Greetings, Alchemists!

May has arrived, and our journey through BattleJuice Alchemist's Early Access continues with fervor. Here's a glimpse into what we've been brewing up for you.

Continuing from our last roadmap post for April '24, we're still knee-deep in the process of localization. Our publisher is currently hard at work getting BattleJuice Alchemist translated into the first batch of languages, namely Korean, Japanese, Russian, as well as simplified and traditional Chinese. It's a meticulous task, but one we're all committed to, ensuring that players from diverse linguistic backgrounds can fully enjoy the world we've crafted.

Now, let's shift our focus to The Well, the enigmatic new location we've been teasing. Some of you may have caught glimpses of concept art for it on our social media channels.



Nestled within the desert, The Well stands as a beacon of hope amidst the arid landscape. Its significance lies in the presence of the water spirit Undine, rumored to inhabit the central fountain, providing the city with its most precious resource: water.

The architecture of The Well is a testament to resilience and ingenuity. While not ancient, its design incorporates elements inspired by desert-dwelling civilizations, with sandstone, wooden structures, and ornate buildings adorned with red rocks from the surrounding desert. Shallow water channels intersect the city, traversed by small bridges, creating a unique and captivating environment for exploration.

Now, without further ado, allow us to introduce two of The Well's intriguing inhabitants.



Firstly, meet Willow, the scholar. Her appearance defies convention, sporting rare spectacles and elegantly floating robes. Always seen clutching a book and a feather, Willow exudes intelligence and curiosity in equal measure, embodying the spirit of learning and exploration that thrives within The Well.



And then there's Melvin, the Cleaner. Towering and commanding attention, Melvin's impeccably clean attire hints at his meticulous attention to detail. As a cleaner, he holds a humble profession. Initially, he appears calm and focused, but there's a craziness in his eyes that hints at something more. This intriguing edge makes it compelling to discover the role he plays in the city.



As you explore deeper into The Well, get ready to discover its secrets and form bonds with its residents. Keep in mind, though, that the folks here all have their own ways of revering the fountain spirit Undine. Balancing their needs and keeping them all content won't be a walk in the park.

This month, our focus remains on finishing The Well. We're implementing quests and working diligently to finalize the inclusion of all characters native to The Well into the game. While we're eager to share this new adventure with you, polishing and testing are necessary to ensure a seamless gameplay experience. As such, it will be a few more months before The Well is ready to be unveiled to our players. Thank you for your patience and support, and stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape the world of BattleJuice Alchemist!

We're happy to announce that BattleJuice Alchemist has been selected to be showcased at the prestigious WASD 2024 Gaming Expo in London, taking place from April 25th to April 27th!

This prestigious event showcases the best of the gaming industry, and we're thrilled to have our game among the chosen few!

The Well is the one place in the desert that has water – due to the water spirit Undine allegedly inhabiting the central fountain – and is intersected by shallow water channels, which can be crossed via small bridges.

Most of the city is made of stone, but there are wooden parts that are less permanent. Beside sand color, blue (greyish-blue in the BJA color scheme) can be seen and the red rocks from the desert may be incorporated to ornate architecture.



The city is surrounded by a not too high sand-stone wall. It is not as rough as e.g. the one surrounding Caribou Creek, which is made from individual stones, but smooth. The city is paved in most places. Due to the availability of water, there are quite a lot of plants here, not growing wildly, but in a park-like controlled fashion.

What is the historical context of this area?
Many years ago there was an event called the Turn of Times. All modern technology was lost. People had to reinvent everything and managed to get back to a technological state equivalent to nothing more advanced than the steam age.



This is the most advanced place the player has visited so far (and will only be surpassed by the Boiler Drum, where people have access to steam technology). Because of the Turn of Times, this can’t be an ancient place, so architecture does not have to derive from US architecture or known desert-dwelling civilisations.

But since these civilizations built the way they built for a reason, the architects of the Well may have come to the same conclusions.
