Bewitchingly yours, Team Snowhound and Daedalic Entertainment Changelog v1.0.10 New: Potions can now be renamed by clicking on the potion name in Ledger/Products.

Fixes: Fixed a potential Pause/Resume problem if a tutorial module was triggered right before the daily report. Fixed the price of Raven Aviary accidentally being set to 0. It is now 50c.

- A Hotfix-Potion has been brewed - 7 October 2024
Hey everyone! Thank you all for your honest and helpful feedback, which helped us with this first hotfix. It addresses an issue with the Workers page in the Ledger where repeated skill filter toggles spammed unintended text entries on top of the worker list. Please let us apologize for any inconvenience, and while our testing pre-launch apparently fell short, we'll continue the bugfixing to further improve the experience. Bewitchingly yours, Team Snowhound and Daedalic Entertainment
- Potion Tycoon is leaving Early Access TODAY! - 4 October 2024
Greetings, potion magnates! It might feel like it was no longer than a fortnight, but it actually took us one and a half years to get to this point. And it was quite a journey, wasn’t it?! Bumpy at times—but hopefully not too much—for you, and a proper rollercoaster ride for us. But believe it or not, now it’s finally over! Wrapped in a shiny version 1.0 vessel with a handful of fancy embellishments on top, and carrying our letter of love and gratitude inside, Potion Tycoon is set to sail off the Early Access dock into the vastness of the Full Release ocean today! As for the newly equipped bells and whistles, we tried our best not to disappoint each and every recipient of our quaint brew—be they an ardent alchemy adept or an occasional passerby alike. Whoever removes the cork from the Potion Tycoon’s container, will first find a bunch of freshly overhauled “how-to” tutorials with animat…

Ultimately, we’ve overcome all our recent challenges and have got some great news to make it up to you! Potion Tycoon’s 1.0 content update, which among other things adds the long-awaited concluding chapter to the story campaign, introduces the “custom game” mode and sprinkles it all with a handful of yummy refinements, is finally ready to r…

Greetings, potion magnates! How’s your cult building going? We do hope you’ve been having fun with it and actually found more ways to enjoy Potion Tycoon after the release of the Cult Following content update.

Greetings, potion magnates! The latest major update has brought in Potion Tycoon a bunch of brand-new mania and disaster game events for you to live through and enjoy.
