Greetings, potion magnates!
Another week has passed since we launched Potion Tycoon into Steam Early Access. We are amazed by the amount and quality of the feedback on the game and its specific aspects you’ve shared with us so far! Thank you for your ongoing support and please keep it up this way as our work on Potion Tycoon carries forward!
We know that the EA launch version of Potion Tycoon has been rough to many of you, with crashes ruining the fun and fluency of your playing experience. We are truly sorry about this situation and we have worked relentlessly this entire week to track down and address your reported problems as fast and as fully as we can!
Now we are finally relieved to let you know that the second hotfix patch 0.9.39 has just rolled out. We hope that it will prevent further game crashes occurring while moving and removing various rooms and equipment across your potion house and, apart from those, fix a number of other annoying quest bugs, UI and localization issues.
Please check out the full changelog appended below for further details.
Let us know if your Potion Tycoon experience has improved thanks to the patch - it’s our top priority to make it smoother for you with every update!
Bewitchingly yours,
Snowhound Games and Daedalic Entertainment
