Dev Talk - Q&A Recap, Relaunch, and more!

In case you missed it, a couple of weeks ago we had our very first Monstronauts Dev Q&A session! We caught up with what we did last year, what’s in store in 2025, and of course, more details about our exciting relaunch in April!

Dev Q&A Recap

Looking Back at 2024


  • SEA-lebrate, an event celebrating Southeast Asian culture with a feast! We hope you had fun giving out yummy rice cakes to your patrons, and collecting the furnishing skins inspired by iconic landmarks like the Merlion in Singapore and the GWK Statue in Bali! This was part of an App Store campaign featuring games made from Southeast Asia, and we're proud to be part of it!

  • We added a groovy new patron: Prince Grof Toadfool! As the winning submission of our Character Design Contest in 2023, he graced the game as the latest royal. Check out his character feature video:
  • We hung up the twinkling lights and played in the snow with the return of the Winter Festival!
  • We ramped up our presence at physical events last year, and got to try out some cool ideas for booth designs and Potion Punch merch! Plus, we got nominated for the Devcom NRW Indie Awards and SEA Game Awards!

  • We launched our official TikTok (@potionpunchgame), so give us a follow! We’re trying to make more video content, and hopefully share more about what we do behind the scenes too!

Player Data

The most important change that the relaunch will bring is that player’s game progress will be RESET.

PP2 Player Data Migration

In other words, don’t worry too much about losing too much of your hard-earned stuff! You’ll keep most of the ones that were really hard to get, and the rest will turn into gems to get new stuff! This is not yet final and still subject to change, so let us know what you think!


We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but we promise it’ll be worth it!

Potion Punch Rivals

On the other side of the Potion Punch spectrum, we’re very happy to let you know that the Alpha tests last year gave us a lot of insight into how we wanna tackle the game!


Though we have shifted focus to Potion Punch 2, development on Potion Punch Rivals is still on our plate. We're planning something later this year, so stay tuned! For now, you can wishlist it on Steam to keep updated.

We hope that these changes will feel like a whole new experience while still being the game you know and love. We’re working very hard on this and are all very excited to bring you this update!


Can’t wait to see you soon, Keeper!
