Credits
Alchemess: Tidy Up Your Potion Shop! was made by two people in Phuket, Thailand, with a lot of help from other people's work.
The studio
- Developer and publisher
- Techplay Co., Ltd., Phuket, Thailand — a two-person independent studio
- Store credits
- Dan Fury and Sunny;)
The studio asks that coverage credit Techplay rather than splitting the work between individuals: the two of them did all of it, in every discipline, and no per-person role breakdown is published. Alchemess is the studio's first Steam release.
The 260 potion names, the 26 shelf titles and every one of the 2,080 printed labels were written and set by hand. No generative AI was used anywhere in the game — all art, text and assets were made by the team.
Music
The 20-track score is licensed from Ovani Sound (Ambient Music Packs volumes 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11), played through the Ovani Music Manager plugin for Unreal Engine. Ovani publishes the packs under its own name, so there are no separate per-track composer credits.
The credit line is Music by Ovani Sound.
The full track list, and what the licence permits for streams and videos, is on the soundtrack page.
