Edit: After a weekend of work, I just added achievements https://lemmy.zip/post/69007248
It took quite a while, but it’s finally out. Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a “Support the developer” option), no data collection and fully offline playable. All you need is your phone and GPS :)
I originally made the game to go on walks, unfortunately I sat even more in front of my PC to develop it. It is what it is. Hopefully it motivates some of you to get your steps in 💚
General idea of the game: Collect ingredients, brew them into potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold and reputation you get you can buy things and decorate your neighborhood. Other players see the same map and resources (so you can indirectly play together), but the game world fully belongs to you (singleplayer only).
General roadmap right now:
- Adding achievements
- Adding buildings you can improve over time (tavern to attract merchants and an ingredient tree you need to grow)
- More minigames and improving the existing ones
- And of course bugfixes, please let me know if you run into issues :)
For any questions and suggestions I’m always available!
I’m on iOS so cannot try it out. Wishing you the best and looking forward to playing it on iPhone if you manage to get to that! Can you tell us more about the assets you’re using? I’m curious how you managed to get a cohesive look. Did you draw everything yourself? (Tip: look into adding ground shadows!)
Apple took two weeks just for the first round of reviews, but it’s finally out.

Not the newest content update yet, but hopefully in a day or two that will also pass the review :)
Let me know how you like it, a rating and review would be very appreciated! 💚
Looks great, thank you for developing it and for releasing it for free without catches! I hope that you will eventually release it for iOS.
Have you posted this to Mastodon or any other social media yet? I hope that word will spread and make your game popular. :)

Awesome, thanks! I guess they haven’t updated their search index yet, because I can’t find it on the app store by searching for wandering alchemist. I’ll download it and try it out as soon as I have a chance. Thanks again!
I’m always looking for a walking game, unfortunately I’m stuck on iOS. Do you use OpenStreetMap for your map data? I’d love to add your game to our wiki if so.
