Progress Update & more sneak peaks!

Royal Alchemist
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hi everybody! We hope you guys have been doing well :D

First off, we apologize that this month’s update is a bit later than usual. We’ve been working hard on the Extended Demo as we hoped to deliver it this month, but for the sake of some of our members’ schedules, we decided to prioritize the full game’s progress first!  

So, the release schedule for the Extended Demo will be set to be by the end of May.

What we’re still missing right now is only the proofreading for one scene as well as one CG coloring. Afterwards, we will update the script in the engine and give the game a few test plays! Since we’re covering a few new features, such as a new gender pronoun and difficulty settings, we want to make sure that there are no script errors and that the flow feels right.

Here’s our revised character creator screen!


Here’s a preview of our colored CGs that await you in-game!

Now, let’s move onto the full-game’s progress! All of the backer characters are done, although we’re still waiting for confirmation on our Commoner’s Representative!  

We’re presenting you these ladies first! :D They will all appear around Week 20 in the full release.

The scene writing for those backer characters are about 25% done. Our total word count, as of today, has surpassed the 100k threshold! Meanwhile, Aurelius’ romance route is almost completed, missing only 5 key scenes.

Our background artist has also done fantastic work for the full release! Here is another preview for you!

That’s it for this time! With the next update, we’ll also release the Extended Demo to the world! :D

Cheers,
Nifty Visuals
