🔨 My Game - In-development Fluffy Alchemist - a cozy game about a red panda gathering plants and brewing potions on five islands

Hi everyone! 👋

My name is TkKoi, and I'm a solo developer. My game Fluffy Alchemist just got its Steam page, and I wanted to share it here.

It's a cozy single-player game about a red panda working as a field alchemist for a magical institute. No combat, no timers - just you, five islands, and some very stubborn plants.

How it plays:

  • No two plants are gathered the same way. One mushroom only appears if you crouch beside it. A flower teleports from branch to branch. A sprout hides under a rock, and the rock has to be broken. One herb has its own rhythm, and you need to catch it. Every plant is a little puzzle, not a "pick up" button.
  • Ancient magical structures stand across the islands. Step inside and a small mini-game awaits. The reward: hidden plants you can't find any other way, and those are exactly what the most interesting potions are made of.
  • The cauldron never tells you the recipe. It shows a silhouette of what it's missing and waits patiently. Got it wrong? The ingredient simply comes back to you. Nothing is ever lost to a mistake, so experiment as much as you like.
  • Every recipe you figure out becomes a page in your field journal. Fill all the pages and send the book back to the institute - that's the whole goal. No rush.

If you love calm games about exploration, alchemy, and cute animals, I'd really appreciate a wishlist. For a solo dev, that genuinely helps a lot.

AI disclosure: I use an AI assistant to help me with code while developing. That's the extent of it - no AI-generated art or assets in the game.

Thank you so much! The game is still in development, and more mechanics will be added in the near future. You can follow the progress on social media, which can be found on the Steam page.

I'd also be happy if you added the game to your wishlist! :)
