Did you take a loan?

I found I had no money issues if I just took a little time over things. Once you can brew a beer and you decorate the place to get the comfort level to an ok place, you're making a profit on every batch that exceeds the financial drain of the bandits.

On the other hand, idling the time away with one monk researching while another brews, and sells repeatedly and you pass the time replacing candles and sweeping the floors is pretty boring.

I think the game has potential but needs a bit more going on to keep people interested. Right now there really isn't any need for more than two monks. On my second playthrough I recruited a third monk and most of the time that just meant one of them wasn't doing anything.

I like the brewing concept but it leaves a lot of downtime. Games like Stardew Valley find ways to fill the time while you wait, which I think this will need.

Yeah I feel this is definitely a game I would play but it feels odd that I cant seem to get through all the tutorials without taking a loan or having to wait a long period of time to get money. I have brewing a lot and I always seems to run out of money just at the cellar section and after

Taking out a loan is part of the game, and it works, all I did was take out a loan, sell a couple batches of Dark Ale which really pulls in the $$$ with a half decent quality. I used that to make a cellar AND a second brewery, then started making 2 batches of dark ale at a time, and the loan was payed off in full like 7 months early. Theres no shame in taking a loan to run a business! Take advantage of whatever a game will give you! I loved this game as a management sim, im pretty excited to get a full game of this myself!

I only took a loan to see how this system works. It is absolutely possible to finish playing the demo without ever taking a loan.
Just never stop brewing and selling, accept contracts, and you're golden. I mean, florin.
