Merry greetings, potion magnates!
Another week, another update! Because how could we let you start the holiday season without giving you a chance to enjoy it inside the game and catch the festive vibe while playing it? No, we couldn’t. And we won’t!
Make your potion house look so nice and cozy like never before, lulled by hypnotically floating snowflakes and coated in the gleaming white fluff. Dress your workers in jolly holiday outfits to further dip yourself in the cheerful atmosphere of the upcoming winter festivities!
But hey, that’s not all what this update brings you! Besides the holiday stuff, we’ve added a bunch of utility and quality-of-life improvements, most notably in the Alchemy Workshop, to let you concoct your celebratory potions with increased comfort. Please find the full changelog below and like always - let us know how you liked it!
As 2023 comes to an end, we wanted to thank each and every one of you for your unabating enthusiasm and continuing support of Potion Tycoon, and for all the feedback you’ve shared with us throughout this year. It did really help us shape the game and get where we are now. We wish you a great fruitful year ahead and hope to see you around in 2024, for which we are already cooking some lovely treats and surprises!
Best wishes!
Bewitchingly yours,
Snowhound Games and Daedalic Entertainment
