The Magical Mixture Mill (Steam) Full Release 1.0 Update (2024 March 27)

Hey, magical mixers!

We did it! We reached full release and because of all your great feedback, we are really really proud of the result. 

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 missing class origins are now also available and we think you will really enjoy their unique origin abilities.

There are also some new workstations and QoL changes that should improve the logistics of the workshop.

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!
