This is Will of Alchemy, a game where you take on the role of a boy, descended from an alchemist that attempted to kill the Lord of Hell, 400 years ago.

 

Baal'Berith, the demon lord, has risen again to take over humanity for his demonic subjects.

 

Based on demons from the Ars Goetia, Will of Alchemy does its best to recreate demons as authentic as possible based on source material from the above book.

 

Join Renwald as he tries to reforge the blade once used by the alchemist in an attempt to rid the world of demons.

 

Features included:

 

1. An action battle system with RPG elements
2. A crafting system for making your own potions and armor
3. A music box designed for playing music you've heard in game already
4. An original 8-bit style soundtrack made by me, thepsynergist
5. 3-4 Hours of gameplay, featuring 6 dungeons.
6. Solve puzzles using tools found throughout the game.

This looks pretty interesting, I'll probably give it a try. Although I feel there's a large missed opportunity in not naming the main character Will.  :tard:

Oh no, I appear to have managed to softlock the game at the very start.

I went through the sword cave, went exploring in the screen below, went back to this screen and a message triggered that froze everything.

Edit: Okay, so it turns out diagonal walking is up to no good. Let me walk around the cutscene trigger here, possibly elsewhere too.

Edit2: Died to the first real boss after that, softlocked again. Oof.

 

Also are you sure it's okay to be hosting on itch.io? Since it allows paid downloads and this game uses assets from other games I'd imagine that's not a great idea.

It's set to be free, but you can put money down if you want.  I've seen more infringing games on that site that straight up force you to pay for it.

 

Also, fixed both bugs on the latest itch.io, so thank you for that.

 

If you don't want to download the whole thing over, here's the two files in question, just replace the ones in the /data/ folder in the root of the game folder with these:

There's my game being played by Vinny of Vinesauce.  Glad he liked it.

 

I'm also working on an expansion pack for this game.  Hopefully more people get interested in this game.
