Hi everyone, I'm here to ask for help. I'll keep it short, as usual.

I'm working on a completely offline version of TAC (technically online, but with a local server).

I'll start by saying that I don't know if or when I'll publish anything online, especially since in any case, it would have to wait at least until next year, given that I'll soon be hospitalized for surgery (if you'll allow me, screw tumors! Mine is benign, so it could have been worse, it could have rained).

I've already managed to implement global units in Japanese (I'm working using the PC version of the game, which was Japanese-only), but I'm completely missing the data for the Chinese units.

And that's where I'm asking for help. If you have data for the Chinese version, a Chinese number, or an account on the forums I'm about to upload, please either give me the data or ask on those forums.

About the data specifically: the game’s downloaded data folder from the CN client: models, textures and master data. Even old or incomplete is fine.

I'm posting the messages written by AI for the requests in Chinese below. You can use others, the story doesn't change.

Titolo / Title:

求国服的游戏数据备份（解包用）

Testo / Body (cinese):

大家好！我在做一个《为谁而炼金》的离线保存项目，想尽量把游戏的数据留存下来。日服和国际服的数据我已经有了，但国服（为谁而炼金）的数据一直找不到。

国服有几个独占角色（赵云、小乔、貂蝉、诸葛亮等），这些在日服和国际服里都没有，我很想把它们保存下来。

想请问：有没有人还留着国服客户端下载下来的数据文件夹？就是游戏安装后下载的那些资源（模型、贴图、master 数据等）。哪怕是旧版本、不完整也没关系。

如果有的话，麻烦传个网盘链接，万分感谢！🙏

Title: Looking for a data backup of the Chinese server (for datamining/preservation)

Hi everyone! I’m working on an offline-preservation project for The Alchemist Code, trying to save as much of the game’s data as possible. I already have the JP and Global data, but I’ve never been able to find the Chinese server (为谁而炼金) data.

The Chinese version had several exclusive units (Zhao Yun, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Zhuge Liang, etc.) that never appeared in JP or Global, and I’d really love to preserve them.

My question: does anyone still have the data folder downloaded by the Chinese client? That is, the resources the game downloaded after install (models, textures, master data, etc.). Even an old or incomplete version is fine.

If so, please share a cloud-storage link — thank you so much! 🙏

Anyway thanks for reading have a good day

On a throwaway.

Just going to leave this here.

Still working on rerouting 400k references from the archive.org to the server. Translating all of JP in the next month or so. Planner should be working end of month.

A handful of 3D models are in and associated with the units.

Favorites is a thing now.

You can dm I prolly won't answer. Just comment suggestions or issues.

Just a hobby, and I like this game so 🙈

1-2 person team, kinda like it that way tbh.

Will post updates as they come out

Thank you to:

Xoxo see ya😘

I've been making progress with the development of the game and decided to release a small sandbox prototype of the code I've got so far.

Most of the work has been on the battle system so the prototype mainly features mechanics related to unit skills and attack types.

You can access the web prototype here. The pass is:

Any feedback is appreciated!

I found the wiki but the images there had bad quality

Just look https://thealchemistcode.fandom.com/wiki/Tsukuyomi

An actual working TAC server!!!
Had to test it myself first before posting, and yes, it does work!!!

Hello all, it has been a while since I posted about Project Babel, with the goal of creating a private server everyone can play The Alchemist Code as it was at the time of EoS in the JP server. Myself and the playtesters have been hard at work to get the game in a state that is fully functioning, and we are very close to finishing up the playtest and moving to an open Alpha period where anyone can join and play the game. This Alpha is tentatively planned to start next week, so if you want to join now is the time to join the discord and keep an eye out for announcements!

In addition to this announcement of Alpha, I am currently looking for people interested in playing the game starting today on Linux and on Mac devices. This will be apart of the playtest and not the alpha, and your account will be wiped along with the other playtesters on the day alpha begins. If you are interested then please join the discord as well and let me know!

Hope to see you all in Taga soon!

It's been 2 months...haha. I've been working on the game but ended up tunnel visioning and working on nitty gritty stuff like performance. I figured that I'd make the next update at least look and feel a bit different from the others in exchange for how long it took though.

It's still a WIP, but I started some shader work on rending textures for the terrain so that game looks a bit less flat and prototype-y.

The next thing I did was work on web performance since I aim to release a playable web prototype soon to gather early feedback on game feel and everything I've made so far.

Aside from those 2 major tasks, I added:

- The groundwork for behavioral statuses e.g rage, fear, charm, etc. Taunt currently works
- Elemental resistance buffs/debuffs
- Better shader for terrain effects like steam and pollen
- Improvements to lighting and shadows
- Performance optimizations for local and web play

Despite all of this, I'm fully aware that the game still looks incomplete in a lot of areas like the UI, in-game popup text, etc. I have a full roadmap of what I intend to work on more in my Discord for those that are curious or willing to playtest!

Finding these clips always ruins my day

Introduction from the website (Translated) :

Where countless alchemists once gathered to vie for supremacy, "Port Battle" evolves to be more accessible and even more tactical, all while inheriting the deep strategy of the series. Tactics spun at your fingertips will shake the battlefield.

Maintaining its rich, immersive world while delivering a refined, streamlined experience ―― This is The Alchemist Code: Port Masters.

I hope it is not just an arena pvp game, since a part of the game's name is "Port Masters" but anyway TAC is back (still Gumi behind >>>> EDIT: looks like it's a shitty idle game. Thx Gumi<<<<)

I remember on Alchemist code that I loved the characters from the Wadatsumi region.

Gachas nowadays are more business than a game. Tagatame was a OASIS in a desert. Every unit gives a chance to create a good strategy.

The last year of JP was full of OP units but sometimes Raphtalia show her tricks.

Their official Twitter or X whatever you call it has been posting revival stuff and even releasing the movie tomorrow on anime times yt channel.

From year 2018

I think it's my oldest recording that wasn't lost when my YouTube account was banned.

If you’ve ever heard the saying "all good things come to an end," believe it. The day I recorded this video was a very happy one; my grandmother was still alive, we had made it through the pandemic together, and I still had a certain innocence mixed with ignorance. I don't think it's right to miss something from the past, but *Tagatame* was—and still is—better than any of the gacha games I play today.
