Christmas Presents are now in the game! 🎁 During every December I plan on adding a Christmas update to the game giving players loot that can only be obtained during this period. Right now we have presents spawning under trees! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Before the new year starts I want to try add polish to the project before adding any new features. The desert temple now has an entrance requiring the player to search the world for skull shards! 💀 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Small Desert Upgrades! 🏜️ Recently I've been adding some smaller details to the desert level, it's difficult to decorate as deserts are usually empty but different rock types and foliage seem to be working! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0235

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

For sure! I was even thinking dual wielding staffs too maybe

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Loot can now be found in barrels! 🪙 Instead of every item being found in chests, I want to have different types of storage containers. Barrels will specifically store food while chests will have more rare items! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0214

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Desert Temple Work Continues! 🛕 A new section is in the game with a lot of coffins and statues. For this area I might add a bit more loot for the player before they enter a boss fight in a later stage. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

In Alchemy Antics I want to have some mystery story elements that aren't explicitly revealed to the player but the player can still find clues to what may have happened in the world. I wonder what happened to this wagon owner... ⁉️ #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0224

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

New staff added to the game! ⚡️ This is the rarest and strongest staff yet and will be found after killing the first boss in the game! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Update on the house interior! 🌟 Some new furniture models have been created which will also be helpful for other buildings in the future too. Still more to do on this house but it's coming along well! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Enemies now drop items when slain! ⚔️ This feature will give players an incentive to go out of there way to kill enemies to hopefully get better loot! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0296

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

New House in the works! 🛖 This building will actually be the first structure the player comes across and will be used for the tutorial at the start of the game. Still work to be done! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0234

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Enemy attack update! ☠️ I've now added better animations so that the enemies legs can move while attacking instead of gliding across the ground like they did beforehand. Small but important improvement! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

1224

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Chests now generate random items and we now have a rarity system in place for each item too! 🪙 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

0274

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

New staffs in the game! 🧙 Made some new staff models that can now be picked up and added to the player's inventory! Now need to add these to chests around the world. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Pickups Working! 🎉 Very happy with the progress made in the last few days with important features being implemented. I feel like I can now focus on more fun stuff which I'm excited about! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

Level Generation Update 🛠️ I've recently worked a bit on how structures spawn on each level. Beforehand I had issues with buildings overlapping with each other but now they seem to be spawning a bit better! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0234

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Drag and Drop feature working! Inventory system is feeling good, now need to implement saving data which will be a whole other challenge... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Rabbits are now in the game!🐇 The levels are really coming together and it's nice to see how different everything is looking since the start of the project. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Another inventory update! 😁 Equipping different items is now complete as well as consuming food to regenerate health. In a few more days it will (hopefully) all be done! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0236

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Small farming areas now added to the game! 🥬🌽 Will be continuing creating different crop types as these will also be consumables. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Today I have a few new snow biome updates, I feel with the snow particles that the environment feels a bit more colder now. 🌨️❄️ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

0225

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Inventory implementation continues! 😁 A big part of this project isn't just making and adding things to the game but also learning HOW to make things. Inventory has been pretty challenging so far but with enough practice I shall get it done! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

0176

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Watch your step! 👀 Desert temple updates in the works, I also plan on having a boss fight with good loot at the end of this dungeon too! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Thanks you, im having fun trying something different!

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Skeleton attack animations are done!🎊 I don't have a lot of experience animating but this project has been pushing me out of my comfort zone a lot. Happy with the end result!😁 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

0204

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Small update, the skeleton enemy will now carry around a sword so they can actually damage the player. Now need to make an attack animation! ⚔️ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Today I've started on the inside of the Desert Temple.🛕 Pretty happy with how the first stage turned out and have plenty of ideas of how the rest will look next! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0216

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

We now have the entrance to the desert temple complete, now it's time to start on the inside. I'm still unsure if I want it to be procedurally generated or a set map. 🛕 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0225

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

Thank you, I want to make an underground area for it next!

000

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Still in the inventory making process, the tutorial I'm following is in the Zelda: Breath of the Wild style but once it's complete I'll be making it fit more in line with my game's style. 😃 Still a long way to go! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0275

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Today I worked on a small visual update of butterflies in the game. In the clip there are a lot of them but in the actual game they will have a lower number. 🦋 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Its a lil capybara but I do wanna add dogs as pets too in the future!

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

New skeleton enemies added to the game! 💀 Still need to make an attack animation and make them a bit more powerful but happy with how they are looking so far! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0223

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Recently I've started on a graveyard area that can spawn in levels.🪦 Still some work to do before it's in a good looking state! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

0193

Johnny | Alchemy Antics 🧙‍♂️ @johnnyboyle3d.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

To go with the snow biome I've added the weakest spell yet to the game, a Snowball. I want players to have to grind to get better spells so this will definitely be one of the first you find.❄️ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
