Trade your beer in the surrounding villages and towns, store your beer for your own little brewers or use it to sway Lords and Bandits alike to win their favor. Made by a team that appreciates beer and respects the art of 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.

Although realistic, Ale Abbey has been developed under the premise of being zen and stress-free, so i…

- Our game Empires in Ruins leaves Early Access with a 20% discount - 25 March 2021
Even though I released Razerwire:Nanowars in 2018, and we produced Headbängers in Holiday Hell in December 2020, I have been working on Empires in Ruins, with ups and downs due to freelancing, since 2015. In february 2018 we released it in Early Access, and now, after 13 months, we are finally ready for the big release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/604510/Empires_in_Ruins/ Even though fully different in visuals and style from our already released games, we did craft Empires in Ruins with the same intent and passion. To create something unique, with character and personality. Even though it might not be your cup of tea, it would be awesome if you could give it a wishlist if just to help us gaining a bit more of visibility! If you like it instead, well, that's even better and you are welcome to buy it, play it, enjoy it and review it! See you soon, Cheers, Dr.H

- OBS in Holiday Hell - 7 December 2020
Once again, less than one hour to release, and once again, the legendary poop is about to hit the legendary fan! We've just been reported that on some machines, OBS makes the game turn super sluggish. It seems to be a problem between GameMaker 2 and OBS, but we are working on it. If by chance if experience that, and the game turns slow when you are recording or streaming, and gives an oily 30 fps feeling, could you please contact us? Write a comment in here or join our Discord ( discord.gg/eir) , your help would be priceless (on few computers only it happens, and unfortunately on none of ours!) Cheers, Dr.H
