The game takes place on eastern zone of Issanis, while SOTW was entirely in Zoltar (the other continent) so no. But there are references with some characters from Loren 2 like Lydia (since she's a famous alchemist too).

More items, this time mushrooms (I just post 2 but I have 10 different ones!):

Thanks, as I said I won't probably use all the items or categories in this game (there are for example many food ingredients which wouldn't make much sense for an alchemist!) but since I was at it, I thought to commission a bunch of stuff also for future use

Oh great idea for a short form card game, have you ever seen the anime Shokugeki no Soma. It is commonly called Food Wars in the US, it is an Iron Chef anime with a really great story. Anyway a battle shonen with cooking as a theme just might hit the market really good over the next couple of years.
Just saying ...

I don't know that anime, but yes even here in Europe those cooking food shows are becoming very popular. I might do a food-related game in future

You've never played any of the Atelier games, have you? All the alchemists make food items, especially pies, in their magic cauldrons. (I'm playing Atelier Sophie right now.)

Yes I played Atelier Totori

Though I always thought alchemists are more into magic items, talismans, rings, etc. Making food... maybe enchanted food though

Obviously it depends on what kind of setting you're using, how serious or whimsical the tone of the game is. At the very least you could expect an alchemist to make poison though.

Amber is definitely more serious and has its good share of dark moments

(it's also fun in some parts though, don't worry).
Poisons are a good idea though. I will first need to think how the gameplay works. I was thinking mainly that customers would come and commission stuff to you, beside what you usually make and resell in the shops. But it's still at the early stages of design, so I could change something.

Wow, finished to code all Amber's expressions. It's crazy, since it has 4-5 outfit, the usual young/adult age (like most other characters of the game), alternate arm pose and facial expressions. Took me 2h
But now works:

Vin doesn't want to reveal her age, but doesn't matter. She's totally hot and I would definitely ban- ahem, court her

All I have to say is ... AWESOME!!!

That scene... So heartwrenching, esp. w/ how Amber calls Vin "Mother"...
But the music was phenomenal, and in the post above that--it's about damn time we saw some kind of expression on the Dark Elf's face!
And that's quite the cute smile that was given to her; my compliments to both the artist and to you on the coding, Jack.
CAN'T WAIT to see this available!!!

Amber is pretty deadpan but she does change expression on occasion.

I love Amber and her weird little things. Like why she (almost) always wear gloves, and so on

Jokes about Amber unable to tan with Lynn (so you see how CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE she is!):

Not sure, I wanted to get out Never Forget Me before this one... since that game is much simpler/easier, so I wanted to get it "out of the way"

Also I still need to officially release Queen Of Thieves, then Steam etc. Those things takes time.
Before end of year though should be possible!
