“It took us several days of moonlighting to perfect the algorithm and develop it and the site. “ solved the problem by finding a list of all the ingredients with their attributes, loading them into a database, then creating an algorithm that would match them all up according to the formula above,” says Bradicich. You’d either have to look it up online, or find and eat the 93 different ingredients (some of which are extremely rare) multiple times to learn their effects. In the game there are anywhere from two-effect to five-effect potions.”īradicich went on to say that figuring out the recipes in-game can be a troublesome effort. “…the attributes in bold are shared between ingredients so combining these in this example would give you a potion that Fortifies Health, Fortifies One-Handed, and Damages Stamina. Rock Warbler Egg: Restore Health, Fortify One-Handed, Damage Stamina, Weakness to Magic.
Hanging Moss: Damage Magika, Fortify Health, Damage Magika Regeneration, Fortify One-Handed.Giant’s Toe: Damage Stamina, Fortify Health, Fortify Carry Weight, Damage Stamina Regeneration.“When you combine ingredients you get a potion containing any attributes that the combined ingredients share. “Every ingredient that you can harvest has four attributes,” he continues. “It’s a little bit like those cocktail mixer apps where you put in all of the ingredients you have in your kitchen and it will show you all the drinks you can make.” Join gaming leaders live this October 25-26 in San Francisco to examine the next big opportunities within the gaming industry.įor those who have already dabbled in Skyrim’s Alchemy gameplay, or are more interested in the algorithem powering the app, Bradicich explains.
