Hey there!
Those of you following the BattleJuice Alchemist devlogs might have heard me talking about this for quite some time. Now it is finally here, our new beginning for the game, the big new tutorial level, "The Mountain Pass". We got some great internal feedback and now want to share it with the alpha playtesters on Steam. So let's dive into the content of the update.
General Notes
Update 0.19202 includes all changes from 0.18604 and above. Your settings will be reset upon updating to this version, but you can still play your old characters as always. To experience the new start of the game in the intended way, creating a new character might be a good choice though. By the way, we overhauled the character creation options as well, so you can create characters now that look a bit less weird. But just a bit.
Content
We usually split these patch notes into various categories like mechanics / items / enemies and so on. This time, let us just say we completely overhauled the start of the game. The experience is quite a new one, you get the chance to easily understand what the game and its quirky mechanics are all about. You get to experiment with various flasks from the beginning on, try the different types of combat and solve riddles before you start the actual story of the game.
After completing the new tutorial level you will continue your journey to play the first quests in Caribou Creek.
Those of you who are interested in more details can read the full patch notes on our Discord server or in the usual text file within your installation folder.
If you want to support us, please provide us feedback on Discord or anywhere else.
Have a great rest of the week and I hope you enjoy the new level!
