Hello everyone and welcome to the Early Access release of Finnish Pub Simulator!

This is where the real excitement begins for us. Now that we have a solid base game we can focus more on bringing an authentic Finnish experience to the game for everyone.

We've already had some great ideas from players during the Feb 2025 Next Fest event but we're not gonna stop there. We want to hear from everyone what they want including in the game to give off the ultimate Finnish experience!

Please head on over to the Discussion boards where you can post your ideas, thoughts, and comments on what you would want to see.

We've got a long way to go and this Early Access release is just the first phase of things. We will be bringing many more updates to you and your feedback during Early Access will really help us shape the game and the experience.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

To celebrate the release, we will have a 10% discount for the first week of release :)

A new update for Finnish Pub Simulator has been released.

• Updated Finnish localization
  
• Fixed an issue where the Quit button (among others?) wouldn't render on the first time of asking

This is our final update before our Early Access release on March 13th!

• Added the ability to void remaining order items when looking at the cash register

This new feature allows you to hold down V whilst looking at the cash register (and a customer's order) and it will remove any unfulfilled items from the order and complete the order as is.

For example, a customer orders three drinks and two of them are out of stock. You can fulfill the one drink you have in stock and void the rest of the order. The customer will then take just the one drink you fulfilled and will be charged for just that one drink.

Customers will take note of items in their order being voided, and reduce their chance to reorder once they are done drinking.

If you void remaining order items when no items have been fulfilled in the order the customer will react as if they were refused service.

Looking forward to the Early Access release on Monday for everyone!

Thanks to everyone's feedback and videos since the initial release of the demo, we've been able to track down a lot of early problems. Please see the changelog below:

The big change is that brand new save games will now guide you through the first day via a tutorial, we will look into adding a setting to skip this entirely for those that are comfortable with the game and its mechanics.

As of now the demo is available to download and gives you a brief look into what to expect in the full game when it releases later this year.

In this limited-time demo, players can run their pub for two in-game days, serving customers, pouring perfect pints, and soaking in the cozy vibes of Finland’s countryside. Your save data will seamlessly transfer to the full game upon release!

Key Features of the Demo:

• 90s Finnish Countryside Setting: Experience the charm of a simpler time, complete with vintage decor and an old-school pub atmosphere.
  
• Pub Management Gameplay: Handle customer orders, manage stock, and keep your pub running smoothly.
  
• Two-Day Limit: Get a feel for the game’s mechanics and atmosphere before the full release.
  
• Save Progress Transfers: Demo save files will carry over to the full game, so nothing is lost. The perfect time for you to perfect your pub's layout.

The demo will feature the co-op portion of the game with no limitations. Got 8 of you wanting to cause some chaos in a Finnish pub? Now is the perfect time to do so!

Kiitos!

Just a short update from us as we all enjoy the holidays and get ready for the new year.


The first set of achievements has been added to the full game! Once the full game enters Early Access in March you will have 10 achievements available to collect to start out with. We will for sure be adding more as we progress through Early Access.


The next huge thing we've been working on whilst we get ready for our Early Access release is updating the game to support localization.

Right now good progress is being made on this and we estimate that around 90% of the work to allow for localization to happen has been completed and tested. We expect to get the remaining 10% done in time for the Early Access release of Finnish Pub Simulator.

Currently we can't confirm which languages will be supported on release other than English but what is available on release will just be the start. We will be able to add further localizations as we progress through our Early Access phase and beyond.


Just a reminder for everyone, the demo of Finnish Pub Simulator will be releasing on 13th January 2025 which is just two short weeks away!

That's all from us, make sure you've added us to your wishlist and we will see you in the new year!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I can't believe it's already December, time is flying by so quickly. We've got three things to talk about today.


Every bar tender needs his trusty wet mop. They're super versatile items. One minute you can be cleaning the floor, the next, you need to give one of your customers a good whack around the head with it.

See how great it is? Customer misbehaving? Whack. Customer queuing in the wrong spot? Whack. Need to give them a helping hand getting home? Whack!


The next announcement we have is that we will be participating in Steam's upcoming Next Fest in February 2025! It will be running from Feb 24th - Mar 3rd and it will give you an in-depth and hands-on look at Finnish Pub Simulator before it's Early Access release.

This is a great chance for us to get Finnish Pub Simulator in front of a lot of new eyes that might not have seen us before but have an interest in games of our style. We're super excited for the feedback we'll be able to receive during this week, and we'll be able to use that to shape the game in a more directed way.

There is some bad news relating to this however. We originally planned to release the game into Early Access in January 2025, however we had to be unreleased to participate in Next Fest. That sadly does mean we've had to delay the release until some time in March now.

To make up for this delay, we would like to give you a demo version in January 2025 instead!


For us to participate in Next Fest we needed a demo available of Finnish Pub Simulator, and so we'll be releasing one nice and early for everyone to get their hands on. The current release date for the demo is set to happen on 13th January 2025.

You'll be able to play the game almost as if it was the full game, including the co-op portion of the game. We'll obviously have a few things reserved for the full game, and you'll only be able to play through two full days.

All won't be lost though, as any progress that you make in the demo will then be carried over to the full game once it finally releases. This is a great chance for you to get your pub layouts figured out early, and then you'll be able to get straight into the more important parts of the game sooner!



I think that's all we've got for you for now. We'll see you all at the demo release and Next Fest :)

Thanks everyone!
