Greetings, potion magnates!

Long time no hear! We know that amid lack of Potion Tycoon updates in recent months many of you kept watching for them with growing concern, and we do appreciate your patience and your dedication to the game! While we had some good reasons for keeping a low profile lately—such as trying to figure out a feasible way to prolongue the Early Access Period with content - but ultimately not succeeding in doing so - and difficulties finding a suitable time window for its full release—we apologize for this prolonged radio silence!

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 roll and the game is set to leave Early Access in a matter of a few weeks!

Please stay tuned for more updates coming shortly—we will follow up with Potion Tycoon’s specific release date and a plethora of extra details on 1.0 update’s contents closer to the game’s launch!

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.

What we also know, however, is that alongside new cult followers the last update has infested your potion realm with more annoying problems to frown at and frustrate about. Some of those might have easily ruined a great deal of fun for many of you since last week.

We apologize for that and hasten to make amends for the damage it might have done, by rolling out a quick hotfix addressing all those new issues. Building a cult following is never a walk in the park, be it inside a video game or in game development, - we can fully acknowledge that. But however thorny is the path, we still believe it’s all worth it!
