TLDR- its "no longer financially viable" for them to make bug fixes... despite them stopping those *last* December.
Want to read all about it? here is their official statement... alongside people who have played giving context that says they're full of sh*t.

So gutted, this game had a lot more potential

I was just about to post the same thing; this game is like a half-polished gem. Its already great but theres so many QoL changes that could be made (like basic measuring equipment!) and I'd buy DLC's if they existed. Please come back devs :(

This is depressing. Maybe marketing of the game was a failure for whatever reason, it is a shame this was abandoned.

You enjoy the game, too? I can't believe the most realistic and satisfying alcohol brewing game was abandoned. All the others are cartoonish/arcades. They should sell the IP if they're not going to do anything with it.

Firstly, they need to add network features, making it multiplayer, whether that's the classic "1-4 players", or even just co-op. Games like this are much more fun multiplayer, and tend to fail/drop-off if they don't support it.

Once they get that ironed out, release multiplayer functionality as part of a decently large free update that are mostly QoL changes, followed by the release of a paid DLC and a free weekend celebrating St Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest or some other international celebration involving peoples love of BEER.

Hell, even attend Oktoberfest, commission a small batch of there own beer and have a stall where they also hand out some game keys.

Otherwise please.. please! Sell the IP, I beg you!
