Time, tactics & teamwork

01 / The game
A moment to plan.
A moment to act.
A three-character party. Active Time Battle. Magic with a visible place on the battlefield.
The Alcohol of Time is an RPG being developed by Studio Magisoft. Its current battle prototype brings together clock-belt magic, elemental techniques, party combinations, and a painted Clockwood setting.
We’re building the details that make a battle easy to read: an approach, a strike, a visible jump home, and the moment a creature falls. You can try an early battle demo here. It is a work-in-progress systems prototype, not the finished story game.

Edited development footage, not an unmodified gameplay capture. It includes staged technique demonstrations, adjusted shot timing, and music and sound mixed in post. The game and its animation work are still in development.
English captions (VTT)03 / The battle prototype
Built around
the next decision.
Features present in the current development build. Artwork, animation, and polish continue to evolve.
A special gets its moment
Technique-specific artwork slides over a scrolling painted backdrop. The introduction finishes before the action begins, keeping the attack visible.
Motion with a clear finish
Drawn idle, own locomotion, attack, and collapse sequences are being added across the roster. Grounded physical approaches return with a visible jump; appropriate floating and flying exceptions keep their own motion.
A changing Clockwood
The battle scenery has time-of-day, weather, lighting, and current-pose shadow presentation. The world clock continues while the cosmetic Stage Layout editor is open.

05 / The starting party
Three ways
to meet the moment.
Meet Cael, Katia, and Tessa—the prototype’s default three-member party.
Temporal duelist
Cael Caskrunner
A sword-wielding lead with storm and time techniques. His physical attack approaches the opponent, then returns with a drawn airborne somersault.
Chronal archer & healer
Katia Vintner
Bow techniques meet restorative support. Frost Arrow, Field Cure, and time-altering support give her different roles in the current battle catalog.
Alchemist-engineer
Tessa Copperstill
Flasks, copper bombs, and ember techniques bring an engineer’s approach to the party. Her current repertoire includes both focused and area attacks.
99/ 174
Development snapshot · October 13, 2026
The roster is coming to life.
99 monster entries are live-verified in the current animation record. Another 75 remain unfinished. Drawn or staged artwork is not counted as a finished, combat-verified kit.
This is an animation milestone, not a claim that the game is complete.

Giving magic a place on the battlefield
Clock belts, painted effects, and the importance of letting an action be seen.
99 of 174: drawing motion, not just moving pictures
What belongs in a full monster kit, and why staged art is not the finish line.
Moving the picture, not the rules
A new cosmetic layout editor keeps the battle’s logical formation intact.
