Winners of the Potion Craft Fan Art Fest: Fall 2023!

Greetings, Alchemists!

As the cauldron bubbles down on the Potion Craft Fan Art Fest: Fall 2023, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the talented artists who've joined us this season!

Over the past few weeks, we've had the pleasure of enjoying your imaginative portrayals! From celebrations of Halloween in Potion Craft to the captivating stories of customers, along with many amusing crossovers that wove Potion Craft into various worlds, and the charming companions brought to life as alchemist's pets and familiars.

Now, let's celebrate all the remarkable winning artworks!

[hr][/hr][h3]Week 1: Halloween in Potion Craft[/h3]
Shadow.13 (Discord) has brilliantly captured a wild garden party in the Enchanted Garden, complete with a gathering of spooky guests!

"The alchemist invites you to a Halloween party in her garden. She has prepared some special
transformation potions for a party game. A wheel of fortune decides which guest gets which potion. You can become a vampire, werewolf, ghost, mummy, reaper, nightmare or blob. The effects of the potion last until dawn."




Blackdales (Discord) has crafted an alchemist who appears to be embracing the witchy spirit of Halloween, bringing a spooky atmosphere to her shop as she prepares for the festivities!



DefinitelyaCat (Discord) has conjured up a fascinating selection of eerie and unusual plant ingredients that promise to yield exceptionally potent potions!

"During the All Hallows' Eve, some strange and creepy plants grew up in my garden. I have a rare opportunity to brew very powerful potions. I'll just need to be careful - they can easily turn against one's intentions."



Duerme.luna (X and Instagram) has wonderfully depicted an alchemist in the midst of preparations, enticing customers with a special offer on pumpkins and Potions of Light!

[hr][/hr][h3]Week 2: A Little Story of One Customer[/h3]
In Waterspirit’s (Discord) little story, a customer's attempt to use a potion to cheat at the local fair ends with a delightful twist of karma!




In Shadow.13’s (Discord) little story, a man attempts to solve the mystery of his haunted house using a potion. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he is saved by the same ghost he's trying to banish!



SansaraDao (Discord) shared three little stories in one art piece, showcasing our regular Potion Craft customers and what happens to them after taking different potions! Can you guess which potions they used?




CaelusRex01 (Discord) shared a little story, in MP4 format, about a small customer with big dreams of becoming taller. Thanks to a stranger's kindness, her wish comes true, and she becomes the talk of the town!

You can watch the video here in the Potion Craft #fanart channel on Discord.

[hr][/hr][h3]Week 3: Sudden Crossover[/h3]
Heckin_flop (X, formerly Twitter) – Potion Craft X The Binding of Isaac



DefinitelyaCat (Discord) – Potion Craft X Inscryption



Clinically Chill (Discord) – Potion Craft X Darkest Dungeon




Reugine (Discord) – Potion Craft X Cult of the Lamb



Anne (Discord) – Potion Craft X My Neighbor Totoro



Dragonrais (Discord) – Potion Craft X Animal Crossing

[hr][/hr][h3]Week 4: Alchemist’s Pet[/h3]

Meet the trio of troublemakers by Waterspirit (Discord)!

“They can be helpful assistants when they want to be but are often found sleeping or accidently setting the garden on fire!"



Kamikaze (Discord) created an incredibly cute jackalope pet. Perhaps it's best to keep him out of the garden before he eats the alchemist's entire supply of ingredients!



Meet Moose, an Arcanamorph by PhoebeRose1200 (Discord), adopted by an Alchemist not too long ago.

The first image is from a creature compendium, which contains all the info about the species. The second image shows the seasonal changes to Moose's design in higher quality!




CaelusRex01 (Discord) created this adorable armadillo forager.
Meet Chesney the foraging alchemist sidekick!




And finally, DrOrange (Discord) discovered this rather unusual familiar growing in the garden.

"He is very helpful and seems eager to learn..."

First Ever 40% Off Sale & Upcoming Price Change



Greetings, Alchemists! We have some important news:

[h3]First Ever 40% Off Sale![/h3]
Potion Craft is having a substantial 40% off sale from September 14th to September 21st! It’s a great opportunity for newcomers to jump into the world of Potion Craft and start testing your alchemical skills!


[h3]Price Change After The Sale[/h3]
Starting September 21st (following our sale from September 14th - September 21st), the price of Potion Craft will change to $20 USD (or your local equivalent) on all platforms.

If you’ve ever considered gifting Potion Craft to a friend or partner, now’s the best time!


[h3]Why Change The Price Now?[/h3]
When we initially launched the game in Early Access in 2021, we shared our intention to raise the price upon the 1.0 release. However, we made the decision to postpone this raise. Since then, Potion Craft has evolved significantly since the first Early Access version (and even more since the early Demo/Playtest versions)! As we actively work on developing new content and features for upcoming free updates, we believe the game is now ready for this price change.


[h3]What’s Next?[/h3]
The future of Potion Craft is looking brighter than ever! Our team, although small, is hard at work crafting a wealth of new content for you. While we might not release content as fast as some, please know that we're dedicated to creating the best possible experience for all our alchemists.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming up next in Potion Craft:
  • Quality-of-Life & Optimization Update
  • Console Releases (PlayStation and Nintendo Switch)
  • Garden 2.0 (includes garden management, new rooms, and more features from our Upcoming Features List)

[h3]Thank You, Players![/h3]
We’re incredibly grateful for your unwavering support. Whether you’re active on Discord, social media, or taking part in community events, creating amazing mods and tools, contributing to the wiki pages and spreadsheets, sharing your honest feedback and chatting with us, the devs! Or for those of you who simply enjoy playing the game and brewing exceptional potions. Your support helps shape this amazing community, and we're looking forward to crafting even more magical moments with you in Potion Craft!
