That Tetris mechanic really appeals to me.

Me too, me too. If you like "tile laying" puzzle-sim games, don't hesitate to check out https://colepowered.itch.io/concrete-jungle. Bah, what about the [superior wine-producing] German, or Great Lakes-and-surrounding landscapes? :)

I say this with great bias as someone who grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York and has an affinity for sweet andor smokey whites like Riesling and Gewürztraminer.

Abstract styles are WAY cheaper and easier to do, often scale better (including across time to the future), and could always be improved later. Plus, with the few mechanics we see, it'd be even harder to do.

Cheers! :-)

The graphics don't have to be of the highest quality, something in the graphical style and quality of Banished (the work of one single guy) would be fine with me. My problem is that the style doesn't resonate with anything I feel if I think of winemaking. I would wish for an overall more realistic style. In this regard the subtitle "Winemaking Simulator" is a bit far stretched in my opinion, as a simulator suggests (among other things) a realistic depiction. Anyway, only my two-cents.

Take your wine, don't rush it!

Do i get drunk while playing this?

Low poly works great for me anytime. Better than pixelated look, unless it is of a real high quality, like some modern pixel art adventure games (think Technobabylon). Then again, imaginative games like Eador: Genesis make up for looks with great gameplay.

scratching balls simulator awaited not long afterward

Will we get a wine test (=demo)? Looks interesting.

I was thinking the same. Demos help games that propose something new.

No, but there is the option to add one or more of the following: Kerosene, Propylene Glycol, Artificial Sweeteners, Sulfuric Acid, Rum, Acetone, Battery Acid, red dye#2, SCUMM, Axle grease and/or pepperoni.

Now something interesting might be selling your wines in regional and global markets. You might tailor your wines according to your strategy. Dunno if this game does that, but it could be great.
