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 animated video guidelines, and then will enjoy a greater variety of playable game content along with a large number of balance and quality improvements across the board. Ultimately, they will get to learn the complete, uncut story of a humble shopkeeper's ascent to the top, culminating in the engrossing and decisive Royal Race events. And to top it all off, should they fall in love with what Potion Tycoon has to offer them on the first run-through, they will now be able to relive their potion crafting adventure at a brand-new fictional location while using a custom assortment of tunable management conditions and setups in the Custom Scenario mode.

We do hope that this final Potion Tycoon update manages to bolster positive impressions amongst you, as it has been made—as well as all previous updates to date—with our players in mind and tailored to your wishes with utmost attention and respect!

Last but not least, please check out Potion Tycoon 1.0 release trailer with the Early Access recap and accept our heartfelt gratitude for coming all this way along with us!

Farewell and take care, potion magnates!

Bewitchingly yours,
Snowhound Games

Greetings, potion magnates!

Have you ever dreamt of building a cult of your own? Not exactly an object of religious worship or zealotry, no. Rather something lots of people would exalt and enjoy to a great delight - a cult classic.

Well, either way, that is something we want to let you transform your potion empire into in the new major content update, released today.

As the name goes, building a cult following will be your next ambitious goal to achieve as potion shopkeeper, on the path to the ultimate triumph. It’s not going to be easy, but to facilitate the task we’ve introduced a bunch of handy late-game tools and options for you to seize. These include the long-awaited high-tier research unlocks, goals, VIPs, requests, events, and artifacts, along with some powerful alchemy, production and shop upgrades.

Enter the top flight now, reinforce your potion brand, earn dignitaries’ patronage - get one step closer to the apex, and just one step away from the final act!

Bewitchingly yours,
Snowhound Games

Merry greetings, potion magnates!

Another week, another update! Because how could we let you start the holiday season without giving you a chance to enjoy it inside the game and catch the festive vibe while playing it? No, we couldn’t. And we won’t!

Make your potion house look so nice and cozy like never before, lulled by hypnotically floating snowflakes and coated in the gleaming white fluff. Dress your workers in jolly holiday outfits to further dip yourself in the cheerful atmosphere of the upcoming winter festivities!

But hey, that’s not all what this update brings you! Besides the holiday stuff, we’ve added a bunch of utility and quality-of-life improvements, most notably in the Alchemy Workshop, to let you concoct your celebratory potions with increased comfort. Go check it out on Steam and enjoy a nice holiday discount if you still don't own the game:

As 2023 comes to an end, we wanted to thank each and every one of you for your unabating enthusiasm and continuing support of Potion Tycoon, and for all the feedback you’ve shared with us throughout this year. It did really help us shape the game and get where we are now. We wish you a great fruitful year ahead and hope to see you around in 2024, for which we are already cooking some lovely treats and surprises!

Best wishes!

There wouldn’t be a better moment to finally dispel the everlasting darkness that has reigned in the world of Potion Tycoon since the dawn of time. So welcome our brand-new feature, the day-night cycle, and let your potion house bask in the warm sunlight before plunging again in the soothing dusk!

Illuminating, isn’t it?! But if you want more ways to light up your tycoon’s daily life ahead of the upcoming holiday season, we do have some. Take pleasure in hosting social get-together events for each faction every few weeks, behold festivities and mingle with visitors. Enjoy the party time! Along with extra profit and special rewards :-)
