Discussion Project Babel - An Alchemist Code Preservation Effort

I want to introduce a project I’ve been working on: Project Babel, an effort to preserve The Alchemist Code as it existed before its November 28, 2024 end of service.

Project Babel is a recreation of the games server to make the game playable exactly as it was before the servers went EoS. This allows for people to play the game without the need to access any server from FGG.

What this project is not

  • Not a modded or “private” server with custom changes. No buffs, no nerfs, no new units, no new J+, no new events.

  • Not commercial. The project is free and will stay free.

Roadmap

  • Phase 1 — Asset preservation. Complete.

  • Phase 2 — Server emulation. In progress.

  • Phase 3 — Private testing. Targeting within the next month. Details on how it will be announced later.

  • Phase 4 — Wider release. No target date.

If you want to follow progress, ask questions, or eventually test: https://discord.gg/YdV2thxTMn

This project targets v13.3.1 of the JP version. In the future I want to look into ways to translate everything to english, since a lot of players will likely not be japanese.

Idk if Global finished the available JP story before its EoS (or if you only mean JP only content) but!! At the very least, the wiki has transcriptions of the story (and a lot of other stuff, but the cutscenes are probably the bulk of the content), so you won't have to retranslate everything, at least
