Potion Tycoon’s 6-month anniversary update

September 14, 2023
Potion Tycoon's 6-month anniversary update arrived!

Greetings, potion magnates!

Yesterday marked the 6-month anniversary of Potion Tycoon in Steam Early Access! Looking back at our humble beginnings we admit that during this time Potion Tycoon has already shaped into a much better game – thanks to your active contribution above all else!

To celebrate this occasion we’ve got something special cooked for you – a brand-new game update along with a nice discount!

“Brick & Mortar”, our third major EA update, brings plenty of new content and long-awaited improvements for you to enjoy. But most importantly it adds a new location to start your potion business at – Floodlands. There you will not only find a diverse scenery to behold, but also some ample construction space to build your potion emporium within. Besides that you’ll be finally able to construct wider rooms and move entire premises around your potion house as you like.

Do be sure to check out the new trailer below as it highlights some of both new and previous game features and enhancements we have introduced during Early Access. And if you finally choose to join Potion Tycoon’s EA community, please, share your feedback and let us know how you liked the “Brick & Mortar” update. We are still as enthusiastic as ever and keep working hard to make Potion Tycoon the best game it can be for old and new fans of tycoon games alike.

Potion Tycoon is currently available for purchase on Steam. To celebrate the 6-month anniversary in Early Access the game is offered at a special promotion price until September 27, 2023.

Bewitchingly yours,
Snowhound Games

Potion Tycoon Announced!

September 13, 2021

This day has finally come! After almost one and a half year of silent but hard work, we are happy to announce Snowhound’s next game title – Potion Tycoon!

On September 9th, 2021, our publishing partners from Daedalic Entertainment officially revealed the game to the public by releasing Potion Tycoon’s teaser video on the web.

We all are but thrilled to get it over to you! It may be short, but we feel that along with the accompanying description it sets the right tone and lifts the veil over our new creation just enough to give you a clue what to expect.

“Have you ever wanted to manage your very own Potion-brewing industry? Build and develop your magic shop in Potion Tycoon, a management sim with a witchy twist! Manage resources, set up production, mix potions and stay ahead of the competition!”

Excited yet? You should be!

Check out the announcement trailer below. Do you recognize Snowhound’s brand comic art-style oozing from it? Enjoy how nicely it blends with the dark but playful Tim Burton-esque atmosphere we chose for Potion Tycoon. Also note that the video is heavily based on real in-game footage and artwork!

Like what you see? Make sure to wishlist the game on Steam and follow us on Facebook or Twitter for further details.

Stay tuned for more! Potion Tycoon will arrive on Steam Early Access in 2022.

Snowhound just turned 5!

December 1, 2020

Snowhound game studio celebrates its fifth anniversary!

Five years ago, on this very day, the first day of winter (a good symbolism, huh?) our little snow cub was born. It was silly and clumsy at first, but through all the obstacles, all the hardships, all the challenges, all ups and downs along the way it eventually got this far.

What a ride it’s been! Two published games to date and more coming soon – so far so good!

Thank you so much everyone who supported us during this years and enjoyed what we’ve been doing! There’s more to come and we look to the future with more excitement and optimism than ever. The story of Snowhound continues, so stay tuned!
