting time to let you all know that we are partnering with them once more for Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life!
The European Space Agency is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.
We are going to be working with the folks at ESA to make sure we can bring authenticity and real-world science into our sequel to Mars Horizon. As the sequel focuses on The Search for Life, we are excited to talk to them about biosignature detection, sample return, and much more. Their partnership ensures that we can create an authentic game in Mars Horizon 2, as we did with the first!
Simfest 2023 begins today and Brewmaster is part of it! 🍻
We are thrilled to announce that Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator will be part of Simfest – the Steam festival celebrating all things related to simulation games.
From today through the 24th of July, 10am PDT 2023, you can save 34% off Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator. In addition to that, you will also be able to experience some of the latest and greatest simulation titles and see what the future holds for the simulation genre with coming soon games. From simulators which cover hobbies you would love to experience to job simulators which revolve around your dream career (even out of this world ones), Simfest will feature a wide variety of titles in the genre.
We're so excited to let you all know that Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator is a finalist in the 2023 James Paul GEE Award in the Informal Learning category. People learn in all different ways and for many people games can be a brilliant tool for learning and understanding. This was a key focus for us when making the game, we worked hard to make it authentic and accessible.
Under the hood of Brewmaster is a real simulation of chemistry; so accurate and lifelike that it is possible to take recipes from a book on the subject and replicate them in the game to return the correct result. We wanted to help more people understand and appreciate the amazing world of brewing beer, and maybe inspire them to have a go at brewing themselves, if its something they've not done before. We are also very proud of our Brewpedia which has loads more info on all areas of the craft.
The GEE awards also includes the People's Choice awards and we'd love it if you could vote for us!
Being nominated for a GEE award is absolutely amazing so we'd absolutely love it if you could two minutes out of your day to vote for Brewmaster!
Thank you!
🔴 STREAM: Brewing a blood themed beer for Digital Tabletop Fest: Blood and Dice
Watch our dev team try to brew a blood themed beer for Digital Tabletop Fest: Blood and Dice 🧛🎲
We've got a special Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator let's play featured at Digital Tabletop Fest. In our let's play we have content producer Britt playing the game with Principle Designer Matt and Senior Designer Gabriel, who both worked on Brewmaster.
Matt and Gabriel will talk us through the steps of brewing a blood red beer, in honour of Digital Tabletop Fest: Blood and Dice. You'll also get to hear all about the making of Brewmaster and how both designers brought the complex art of brewing to the game.
Make sure to check out the rest of Digital Tabletop Fest: Blood and Dice - there's other great let's plays as well as some brilliant panels. Alongside this you can get great deals on a whole host of games.

🩸 The Blood Panel: Vampires & Gaming 🧛🏿♀️
Vampires have been an endless source of fascination for us; the thirst for blood, the supernatural powers, immortality yet paying the price of being outcast from humanity. Why are we so fascinated by them and why we want to play against them or indeed, as them?
📆 Date: Friday 24th March
⏰ Time: 5.00pm GMT, 6.30pm GMT, 8.00pm GMT

Moderator:Brewmaster Lucy Cook, Auroch Digital Associate Producer, She/Her

First of all we’d like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who has played and enjoyed Brewmaster (and even if you didn’t, your thoughts help us make better games). We know it hasn’t been all smooth sailing, and we’re incredibly grateful for your patience whilst we fix those pesky bugs.
Our amazing community team has been showing us how you’ve all been interacting with the features of the game and it’s incredible to see our creations used in ways we didn’t think of, and in cases where it results in some buggy behaviour; chatting with the design and code team leads to get fixes pushed through asap.
But what else has been going on? Well, we released on consoles! And to celebrate that launch we added a whole host of game posters from our fellow indie developer friends to the game. We hope you enjoy showing off your favourites!
We’ve also been hard at work fixing all manner of bugs, and most importantly getting those fixes out to our console players as well. Another patch is on the horizon! We can’t say for sure when it will be live, but we’re working on it.
A short but sweet update this month Brewers, but hopefully as the team winds down and moves to other exciting projects you’ll continue to love Brewmaster and share your creations with us!
Thank you all for your support! 💝
Brewmaster is now available on all major platforms! 🥳
In case you missed it, PC, Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation brewers are now all able to meet Jeff and the rest of the team.
Thank you all so much to everyone who's followed our journey from announce and beyond, and a big welcome to our newest members of the community too!
Thank you for the reviews so far! ⭐
We want to give another massive thank you to our PC players for reviewing the game on Steam, we really appreciate it! And the two of you who reviewed on Xbox - we see you! 👀
We have over 550 reviews, which is amazing! As a smaller game developer we can’t stress how much they mean to us and how important they are.
It’s been a long road, but here we are! Our game about homebrewing is finally available and the reception has been reassuringly positive so far.
What's been wonderful is reading about what you like, and even what you don’t like, in the Steam forums. Having people tell us what they want to see improved is always useful feedback, just as much as being told what you’re really liking about, as it lets us fix up some areas, while leaning into others.
So as planned, this month has been (and will continue to be) about our team doing more polishing and bug fixing – hopefully you’ve already checked out our first couple of big patches! - as well as finishing up and releasing the console versions of the game.
When we’re not doing that we’ll likely be keeping an eye on the community pages here, as we’re absolutely loving all the great recipes and screenshots you’ve been sharing.
So thanks again for supporting us on our journey so far 😁
Brewmaster is now available on all platforms! 🥳
We're so over the moon that our PC, Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation brewers are now all able to meet Jeff and the rest of the team.
Thank you all so much to everyone who's followed our journey from announce to now, and our newest members of the community too! And of course, a huge thanks to our console players who waited ever so patiently for the game to be just right before we released it.
💡 Don't forget: Brewmaster on Xbox, PlayStation*, and Switch has a 10% launch discount until November 3rd! *PlayStation discount is for PlayStation PLUS users only
Last week, real life Brewmaster, Garrett Oliver, played our game over on the XboxOn Twitch channel. There were some really great moments including when Sam didn’t use the right malt for the task at hand, and even though Henry did in his run through, Garrett still preferred Sam’s beer overall!
Make sure you catch up with the stream here if you missed it! We loved seeing the XboxOn team try our real-life Auroch Digitale, brewed to life by our partners Moor Beer.
It was so great to hear all about Garrett’s history with brewing, from when he lived in the UK to what he’s up to now - did you know Garrett’s a Knight?!
