Hello everyone, We are happy to announce that Terroir has left Early Access with the current version 2.0 build. This build introduces quite a lot of new features, the most important being the new in-game tutorial, with VO and video - which complements the more detailed text tutorial already introduced in an earlier version. Another major new feature is the introduction of Automated Tile Workers, which allow you to set your vines to automatically be trimmed according to your settings by assigning a worker to a Planting tile. There also a few other changes, some of which are tweaks that improve balance, as well as other features that help the Player progress - namely, the tip that comes with wine reviews of less than 5 stars, which will tell the Player what went wrong with their wine. Here's a complete list of the changes in the build:

• Automated Tile Workers mean that you can now set your vines to be trimmed automatically according to your preferences by assigning a worker to a Planting tile.
• Fully voiced-over in-game tutorial.
• Tips given in the wine review when wine receives a rating of less than 5 stars.
• Players can now only accomplish each Circumstance mission once - when all missions are complete, Players simply gets a monetary and renown bonus every time they choose a Circumstance card.
• Changes to how wine price is calculated, as well as tweaks to renown cost for all technologies and maintenance costs for some types of grapes and tiles. The calculation for the final score has also been updated to include missions accomplished and wine awards won.
• New SFX.

Features

[/h2]
• Choose from a selection of different grape varieties, each with their own demands
  
• Dynamic weather system patterned after the Bordeaux wine region's climate.
  
• Each complete playthrough lasts 70 in-game years, but Players can continue playing without contributing to their final score.
  
• Craft wine through the game's 4 winemaking processes: Crushing, Fermentation, Pressing and Ageing. Each type of grape needs to be crafted a certain way to achieve the best results, so you'll have to learn and master each one.
  
• Start out with a single planting tile, then expand your Chateau to up to 33 tiles, using 6 different tile types. Some tiles affect the ones around it, so placement is key.
  
• Coming Soon: CHANCE & CIRCUMSTANCE: Terroir's random event and mission system. Players can open the Mystery Box and choose between CHANCE (a random event that could either have a positive or undesirable outcome) or CIRCUMSTANCE (a mission that a Player completes for rewards, or gets penalized for failing).
  
• Clean, minimalist design and gorgeous low-poly 3D models.
  
• Original soundtrack composed and performed by Singapore's CLARQuinet ensemble.
  
• Mac and Linux versions to be released in the coming weeks after EA release.

Put on your field gloves, grab a pair of pruning shears and build your Chateau literally from the ground up. Good luck, and cheers!
