- Devlog #31. Monster Parts: New Mechanics - 7 October 2025
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 achieve amazing results! For example, giant toes, per our current design, will allow you to increase the path size of the next added ingredient, while rat tails will decrease it. Toes and tails affect not only regular ingredients but also other monster parts – for instance, you can use them to change th…
- Devlog #30. Monster Parts - 16 July 2025
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, here are some effects we've discovered so far (these are subject to change or refinement as we continue our research): a mimic's tongue can copy the effect of the previous ingredient added to the potion, an eye reveals an area of the map around the potion, a brain collects experience within a certain…
- Patch 2.0.2 and Steam Community Items are here! - 26 June 2025
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 Community Items, like cards, avatars, backgrounds, and more – keep reading to find out more! Of course, we’re still working on lots of other fresh content for Potion Craft, too – head to the end of the post to learn more about that.Patch NotesBalanceCustomers are now a bit more reasonable with their addi…

- Medieval storefront simulator Potion Craft gets massive free update - 6 December 2024
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. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Shopkeeping sim Potion Craft is the top-selling game on Steam Potion Craft, the surprise hit of the Steam Festivals, launches this month

New Talent Tree This update brings with it a whole new talent system, with over 5…
