Take The Lead! (Jam Version)
The melusine Brumaire read in a book about the wonders of alchemy, she was especially dazzled by the prospect of creating something so shiny and rare as gold.
To do this she's going to need lead (and lots of it!) to begin her research. What better way to get lead than running a dog kennel? The customers just walk in and hand you their lead and then pay you on top of that.
Brumaire has been growing plants in the courtyard to use as ingredients for her magical concoctions, and has a kitchen oven in the back to smelt the lead down.
Can you help Brumaire achieve her dream?

Love it but I also feel very stupid lol. I am lost on what to do
Yeah sorry, I've been meaning to put out a post-gamejam version that has a clear narrative as well as button prompts but stuff kept getting in the way.
Once you crushed down the petals into pigments and have lead ingots, you should be able to press F next to the alchemy bench (bottom left of screenshot) to interact with it which lets you
painttransmute the ingots.Thanks for playing the game! <3
There's another game jam by the same community next month and I'm hoping to try that too.
EDIT: Just tried it, it's F next to the bench, not Q
Not gonna lie the gameplay loop could potentially make me lose track of time for way longer than I'd like to admit XD. super cute!
Great job with the animations/timeline, and I have to say the character is absolutely adorable.
Thanks so much! :D
If I had more time she'd have clothes and accessories (after quickly modelling the dogs and customers ofc), here's the concept drawing down below of her. I hope to work on a non-jam version of this over the next few weeks maybe after I've taken a nice well-deserved break .
PS: I took a glance at your profile and it's a shame you didn't participate in this jam, but it's even more of a shame because I actually played your "Krooked Shot" when trying out games after hearing that jam had just finished and if I recall it was in my top 5 for that jam.
