Great to hear from you! Your feedback has been really helpful. We're happy to roll-out the first update to our Demo. Here's what's changed:

• Merchant delivers the goods on hourly basis - no more long wait times
  
• Better resolution support for some less popular ones (16:10 and others)
  
• Minor fixes to the tutorial flow
  
• Time now stops when you read letters, recipes, and various pop-ups
  
• Typo and UI glitch minor fixes

Thank you for keeping in touch. We'll keep the improvements coming :-)

Best wishes,

Just in time for Wholesome Games Celebration, we've just launched the demo of our Alchemist Shop Simulator on Steam, and we're really excited to see people trying out our game. With this title, we're sticking to the traditional release scheme - no Early Access is planned. Instead - we're looking now at couple of months of additional polish before we announce the release date.

For that reason, all player feedback is extremely valuable to our little team. We're testing the game ourselves, of course, and we'll be working with external QA team before the release. This is not about asking you to help us ship to get rid of the bugs for free (although, bug reports are always welcome, too!). It's about getting your insight on the game.

Please comment on this forum thread with all your feedback:

• what do you like
  
• what dou you hate
  
• what you feel is missing
  
• what needs more love

... and anything else you feel like telling us. Or if you want to take a more direct approach, and come and meet us - why not join our DISCORD[discord.gg]?

Thanks so much, and we hope you enjoy our game!

PS. If you like what you see here, please make sure to wishlist the game! It makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE for a small indie studio like Kool2Play, and this is the best way you can support us.

We're happy to announce that Alchemy Shop Simulator will be getting a DEMO, and we already have a launch date for it. To make things even nicer, that said date isn't that far off. In fact, it's only 2 weeks from now! You'll get to set up your magical business as soon as August 15, 2024.

Make sure to add the game to your wishlist, as Steam now is kind enough to inform you that a demo has launched for a game, that you've wishlisted. This way you'll make sure you won't miss it!

Wholesome Games is a community that started on Twitter when indie game developer Matthew Taylor began curating games according to their feelings of comfort, compassion, and coziness. As the official website states:

"One of the goals of Wholesome Games is to change how we think about which games are taken seriously. For many years, the most critically acclaimed titles have been the ones with the darkest themes and grimmest depictions of life, but there's also a whole world of hopeful video games with rich storytelling, innovative gameplay, and beautiful art and sound. We want to be a part of showcasing the breadth of experiences that games can have for players."

We are honored to announce, that this summer our Alchemist Shop Simulator has been invited to participate in the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration event, that will start on Thursday, August 15th, at 1pm ET (that's 10AM PST, 7PM CET, and 2AM on Friday in Tokyo!). Make sure to drop by - not just for our Demo, but also for dozens of other awesome games, many of them with nice discounts!

See you soon! Yours truly,

We're excited to announce Alchemist Shop Simulator, a game about running a magic shop and brewing potions, that we're working on here, at Kool2Play. We take the proven, super-fun and addictive retail management gameplay and put our very own spin on it, infusing it with potion crafting, comedy, and quirky clients. If you enjoy titles such as Supermarket Simulator and Potion Craft, our game is right up your alley!

The game is still in development - here's what to expect in the upcoming months:

• A closed playtest of the beta version, where we'll be looking for your feedback
  
• A public demo of the game with most of the features, but limited content
  
• A full release, with no Early Access stage - we plan to launch the complete game, and support it with updates based on your feedback

We're here to answer all your questions here, on Steam, but you are very welcome to join our official Discord Server and chat with us there, too! Joining us there will also be the easiest way of getting into the beta-tests. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Please add the game to your Steam Wishlist and follow it on Steam for more news!

Yours, Kool2Play
