[h3]Hello Alchemists!
We present to you a quite small (but impactful to some) Alchemist: The Potion Monger update!
Adding the French language, autosaves, and fixing some bugs.[/h3]
You can find out more below:

[h3]HIGHLIGHTS[/h3]
[h3]FRENCH LANGUAGE[/h3]

Thanks to the support of our Discord friend - EverSilver we finally managed to implement the French language into the game. Merci beaucoup!

[h3]AUTOSAVES[/h3]

The game now saves automatically at the end of every day (and night). Sleep-saves are still functional but autosave might prove useful if you forgot to use your bedroll or your game crashed before you did.

[h3]OTHERS[/h3]

• Steam Deck now works properly with keyboard and mouse

Thanks for your feedback on Discord as well as on Steam Discussions.
Again many thanks to EverSilver for the French translation!

[h3]Hello Alchemists!
We present the next Alchemist: The Potion Monger update! It's centered around improving the gamepad support and modifying the UI to work better with it.
As always seasoned with a handful of bug fixes![/h3]
That's Patch #9 - Improved Gamepad Support for you:

[h3]HIGHLIGHTS[/h3]
[h3]UI Improvements[/h3]

Many UI panels and the Almanac were tweaked to work better with the gamepad. You'll no longer feel that you're playing the keyboard and mouse game with your controller.

[h3]Vibrations[/h3]

Now all gamepad users' experience will be enhanced with the vibrations, accompanying them while using the tools, brewing potions, interacting with the game world, using potions, and many more!

[h3]Easier Interactions[/h3]

We improved interaction with small objects such as Red Eyes, Flies, etc. while using the gamepad. No more testing your nerves and reflexes while trying to interact with them!

[h3]OTHERS[/h3]

• Weapons no longer glow in the dark
• Japanese language unresponsive UI fixed
  
• Red-eyes no longer die when sleeping during the mission
  
• Contracts no longer fail to load when loading old save files
  
• Fixed issues with drawing distance
  
• Fixed issues with the emission on the lamps at night
  

Thanks again for your feedback on Discord as well as on Steam Discussions.
You guys are amazing!
