Alchemist 0.0.2 is released!

Sulphur Memories: Alchemist
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The video contains all the changes since the last version. However, if you prefer reading to watching, I've compiled the list for you.

  • Main menu
  • Saving/loading functionality (still 1 slot per character, permanent death, game autosaves on exit and every several minutes on location change)
  • Additional options

UI improvements:

  • Colorful icons
  • Complete rework of ingame interface
  • Full support of mouse controls

Graphical improvements:

  • Proper tiling for roads, walls, etc to avoid stupid-looking perfectly square roads and walls.
  • Redrawn several tiles
  • Scorch marks from fire
  • Poison shader
  • Reflective surfaces like chains and mirrors
  • Floor is made less contrast, light sources have longer range
  • Transitions for movement between areas

Sounds and music:

  • 7 musical compositions
  • Sounds for many actions, including footsteps, potion effects, opening doors.

Story and dialogue:

  • Dialogue system is introduced
  • Tutorial is using characters talking now instead of message popups
  • There's also some story, at least the beginning of it.

World:

  • Hub area is rearranged and expanded. Tavern, stables, lonely tree are present now.
  • Areas like forest and ruins are separate from hub area and reached by horse from stables.
  • You learn their locations from the bartender, and can potentially learn as many as you wish. Game can be effectively infinite.
  • Areas now all have reward in the end.
  • Several new dungeon features added for more variety.
  • New enemies: wyrms, shadows, animated armors.

Trading:

  • Certain items (gems, gold, etc) can be converted into something that glitters.
  • You can buy items from traders (for now only from bartender) in exchange for it.

Items and abilities:

  • A lot of new raw items, several new alchemical components.
  • Potion of purity clears all status effects.
  • Potion of liquid chaos copies the effect of random other potion.
  • Potion of inner fire gives immunity to cold.
  • Potion of frozen time stops the time, giving you 10 turns to act.
  • Potion of corpselight summons a spirit that lights the area, gives you vision and applies freeze to everyone except for you.
  • Lockpick lets you open locked doors and chests safely.
  • "Push" action allows you to move certain objects and immobilized enemies.
