As I announced yesterday, the Steam playtest is live now. If you would like to give the game a try, just click the "Request Access" button on the Steam page. I would really appreciate any feedback from the TIG community  I also just released a new gameplay trailer for the Steam playtest, I hope you enjoy it! |

As usual, your presentation skills are magnificent.
Please, If possible, do share with us the results when possible, wishlist conversions, engagement from players, what pro/cons feedback you received, what marketing approach, and all that delicious information.

> Craft flasks Wait... will there be... glassblowing in this game? In deed, there kind of is. At least you need to collect sand beside other materials to make any flask  |

Thanks for the praise! I feel like I can make look things pretty, but I don't excel at marketing. But I will gladly share results and numbers with you! |

Looking good! Sounds good too, is that synthy stuff the music you hear in the game too? Really like it! That boss in the video is the one we saw not so long ago, right? Nice to see it textured!

Thank you! Yes, the music is the game's soundtrack as well. Ingame, the individual instruments are procedurally arranged so the musics fades into the background at times and gets more expressive during fights. That boss in the video is the one we saw not so long ago, right? Nice to see it textured!
That is correct, this guy is a creature simply called the Nightmare. It has a quite fun story in my eyes and is the mini boss at the end of the playtests quest line. |

It is only a few hours until the launch of the BattleJuice Alchemist alpha playtest on Steam. You will then be able to click the "Request Access" button on the store page. More infos will follow very soon. Hey Alain, I have just managed to run your game on Linux using Steam Proton (experimental), which means I'll be able to play it soon and hopefully I'll come up with some useful feedback. In the meanwhile I would recommend you to do as logophil did and to post in Playtesting too as not everybody reads the this forum. |

That is so cool that you are going through the trouble just to give me feedback, thank you! I'm looking forward to your input! In the meanwhile I would recommend you to do as logophil did and to post in Playtesting too as not everybody reads the this forum. I am only familiar with the DevLog part of the forum and never digged into the other sections. I will make a post in the playtest section very soon, thanks for the heads-up! |

I'm really excited to announce that BattleJuice Alchemist will have its own dedicated booth at DreamHack Beyond, the at-home, all-digital interactive experience showcasing the best of DreamHack, Jul 24 - Jul 31. I always wanted to go to a DreamHack, now I finally get the chance to do so digitally. Tickets are free, I hope to see you there! https://dreamhack.com/beyond |

That sounds really cool, good luck! Thanks! The event seems to be quite unique: Dreamhack did not simply make a virtual exhibition space, but a real game that also showcases indie games. There also will be a Steam event tied to it. The game has a Rick and Morty feel to it and I'm looking forward to play it myself. I will spend today providing assets for the ingame BattleJuice Alchemist booth |

I took a quick break from fixing bugs and adding stuff to the BattleJuice Alchemist open alpha and had a little play session with Markus. He is not only a very good friend of mine but also has a German Let's Play channel focusing on strategy games, which you can check out here. I really enjoyed doing this and we will continue playing the next part of the story soon. Have a great weekend! |

Nice vid! Unrelated, can you see my comment on your YT video? I think I've been shadowbanned because I can't even see my own comments these days  (maybe it's because I use a VPN) |

Just watched it, really cool to see so much of it in action. You two were fun to listen to, and the game looks like it plays really well already! Since your devlog says it's at 60% now, what would you say those remaining 40% are?

Congratulations on the video!
It seems like the game is coming along solid. I am truly curious about your results.

I took a closer look and found your comment, but strangely I can't interact with it. It is in my list of comments, but once I click it, I end up at another one, so I can't reveal it. Hope you can figure out what is wrong with your account :/ Just watched it, really cool to see so much of it in action. You two were fun to listen to, and the game looks like it plays really well already! Since your devlog says it's at 60% now, what would you say those remaining 40% are?
Thanks for watching it although it is quite long The 60% were a bit optimistic and underestimated the amount of time polish takes. I fear the bar will stay at 60% for some more time until I feel I am at 60% (again). The remaining "40%" are adding more story content (including places, enemies etc.) and a lot of polishing Congratulations on the video!
It seems like the game is coming along solid. I am truly curious about your results.
Thank you, your support is appreciated as always! |

I'm guessing YT flagged me because I recently used a VPN to watch some videos - the VPN may also have been used by a bunch of trolls. Don't think I can do much at this point, you know how useless their customer service is.
Anyway, guess I'll just stick to commenting here from now on (but I'll still give the videos a like)

That stinks, but I hope your problem might solve itself if you wait. The likes are appreciated a lot |
