Greetings Alchemists!
First of all, we wanted to thank you for all the feedback and support received during the last months, without your help this project would have no reason to be.
This update comes with an important feature: the third person mode. Next we will go into details:
A NEW POINT OF VIEW
Now we can choose between playing in first person mode or third person mode and see our character.
We hope that the new third person mode will make things easier for all those players who suffer from motion sickness or who want to experience the game from another point of view.
ALCHEMIST CUSTOMIZATION
Personalization is at the core of the game, and being able to see our alchemist in the world opens up a window full of customization possibilities.
When starting a new game, we can customize the appearance of our character in the following aspects:
- Skin, eyes and hairstyle color selection.
- Different types of faces.
- Different hairstyles.
In addition, François Toupé will offer his styling services in the town to change our appearance whenever we want, as more hairstyles and faces for our alchemist will be added in future updates.
CLOTHING
Different pieces of clothing have been added that we can combine, at the moment they are available:
- Upper part.
- Pants.
- Footwear.
*In future updates we will also add hats, the reason why they are not in the game yet is because we haven't had time to implement them correctly, so we have decided to postpone them.
Patchy Goldthread has decided to open her own clothing store in town, so we can buy new pieces of clothing for our collection. In future updates, more pieces of available clothing will be added.
COMMUNITY TRANSLATION
- Cédric Gauché (CdriX) has collaborated with the French translation, thank you very much!

Next Update
Starting today we will work to improve the gaming experience in the following aspects:

We sincerely hope that you like this update, thank you very much to all for being part of Alchemy Garden, we are delighted to receive your feedback and we are waiting for you at Discord, where you can be part of our small (but adorable) community.
Kind regards
