Devlog #1. New ingredient type: Salts

Our team is working on lots of new features for Potion Craft. One of those features is Salts. Feature is still in development, but we can show you our progress so far.



Salt is a new ingredient type. Salts are different from herbs, mushrooms and other common ingredients: you don't have to add the full stack of ingredients into the cauldron. Sometimes it will be enough to add just one pinch.

[h2]Rotation salts[/h2]



There will be different types of salt, but first and the most common ones will be Sun Salt and Moon Salt (not to be confused with Moon Sugar!).

  • Sun Salt will rotate potion on the map clockwise
  • Moon Salt will rotate potion on the map counterclock-wise


[h2]Erasing and other salts[/h2]



There will be other salts. For example salt that will erase path on the map. We will come up with other ideas of salt with time, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to share it with us in the comments or in our Discord.

We will make more Devlog posts in the future, so make sure to follow our Steam Page (you will get notification in Steam when we make a new Devlog post).

[h2]About Potion Craft[/h2]
For all the new folks here, let us tell you more about Potion Craft!

You play as an aspiring alchemist who had to leave their hometown, as you wander the land looking for a new place to stay you stumble upon an abandoned cottage. From the looks of it, a wizard used to reside here long ago. You decide to make this your home and convert the place into a potion shop.
Your duties include brewing potions and growing ingredients in the Enchanted Garden, then using your ears and intuition to listen to customer’s stories and figure out just what kind of tincture they need.
Don't forget to test those bartering skills before handing over the goods, you work hard so haggle for every last gold coin!

[h3]Main features:[/h3]
  • Unique visuals inspired by medieval manuscripts and medical books.
  • Hyper satisfying physical interactions with ingredients and equipment.
  • Sandbox style gameplay where you have many different avenues available, and it’s up to you to figure out the best way to complete each task.
  • Sell your potions to the townsfolk while roleplaying as a noble artisan, a greedy weasel, an occult dark master, or whomever else you may wish to be!

[h3]Work with all sorts of ingredients[/h3]
Leaves, flowers, berries, roots, fruits, minerals, and a plethora of mushrooms are at the ready for your mortar and pestle. Just like espresso, the fineness of the grind matters!



[h3]Learn the art of potion making[/h3]
Concoct your potion plan. Grind ingredients and carefully mix them in your cauldron. Heat the coals. Boil and stir. Add the base: water, oil, or… something else. Congrats on your first potion! Was it easy to learn? Now try mastering it!



[h3]Experiment and invent new recipes[/h3]
Carefully plan your route via the Alchemy Map to combine different effects. Be mindful of common sense: you won’t find a market for a poisonous healing potion… right? Or would you?



[h3]Sell potions[/h3]
Every day customers will come to your store looking for solutions to their problems. You will face consequences depending on what you decide to sell them. Attract guilds, befriend notable figures (or feud with them), gain riches and influence - and one day, you may even decide the fate of the whole town.



[h3]Buy ingredients or grow your own[/h3]
Every alchemist needs ingredients. You can buy them from traveling merchants: it can be pricey, but successful haggling may save you some coin. Or you can just grow your own!



[h3]Get creative with customizing[/h3]
Want to give a special appearance to your best potions? Go ahead! Change bottle shape, label type, icon, and colors. You can even give it a custom name and label description. Carefully arrange your unique potions to showcase them on your shop’s shelves and tables… or carelessly throw them around - we’re not gonna tell you what to do, just have fun!
