The Magical Mixture Mill 1.0 is OUT NOW! ✨

Hey, magical mixers!

We did it! We reached full release after one year in Early Access and we are really really proud of the result. But we can’t take all the credit; without your feedback and suggestions we would never have gotten here, so thank you!

Watch on YouTube

1.0 brings a lot of new content and wraps up all quest lines, including the main quest which will lead to a new feature that should test your skills like nothing else: The Alchemical Society.

The rest of the class origins are now also available and we think you will really enjoy controlling your undead sidekick as a necromancer, charging fearlessly into any danger as a paladin, or turning into a sly little fox as a druid.

There are also some new workstations and QoL changes that should improve the logistics of the workshop and make you rethink your entire setup again (sorry).

Oh yeah, and Griselda now has a cat, Fiona.

All in all, we have spent a lot of time balancing numbers, polishing UI, fixing bugs and greatly improving performance across the entire game and we hope you enjoy it all!
