Dear Alchemists,
First, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your patience and support throughout this journey. The past months have been an adventure, but we decided it was time to share something special with you.
We’re excited to announce that the first part of Act 2 is now open for you!
Explore The Well – A City of Secrets and Sorcery
Enter The Well, a sprawling desert oasis shaped by ancient magic and untold mysteries. Its narrow streets are alive with whispers — from scholars chasing knowledge to merchants hiding their schemes. But beneath the surface lies something deeper: a delicate balance of power bound to the city’s ancient fountain.
At the heart of The Well stands the fountain, its waters shimmering with life and legend. Encircling it are towering stone pillars, raised in rare and solemn ceremonies. But some believe these pillars hold more than tradition—they hold the key to unlocking forces that could reshape the city forever.
The Residents of The Well
The city’s most eccentric inhabitants hold the keys to its mysteries. Willow, the diligent scholar, is determined to decipher the glyphs of the ancient pillars, though her curiosity may awaken things best left undisturbed. Clementine, the enigmatic gardener, tends a cactus farm where life pulses unnaturally—her knowledge of the land is deep, but her methods are unsettling. Stan, the smooth-talking salesman, is always chasing the next fortune, but his ambition could open doors to ruin. And then there’s Melvin, the fastidious cleaner, who believes that only purity can keep the fountain’s power intact—his obsession with cleanliness may drive him to the brink of madness. And you also get the chance to meet an old friend.
Survival in the Sands
The Well is only the beginning. Beyond its walls stretches a wilderness where secrets slumber beneath the dunes. Ancient ruins and forgotten farmlands lie in wait, but the dangers here are as strange as they are deadly.
Brave adventurers will uncover treasures that defy logic—items imbued with strange abilities that can shift the tide of battle. As you scavenge the sands, you’ll learn new rituals, such as protective wards. The level cap has been raised to 50, allowing you to grow stronger as you prepare for the final confrontation. Each journey brings you closer to the truth—and closer to the battle that will decide the fate of The Well.
When the Pillars Rise
To uncover the truth of The Well, you must navigate fragile alliances, brave ancient dangers, and make choices that will tip the balance of power. When the final pillar rises, a long-buried force will awaken—and the fight for survival will begin.
What will you discover when the dust settles? And who—or what—will rise with it?
Act 2 is currently available in English and German, with other languages to follow soon, so that everyone can enjoy this new chapter in their preferred language.
Thank you again for your unwavering support. We’re excited for what’s to come and look forward to sharing even more with you in 2025!

Hey folks!
The release of Act 2 for BattleJuice Alchemist is slightly delayed, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some insights on a related topic: the art of dialog writing.
Team Collaboration
Our dialog writing sessions are like cozy gatherings around a virtual campfire. With the whole team we brainstorm the questlines for each story location. While we have a rough roadmap for such a location, it's the collective brainstorming that adds depth and flavor to our storytelling.
Arcweave - Our Storytelling Toolkit
Fellow MegaGrant recipient "Arcweave" is our trusty companion in this storytelling adventure. Think of it as a digital canvas where our narrative takes shape. With its nodes representing plot lines, dialogs, NPCs, quests, events, or basically anything you choose, Arcweave helps us visualize the story less like a novel and more like a hypertext or wiki. This is what the outline for the full story looks like:
It is very concise, just one screen from which you can always dive deeper.
Dialogs are written only by myself, not the whole team, but also in Arcweave. Dialogs for a location are organized like this:
The blue nodes are individual NPCs and their dialogs branch from each one with quests (the yellow nodes) and other events (orange nodes).
Dialog Crafting
Here's the twist: Instead of traditional dialogs, we opt for monologues where NPCs do the talking. The player just chooses one-word replies of our protagonist Juice. This way of writing is a challenge, sure, but it adds a unique flavor to our storytelling and reduces text length. We aim to convey Juice's thoughts and intentions through the responses of the NPCs.
And there you have it! Writing dialogs for BattleJuice Alchemist is a collaborative journey filled with creativity and imagination. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape our story. Until next time, happy adventuring and please don't forget to grab a copy / wishlist, or even leave a review, which really helps us out.
