Hello Winemakers 🍷🍇
Today, we would like to share an important update regarding the future of our game, along with our updated development roadmap.Previously, when asked by our community, we mentioned that we were aiming for an Early Access launch between late Q3 and mid-Q4 2026. However, in order to manage the development process more effectively, we have had to adjust this schedule.We want to share the core reasons behind this decision transparently with you:
Demo Updates and Polishing: Following the release of the demo, we decided to prioritize refining, stabilizing, and polishing the demo build based on your initial feedback. This process of fixing issues and improving the experience took a bit longer than we had originally anticipated.
Re-planning Based on Feedback: We carefully analyzed the highly valuable suggestions, criticisms, and requests we received from players who tried the demo. To improve the game's overall quality and better meet your expectations, we went back to the drawing board and re-planned the content of the Early Access version in a more comprehensive way.
Taking our current progress and this new content plan into account, we are now targeting January – February 2027 for the Early Access release of Winemaker Simulator.Before the official Early Access launch, we will be running two important testing phases—as shown in our roadmap—to ensure we deliver as stable an experience as possible:
November – December 2026 (Closed Beta): A test build open to a limited number of selected players to test core winemaking mechanics, trading, and the economy system.
December 2026 (Open Beta): A community test accessible to our Discord community, focusing on story integration, balance tuning, and further economy adjustments.
We sincerely apologize for this delay and kindly ask for your understanding. Our goal is to ensure we deliver a well-crafted, thoughtful experience rather than a rushed release.Thank you so much for standing by us at every step of this journey and helping us shape the game with your constructive feedback. ❤️
