Greetings, alchemists!In the previous devlog, we talked about the new type of ingredients we're currently working on for Potion Craft – monster parts. This time, we'll share a few more with you, and some monster parts with more advanced mechanics. Keep in mind that monster parts are still in development, and many properties may change over time – we'll be testing them in various combinations and listening to your feedback, so feel free to share your ideas and thoughts.Regular ingredients (such as herbs, mushrooms, and crystals) work in synergy with monster parts in skilled hands and help achie

Hello Alchemists! We're constantly working on a variety of new mechanics and content for the game, but today we wanted to share something special: we're developing a brand new ingredient class – monster parts!What's a potion without a bat wing, newt tail, or toad eye? A true alchemist should use every ingredient available, no matter how unappealing, to create the most powerful potions! Besides, the monster hunter has been itching for some work... Unlike regular ingredients, monster parts can't be ground in the mortar; they provide an immediate effect when added to the cauldron. For example, he

Greetings, Alchemists!We’re pleased to share with you today that the 2.0.2 “Hotfix” Patch for Potion Craft is now here. This planned hotfix ended up not being quite as ‘hot’ as we’d initially intended, as we had a few more things to fix than we’d originally thought (sorry!). We’ve fixed the most crucial bugs and issues, and tweaked the balance a bit – so if you’ve already finished a playthrough on Suffering difficulty, it might be time to do it again for even more of a challenge (don’t really do that, Suffering difficulty is not recommended for anyone!). We’ve also added some cool Steam Commun

Potion Craft: Alchemy Simulator has a great premise. Rather than focus on the medieval battles or town and country management seen in games like Manor Lords, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, or Crusader Kings 3, Potion Craft takes a more intimate - and slightly fanciful - look at one particular aspect of the past: Managing an alchemy shop. And now, despite having launched almost two years ago, it's just received a massive free update that adds in new modes and features meant to provide even more expansive options for making and selling potions.
