Original postHey there alchemists, I've fixed a pesky bug that was causing players to lose gold when they exited the wardrobe.
The issue was related to a glitch in the game's code that was mistakenly deducting gold from players' accounts when they exited the wardrobe. I've identified the problem and corrected it, so you can now exit the wardrobe with confidence, knowing that your gold is safe and sound.
I apologize for any inconvenience this bug may have caused, and I appreciate your patience while I worked to resolve the issue. As always, if you come across any other bugs or issues in the game, please don't hesitate to let me know so I can work to fix them as quickly as possible.
Thanks for playing, have a nice day!

As new features, version 1.0 comes with the following:- Steam Achievements
- 50 new furniture
- Client role system
- Potion automator
*The translations are made by the community, so it is possible that they are still incomplete, we will complete them as far as possible..
It's been 5 years since the first prototype of the game!
The project started in 2017, as something experimental that unexpectedly began to grow.
The idea was very simple, a virtual place where you could create your own garden. At that time, game development was a hobby for me and my knowledge was not very extensive.
But a good number of people liked the concept so I was encouraged to update and improve the prototype.
I was like that for about two years, working in my free time, improving the game, graphics, mechanics and fixing bugs... But it was clear that the concept had a lot of potential and I didn't have enough time to dedicate to the game, so I took the difficult decision to quit my job and dedicate myself entirely to the project.
The decisive step, Steam
.
For the first two years, the game wasn't on Steam, as I was distributing it through other channels. But since the potential was there, I thought that launching the project on Early Access from Steam could be a good way to fund the project and reach more people.So, on October 18, 2019 I released the first iteration of Alchemy Garden on Steam.
The project was very well received, and from here I want to thank each and every one of you who have supported the project, because without it today the game would not exist.
Things have not always been easy
.
I was hesitant to write this paragraph or not, but I think it is good to be honest; it has not always been easy to work on the project.
There have been very hard moments when I have had a lot of doubts, and during the development I have made bad decisions and mistakes.If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the longer you drag out the development, the more complex everything becomes, and therefore the more likely you are to make bad decisions.
I am aware that the game has undergone many changes over time, some changes have been well received and others have not been at all. I just want you to know that during every minute of work invested in the project (which have been many) has been with the intention of making a better game, even if sometimes it didn't seem so.
What next?
The game at a conceptual level still has a lot of potential; pets, co-op mode, more zones, deeper interactions with NPCs, new costumes and a long list of ideas that would never end. Everything will depend on the reception of the project by the community in this new stage.
If the game receives enough support, it is possible that the world of Alchemy Garden will continue to expand. But for the moment I can't confirm anything, what I am going to do, with your permission, is to take a little vacation :D I'm sure that after 5 years of work without rest it will be good for me!
THANK YOU
Thanks to each of you for being part of this beautiful journey.
To my couple, for their unconditional support and for being there for me in difficult moments.
To all those who have helped me in the development.
To the community of translators, I am indebted to you!
To the Twitch community, for your company and advice.
To those of you who liked the game, I will always be grateful and will carry you in my heart.
To those of you who were disappointed, thank you for giving it a chance, I hope to do better next time.I hope you enjoy the game!

After 3 years in Early Access, the time has finally come to release version 1.0 of Alchemy Garden.
When
The launch will be on December 12 18:00 CEST / 12:00 EST. At that time the game will become completed and its price will be updated from $8.99 to $12.99.
What's new at launch?
Most of the content is already available in the beta version, but I have prepared additional content for the launch:
- Steam Achievements.
- 50 New furniture including beds, chests, counters and much more.
- Potion automation system.
- Role system and trends for our store customers.
- Alchemy table improvements.
Will I have to start a new game?
No, your game will not be deleted. You can continue playing with your previous early access game. However, I strongly recommend you to start a new one to have the ideal game experience free of bugs and possible conflicts.
Will there be more new content and updates?
The nature of the project allows for further expansion, however, it will depend on the feedback and response received during this new stage.
Alchemy Garden is a project that I am passionate about and I would spend my whole life improving it and adding new content, but as a solo developer I am eager to start new projects based on what I have learned.
Thank You
Thanks to the whole community of translators for dedicating your time and effort to help with the translations and thanks to all the community for being by my side during these 3 years, you have certainly inspired and encouraged me to get this far. I will always be grateful to you!

Preparing the new content

The idea is to create several thematic sets to add variety to the game, each of the sets will be composed of: Bed, Garden entrance, Fences, Store Table, Chairs, Shelf, Chest, Wardrobe, Lighting, Planters, Fountains, Chair and bench for the garden and small decorative objects.
This week I have started modeling a new set, here is a small preview of the models I am making:

Original postGreetings Alchemists!
The beta version of Alchemy Garden is now available on the main branch, which means entering the final stretch in terms of the project!
What is the difference between the Alpha and the Beta version?
Since its Early Access release in October 2019, Alchemy Garden has been in its Alpha phase. In this stage, the core of the game has been defined and developed.
Both the content and the stability have not been a priority since the game needed to have a good foundation.
During all this time many tests have been done, some mechanics have been liked more than others and your help with the feedback has been crucial to improve the game in all its aspects. I want to thank the entire community for your patience with all the changes that the project has undergone over the months.
Although I would like to continue adding new ideas and mechanics to the game, the project should not drag on forever, so I think it is necessary to move forward.
From now on we enter the Beta stage. This means that I am going to focus on making content for the game, ie: decorative objects for the house, the garden and new clothes. In addition, I will also prioritize bug fixes, balancing, in-game quality of life, languages, achievements, and trading cards.
These are the new features that the Beta version:
- New potion crafting system.
- The swamp area is available again. Totally redesigned, we can also buy a new house.
- Gameplay and economy balancing. Parameters for plant spawn in the environment, seed drop, energy cost, and all prices have been balanced.
- Added consumable fruits and potions. They will give us advantages in the game, replacing the level system.
- Improved watering system. Now we can water several plants at the same time!
- Changes inside the main house.
- New plants added.
- Interface Improvements.The interface has been redesigned with a new color palette to better match the overall aesthetic of the game.
- Improved Gamepad control.
- Several bug fixes.
Will I lose my save game?
You will not lose your game, you can continue playing with your saved game from the Alpha version. However, I recommend starting a fresh game for the best possible experience, as you'll likely run into some compatibility issues.
How long will the Beta phase last?
At the moment there is no definitive release date, but I would like to finish the game by the end of this year.
Thank you
We have just entered the final stretch of the project and I want to thank the entire community again for all the support received during these years.
It seems like it was yesterday when I uploaded the first prototype of the game back in 2017, since then I have dedicated all these years of my life to doing it as well as possible and learning from the process, I hope I have lived up to it.
Have a nice day!
