Coureal - Alchimical engine: Custom Immersive Elemental interaction

Immersion in video games is no longer just about realistic graphics.Players don’t just want detailed visuals — they expect meaningful, immersive interactions.They don’t want to see fire burning on water, or grass that doesn’t react to anything.

Do you want to boost the immersion in your project with dynamic, interactive elements?

Alchimical Engine is the ultimate solution to create interactive elements such as fire, water, ice, electricity — or even fully custom elements like dark magic, radiation, or anything you imagine.

Built with a fully data-driven Blueprint system, it allows you to define and tweak every aspect of your elements — no coding required.

With Alchimical Engine, you can:

  • Define core VFX, decals, and color behavior

  • Set custom lifetimes for each element

  • Build surface interaction logic (ice melting, fire spreading, etc.)

  • Define weaknesses and resistances for each element

  • Create element fusion rules (e.g., fire + poison = toxic flame)

  • Assign Element IDs to trigger scripts on NPCs or decorative objects

  • Control propagation limits and conditions

  • Customize propagation with:

    • Foliage

    • Surface types

    • Pawns (characters)

    • Actor tags

And for more advanced effects, you can also:

  • Define terraforming parameters

  • Set terraforming areas

  • Use terraforming objects to spawn actors based on elemental presence

Whether you're making a dynamic environment system, a magic-based combat game, or an immersive simulation, Alchimical Engine gives you the tools to bring your world to life — element by element.
