An Alchemist’s Tale [3.4 Alpha] [Captain Allegretto Games]

September 24, 2024F95

An Alchemist’s Tale is a lighthearted adult visual novel where the player takes the role of a village alchemist and general problem solver. Play as Allen Williams as he stumbles his way through the stories of various characters, helping them with their problems as much as he can and usually fucking them twice as much. Allen does his best to not burn down the house, walk in the giant footprints of his heroes, and discover his own place in a diverse world.

- one repeatable version with Janna and a stranger.
One scene with Allen in the wall.
Testing a new version of the gametime indicator, using an icon instead of time of day, will look wrong on old saves until you change maps.
New a new gatherable and new craftable items, these are all setup for Zeleshi Orcwife Quest start. I’ll detail them more next update.
Brought in some new plugins, the first for event spawning which should help me out a lot for some future stuff, the other for enhanced weather effects. Adjusted both for save compatibility.
Redesigned library and new Natalie sprite.
Decoupled some variables that were used in multiple animation common events so they can be used together.
Added a QOL map change to the trials of Gorra, there are now torches that indicate current puzzle progress and technically allow for brute forcing the answer.

V3.3 “Rich Bitch”

• Prisca introduction, conversations, house unlock, VN art, Unique Textbox.

◦ Occurs 14 days after game start in town center.

• Allen x Josie ft Chaska

◦ After viewing the Allen X Josie scene you may then invite the centaur to join you.

• Lis Feeding 1and 2 (Stag/Vixen Route)

◦ Triggers automatically in Allen’s home after some time, use the crystal upstairs to manipulate this if you’ve already started the other path or want to speed through the variations

◦ a lot of text variations between the choices and repeat (do each choice 3 times for the contemplationist sake)

• “Best friend hangout” Prisca’s arrival – Starts Prisca quests which is currently TBD holder.

• Replaced Ataian Silhouette with a static VN art.

• Added a section of The Matron which will be pivotal for 3.4 content.

• Fixed a bug in Jamie’s VN emotes that caused some a lot of them to be the wrong face compared to the independent one.

• Sprites and schedules for the Kollie family and their servants.

• Fixed a bug introduced in 3.2 that prevented new saves from triggering Llus and probably some other stuff. Redid a chunk of code and added save fix logic that will resolve it.

• Added a spinning clock to some locations where time can be passed. Part of an effort to generally indicate things better.

• Updated a bunch of the content warning icons with better versions now that I’m less bad at art.

• BTS updates to code/plugins for future use. Webm player working and added a multi-use common event for sfx looping.

V3.2 “Ashdown to fuck.”

• Maira Sex

◦ Offer Auto-triggers after maria quest and some number of side or character quests have completed. Reward for being a good helper around town. (Allen on top).

▪ Repeatable (or trigger-able for first time if skipped originally) as part of the Maria cooking scene.

• Maria x Zeleshi Tent

◦ Selectable option requires seeing base scene first

• “The Emberplate”

◦ After first leg of the “Champion of Gorra” Quest Allen will prompt the player to go into her attic to continue investigating.

• Lis Feeding (Monogamous Route)

◦ A debug crystal has been added upstairs. It allows for changing routes and variables. Changing routes will start that route from the beginning, this crystal will be removed once both routes have meaningful content.

• “Best friend hangout” The Wardens – Allen spills the beans about the swingers.

• Added a text macro subsystem and supporting code for Jamie’s pronouns, which will become adjustable once their story begins. Save update code defaults them to he/him as that is the game start position.

• Random Chance removed from carrot and nutt harvesting, new mini-game in their place, just a simple “click when bar is in the green” qte.

• Added a “Current stat:” notification during mini-games that scale to make it clear that they do in fact scale.

• Added a “Current strength: Irrelevant” to Zeleshi’s unwinnable challenge to make it more clear that Allen has made a mistake.

• Added more indicators for early Lisandre content, increased lust gain between handjob and next scene. To reduce max number of days until trigger from 10 to 5.

• Fixed a bug that caused BFH “Chieftess” to loop.

• Re-coded BFHs so that the notification now only appears when there is a new one to view.

• Fixed a graphical error where maria always has a sweat-drop

• fixed a crash in gallery for Jamie’s bakery scene.

Bakery Helper – Help Jamie out at the bakery like a good friend.
“Best friend hangout” cutscene – Cheiftess – The trio discus Allen’s poor life choices.
Jek standee art.
Integrated most artist signatures into scenes in the bottom left corner. Just to better credit people.
The “day/time” window will now disappear during scenes.
Added fail-safe code that prevents you from inceptioning yourself in the gallery.

Fixed a small bug in Rain tent scene that causes a crash when viewing the second time.

Main Quest continuation

Farmers daughter quest can be addressed by Maria at more times then just afternoon now.
Added some pretty dark bit of lore to a book, it has a trigger warning.
A lot of map changes. Two new maps, trials and ruins 2nd floor. Added a number of exploration clicks mostly to the ruins and Maria’s home.
Replaced main menu twitter link with bluesky.
Fixed a longstanding bug in the game files that resulted in strangely missing sections of one characters sprite sheet.
3.01 – Fixed a questlog bug that caused a crash after “Bedtime tails” quest was viewed after finishing it.
3.02 – Fixed a softlock that prevented entry to the ruins during Maria quest because it was looking for Greenquest conditions.

V2.9 “Bedtime Tails”

• Lis story continued: if you’ve reached the end of her content the TBD quest in your journal should simply be active.

◦ 4 cutscenes and 1 scene following this quest leading up to the decision point for her arc. Future Lis content will be split into what I’ve been calling the “Stag/vixen” and “Monogamous” routes. FOR NOW You will be able to change routes once either has content added so don’t worry about the decision yet just pick one.

• Rain X Zeleshi Tent scene – Unlock rain’s store and have 100 gems to open this option.

• Josie X Allen scene and quest – Unlock the equine potion and head to the farm to start.

• Allen X Wes – Available in the southwoods after Shelby makes her proposition.

• Wes VN Art added to all previous conversations.

• 4 New “Best friend hangout” scenes. These are short cutscenes where characters talk about recent events. I’ll hopefully be adding one or two every update. These four are: (Bilia first met), (Green first met), (Green questline finished) and (Zeleshi revealed).

• New scenes in gallery, fixed a problem where two entries where using the same variable.

• Added a “Fix screen” option to debug wand that should resolve most strange errors that can occur. (like screen filter remaining on after a scene)

• Fixed a bug where the fishing quest didn’t actually appear in journal.

• Fixed a bug where a bunch of switches turned on for no reason and caused some things to go out of sync. Saves will auto-fix themselves but If you viewed Bilia’s bad bet specifically it may act like you haven’t and give you the first time viewing again.

• Fixed some backend code for VN art to give me some extra control.

• A lot of little map touchups.

V2.8 “Some Content”

• Zeleshi Reward HJ scene (and Chieftess version)

◦ Offered in onsen after unlocking it and having a soak with Z.

• Bilia’s Bad bet extended

◦ Bring a strength potion and steal warren’s spot for public fun.

◦ Another alternative version can happen if Allen has finished the “Bar slut” chain of events with Warren.

▪ This alt gets better if you do it twice.

• Shelby Tent scene. As the other tent scenes but requires knowing about her and Wes’ relationship first. (Happens when you are able to trigger the equine potion scene with her)

• First “best friend squad” conversation. This will be a series of cutscenes between Izzy Allen and Jamie where they discuss story events while goofing off in the woods. Only the first one is right now but I plan to add one or two every update.

• Jamie VN art. Slow continued effort of moving characters that matter out of their silhouette era.

• Fixed some bugs, Notably:

◦ one that caused Bilia’s capstone scene to keep reoccurring.

◦ Added some blockers that should help prevent players from accidentally getting timelocked in the wrong time during greenquest.

• Expanded the gallery space and added a missing scene or two along with the new ones.

V2.71 “Femme”:

Lis quest continues.
Lis Ambush 2 scene.
Ambush 2 scene naturally occurs at the end of this quest. If you’ve seen ambush 1 the new quest should already be in your log.
Shelby’s Little helper scene. Triggers on the Trenar central stairs when Shelby’s relationship >= 9 and the player has an equine potion in inventory. (Patreon NTR poll winner)
New scenes added to gallery.
Izzy VN Art!
v2.71 – fixes a gamebreak that causes an event to loop forever when going to sleep. If you have v2.7 you only need the patch located in the mega/gdrive links.

V2.5 “Unnamed update”:

Llus scene (Previous content poll winner)
Llus sprite, textbox, home map, cut-scene, and silhouette all adjusted to match.
Zeleshi Chieftess route “offscreen” Tent Silhouette NTR scenes – 2 for now one sexy one funny, more will be added occasionally. Both scenes are ignorable if you don’t prefer the content type.
Green Tattletale scene – Alt version of existing Green X Zeleshi scene triggered during Chieftess route when asking Green to stop accepting challenger. Base scene got slight updates as part of this. Might touch it up again later.
Drinking in bar alone Scene 1 – Triggerable after all Warren bar-slut scenes seen.
Chieftess Zeleshi story cut-scenes.
Fixed two softlocks that could occur during Green’s Main Quest or during Bar work.

New scenes in gallery

Added some more facial expressions for Janna/Allen
Incorporated the QOL patch (2.32):

Developer Notes:

Walkthrough is located in the mega and Gdrive links.

Hey there, generic F95user!

So, long time lurker first time game dev. I really wanted to just be upfront about some stuff before/after you enjoy or hate this first release. This is an experiment and little passion project of mine I started up really just for my own fun. I have a well-paying full-time job and barring support for this being absolutely insane that won’t change anytime soon (though, you know, I’m open to the fantasy of it). This project is funded by me and donations on subscribestar/patreon, commissioning art from artists I like on themes and topics that I like. As of v3.0 $5000 has been spent so far with 2000 of that being from subscribestar donations, and 1000 from Patreon, the rest from my own pocket! If you wanna jump on one of those sites to support, the funds from there have so far all be spent commissioning more pieces of art for this project. Right now I’m do want to stress that I’ll be completing this project at my own pace. The main reason to jump on subscribestar/Patreon will be to vote on my priorities/participate in my discord where you can very actively bully me to write more about characters or themes you like.

Structurally I’ve planned this out so that individual character stories are largely independent. So, I can complete, expand, cut, or modify as much as I want without effecting the narrative flow overall. There will be as many of these stories as I see fit and feel I can fund before moving to the game-end story arc. I will also focus on making individual stories complete and get to the good stuff instead of the slow crawl of making them all crrreeeeeep forward one shower peek and hand-job at a time.

Also PLEASE DM or post any bugs you find so I can squash them, I’ll be as responsive as I can about that.

On Themes:

The themes in this game are based on what I feel MOST comfortable writing and working on, meaning the list may change over time as priorities and interests shift. It will definitely contain straight, futa on female/male, gay, numerous genders and shapes of characters, monstergirls/guys, transformation, romance, prostitution, voyeurism, exhibitionism, swinging, Lactation/pregnancy, Bad-end, and especially once endgame story starts some NTR. Various storylines will explore these themes to different extents.

On NTR:

If you’re based you can just skip this. Otherwise a brief addressing is in order. This is FAR AWAY AT THIS STAGE, BUT: The main bad guy of this game is planned to have a strong pheromone effect that threatens the whole town in a way that only Allen can stop. There will exist scenes where they can succeed in temporarily stealing your waifu’s while you seek a cure, this is dramatic tension meant to motivate you to stop them. You’ll be able to avoid this on most characters by intervening, Some minor characters will willingly or haphazardly fall to the effect (Rain and Shelby I’m looking at you). I will not entertain any demands to make it wholesale not exist, or remove it. It’s a story. If the bad guy doing bad guy things in a porn game makes you so angry that you will yell at real people about it you need to just not play this game from the very start. In addition, there will be some bad-ends that will contain NTR, at least 2 planned storylines that focuses heavily on NTR-style themes and several optional side scenes will explore the concept. Again, all will be warned for or have very direct “you are choosing to cause these characters to fuck” vibes when they get implemented. It is upfront about where it is.

On incest:

Not going to be in this game. Nothing against it and I enjoy a good “stuck at home with my hot landlady” as much as the next guy but this just isn’t that game. Though I have played with the idea of each character in the Williams family getting their own very different style of game. Allen’s relaxing gathering/craft/story, his sister’s action adventure, and his mothers save the world quest. If I ever introduce twins though they won’t count. Obviously, that’s just hot.

Thanks for reading my ramblings and I hope you enjoy my work.
