About this game
The Crystal Atelier is a cozy crafting and workshop-management game about turning rough materials into treasured masterworks.
Begin with a humble gem workshop and build your name one careful step at a time. Mine rough stones, chisel away the excess, wash away the grit, mend cracks, infuse elemental essence, and polish each gem into something worthy of a patron’s request. As your atelier grows, new paths open through alchemy, smithing, and higher guild recognition.
What begins as a small artisan shop grows through a long-form progression of craft, discovery, and refinement.
Key Features
Restore gems by hand
Take rough finds through a tactile process of chiseling, washing, mending, infusing, polishing, and finishing each piece for sale or commission work.
Run your own atelier
Fulfill guild requests, earn gold, invest in workshop upgrades, and shape the rhythm of a growing artisan business.
Expand into alchemy and smithing
Unlock new ways to turn gathered materials into potions, forged goods, and advanced commissions that deepen the core crafting loop.
Grow from small workshop to master atelier
Progress through better tools, richer materials, tougher requests, and higher guild recognition as your craft reaches new heights.
Manage a satisfying web of materials and decisions
Balance gems, dust, essence, reagents, orders, and upgrades while deciding what to restore, refine, sell, or save for later.
Craft in a quiet, unhurried atmosphere
There is no combat and no timer pushing you forward. A gentle soundtrack, ambient workshop audio, and tactile crafting sounds create a relaxed and focused atmosphere.
Complete a full artisan progression
Build your atelier from its earliest days to a masterwork legacy through steady progression, discovery, and increasingly prestigious work.

v1.1: Workshop Flow Update
Hi again! Thank you for playing my game and for sharing your feedback. It genuinely helps shape what comes next. I’m already hard at work on future improvements while continuing to review the game’s balance. I hope you enjoy v1.1, and I’m very excited to show you what’s coming next! This update focuses on making long Workshop sessions clearer, smoother, and less repetitive. Audio & Settings - Audio settings are now remembered. Sound volume, mute state, and music volume persist between sessions. Workshop Flow - Added Wash Satchel. Once you own the Copper Washing Basin, you can wash every eligible dirty stack as one bounded job, processing up to five gems per timed cycle. - Repeating jobs now display their current cycle, remaining items, current-cycle time, and an always-available Stop button. - Batch controls now clearly distinguish single, ×5, and Stack actions instead of using ambiguous “all” wording. - Stopping work preserves completed cycles while leaving the unfinished cycle unprocessed. Quartermaster - Added Quartermaster purchase quantities earned through progression: - ×10 unlocks at Refinement Lv. 22. - ×50 unlocks at Guild Rank A. - Buy Max unlocks after establishing the Master Atelier. - Added Quartermaster Supplies to the Workshop. Dust crates and essence samplers can now be purchased without leaving the workbench. - Bulk purchases use the existing per-unit prices, with no discounts or balance changes. Progress & Fixes - Reorganized Progress. It now opens with actionable upgrades and an Efficiency Roadmap. - Milestones, Atelier Path, collection rewards, and save tools now have their own remembered view. - Fixed newly unlocked Infusion elements sometimes appearing late during repeating Workshop work. They now appear immediately when the required Infusion level is reached. Demo 2 receives audio persistence, Wash Satchel, clearer active-work information, truthful batch labels, and the reorganized Progress screen. Higher Quartermaster quantities remain exclus...Read full article on Community Announcements (Crazya994)Patch NotesOfficial
v1.0.1: UI and Progression Clarity Patch
Fixed the Infuse workflow layout overlapping at larger Windows display scaling and in-game text sizes. This fix went live shortly after launch as a hotfix and is included here for the record. Fixed Garden locations not showing a newly unlocked gathering ground until the active Foraging task was stopped. Unlocks now appear as soon as you reach the required level. Optional late-game Hall commissions are now clearly labeled Optional. The Guild Board and Forge also explain when a commission requires materials from a later Master License, so an ambitious request cannot be mistaken for a required next step. Clarified Guild Promotion throughout the game. Rank requirements now explicitly name the Guild Rank, commissions that advance it are marked ★ Advances Guild Promotion, early-game guidance explains the promotion path correctly, and the Storefront notes that Customer Orders provide gold and Trading XP without advancing Guild Rank. Clarified that Dig Sites unlock through Mining Level, independently of Guild Rank. Fixed waiting Customer Orders making their active New reroll button appear disabled. The button was always functional; it now looks interactive.Read full article on Community Announcements (Crazya994)Patch NotesOfficial
UI Scaling Hotfix
Fixed an issue that could cause the Infuse controls to overlap the Grind panel when using certain combinations of Windows display scaling and the in-game text-size setting. The Workshop action layout now adapts more cleanly at larger interface sizes.Read full article on Community Announcements (Crazya994)AnnouncementsOfficial
