Alchemy RPG is focused on creating an immersive, cinematic, and unique experience in your games. Everywhere you interact with tabletop roleplaying games: playing, GMing, world building, streaming, watching live games, and discovering new content, Alchemy is there to enhance your experience.
Browser & Performance
Alchemy App & Chrome
The windows Alchemy App is a Chrome browser wrapped in a custom window. So the performance of the Alchemy App functions seperate however exactly the same as the Windows Chrome Browser.
Firefox
Firefox is not officially supported by Alchemy as there are several small bugs that pop up using Firefox. For example setting the volumn slider to zero and then changing it crashed an Alchemy game.
Browser Wars
Most modern browsers based on Chromium should perform similiar for loading Alchemy. In a perrformance test Brave and Firefox did exceptionally well with no tweaking. The Alchemy App, Chrome and Edge did not perform well until hardware acceleration was activated for all three. Following this they performed similiar to Brave and Firefox. You should expect a load time of 2-4 seconds when switching scenes. If your system tanks with load times of 30 seconds or more you most likely need to activate hardware exceleration as this is not normal behavior.

Mac
Use the desktop app or a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Brave, Arc, etc.) for the best experience. Safari doesn't support motion overlays.
Memory
In my experience and tests Alchemy tends to lag on anything with less than 12GBs of ram and 16GB of ram seem to be the sweet spot.
Challenges
Currently the iOS platforms and device like the iPhone and the iPad do not support webp or webm which much of Alchemy is based on.
Pending Bugs
iPad: Cannot equip item for actions on NPC
