HTML Alchemist Mina [v0.5.0] [narlicious]

[narlicious]

I'm interested, but I hope it's not ALL beast... Or at the very least, not all horse and dog.

Can't do mammals, myself. The slime looks hot though.

Most of the conventional beast content (as in, horses and dogs and such) will mostly remain the focus of Philia. The other friends will have other focuses.
As for non-mammalian critters, I'll be honest that I haven't fully decided what creatures will be turning up in future locations but the plan is to go with things more fantasy.

Downloaded and watching, enjoyed what there is so far, only question, in the images folder there's one where she's getting blasted for want of a better term by the vine, how do you unlock that one in game?

You get that one if you forget to bring a bottle with you the first time you stroke off a vine.

Ah ok, guess that's what I get for trying to be a productive alchemist lol.

lets see what will come out of it

This seems interesting. I hope that down the line the ai art will be replaced by proper stuff.
I'm a fan of beast stuff, so I hope there will be scenes involving the protagonist and Philia together.
Do you have an idea for a plot? Like different endings or developments?

I would like to replace the art at some point, but as that would require some kind of funding I'm leaving that on the backburner while I get the basic framework in place and do the writing.
Don't worry, Mina will join in with Philia in their scenes going forward!
As for the overall plot, I do have something in mind. More of a long term idea however, though there may be some hints to where it's heading in future updates.

This could get interesting. There isn't a lot of content there yet, to be fair though. The few scenes can all be seen in a short amount of time. I do like the implications though on where this is going with mina and philia.

One thing I would love to see though is a method to revisit previous events that are not repeatable.

While I also would love to see proper art instead of ai (It's just way more consistent that way and looks better), I do understand the funding problem. So if they are meant as a placeholder until you get some donos in then I personally don't see any issues in that. But more content then that will defenetily help. I like where this is going though.

Damn, Philia's the hot one.

Ah well though, respect to you for actually parcelling things out and not just mashing everything into a slurry and hoping the niche stuff doesn't turn everyone else off.

Looking at the fifth image I assume there is an event if you dump enough 'Useless Goop' in the pit?
Because I dumped over 30 Units in there and nothing happened.

This image is not related to the pit. You get that by stimulating vines in the forrest without having an empty bottle in the inventory.

While the amount of goop you dump is being tracked, nothing has been implemented yet to do anything with that information. I have a few ideas, yet to decide on any given one just yet!

This seems interesting. I'm not a fan of being a female protag but I do enjoy tentacle monsters and slimes!

I don't mind the AI art. The main character is cute and so are all of her friends. I know everyone wants to support artists but not everyone can afford artists. AI is a good tool for people who just want to create.

Hi all and a happy new year!

Just wanted to let those interested know that there's a new update out on itch! I'll post the changelog here as well

Version 0.4.0 - A new potion!

This update comes with quite a few improvements in the background that should make certain things in the future a lot easier to do. Apart from that, there's also a fair amount of content!

• You can now view the version number and changelog within the game! Just click the version number on the start screen.
• Mina's friends can now be just as expressive as Mina in conversation!
• There's a new option on the Home screen called Memories. You can use this to replay main scenes that you've already seen. There's also an option to view any alternate endings a scene may have, though for now this only applies to the vine scene.
• Mina can now pick up some pollen after coaxing out some sap from the vine plant, assuming she has the energy for it
• Doing some experiments with the hints found at the library to make things clearer. Still not completely satisfied with this solution, so please provide feedback if you like the changes!
• Speaking of hints from the library. Make sure to re-read the slime hint if you've already seen it! There may be an addition at the end for a new potion recipe~
• New potion added!
• Two new scenes! One with Beth and one with Jessica. This potion will lead to more than a few more scenes in the future as well, probably, and not just with Mina's friends

Firefox tags the new version downladed from gofile as malware for whatever reason. I highly doubt that it is that, but just as a heads up. Pixeldrain causes no problems at all.

Perfectly said.
This is exactly what I think as well.

That is strange, considering it's just a html file and some images! I wonder why it would be doing that.

It's especially strage since not all mirrors are affected, even though it's the same files. Maybe something related to the host, idk^^

Nevermind though. The added content is nice and I'm really interested in what further direction this game goes.

might be your av's browser plugin triggering the alert, i use firefox with norton 360 and gofile download works fine for me with no warning
