I’ve just released a patch for Potions: A Curious Tale that includes a bunch of wonderful quality of life improvements, including:
- “Autofill” crafting ingredients from a recipe
- Controls rebinding*
- Graphics optimization options
- Magical Card Book has a new view that shows 9 cards per overview page
- Updated art for Prince Charming and Calum MacDonald (the farmer)
- Granny provides helpful crafting tips when you craft unexpected outcomes
- Improved mana display on item views
- Improved lava area entrance visuals
- Increased font sizes for better visibility on the Steam Deck and small screens
- And more!
*Please note that rebinding mouse left click to other actions causes interaction issues, though you can unbind it. Use “Restore Defaults” in the Controls menu to restore left click interaction functionality.
As well as minor bug fixes including:
- Miniquest NPCs no longer will give unsolvable quests
- Fixed missing genie boss fight audio
- Fixed bug where you could freeze your controls interacting with the genie
- Crafting book now displays proper number of owned potions
- Saved dwarves run fully away from Grootslang
- Fixed environment sound artifacts in Farm 2 and Fairy Forest 1
Some of these changes touch a significant number of systems, so please let me know if you run into any bugs or other issues.
I also plan to enable Steam Cloud Saves once I get a greenlight from Valve that any old, possibly corrupt data has been removed from their Cloud Save servers.
Finally, as I have been working on the design and manufacturing of the Potions: A Curious Tale Kickstarter physical rewards, I decided to look into creating an item that I have dreamed of– a Helios plushie! I would love for everyone to have their own sharp-tongued feline companion at their side.
This design is by the extremely talented Julie Godwin, previously of Funko. If you would be interested please fill out this: Helios Plushie Interest Survey
Thank you again for your support, and have a magical week!
With Magic,
Renee
