Today, I'm very pleased to release an update which sets the foundation of a new world generation in Alchemist's Awakening.
Here is an overview of the changes:
A whole new world
The world generation has been entirely rewritten, to allow more diversity and biomes.
Around 20 different biomes are now in the game, and more content will be added in the next versions.
Armors
Armors can be found in chest in the world. They provide extra resistance when you wear them, as well as a stamina bonus when using Light Armors.
Armors cannot be crafted, you'll have to explore the world to find them, usually in chest around big structures!
Mobs
Mobs have been improved and some new mobs have been added: Panthers, and Lava Golems.
A lot more is yet to discover in the game, remember to create a new world to get all the new features!
I'll be very happy to hear your feedback about these changes, and as always, thank you very much for your support!
