Time to Brew Big, Or Go Broke! The Magical Mixture Mill V1.0 Announced for March Release! 

The wholesome automated potion brewing game will leave early access with magical new features.

Milan, Italy – 28th February 2024. Indie publishing label HOOK and developer Glowlight are thrilled to announce that their quirky automated potion brewing game The Magical Mixture Mill will fully launch for PC via Steam on March 27th

After a successful Early Access period, the team has been busy listening to community and fan feedback, working to implement fantastic new features packed with wholesome cozy potion brewing fun! As well as all the mystical content added during Early Access such as new Biomes, workstations, tools and quests, V1.0 introduces even more content to add to your bubbling cauldron. Fans can look forward to new class origins, workstations, new customer quests and a main quest conclusion, as well as numerous quality-of-life updates to help them brew up a storm!

Watch the release date trailer for The Magical Mixture Mill below: 

Any adventurer will tell you that Griselda’s Magical Mixtures is the go-to shop for travelers and heroes in search of performance-enhancing concoctions; be it to obtain mighty strength, incredible intelligence, enviable beauty or… less heroic needs.

Griselda, an elderly mushroom-loving witch, has always run the business with great dedication but time has taken its toll, and it’s time to train someone who can replace her. In short, her knowledge must be handed down and YOU – a former adventurer whose career was cut short by mixture intolerance – will be the perfect candidate!

Together with your goblin assistant, build automated production lines of alchemical workstations to provide potent mixtures to the local heroes, assisting them in their epic quests, and making you their favorite potion supplier. Explore diverse biomes and use your remaining adventuring abilities to gather and research exotic ingredients, leading to new mixing opportunities. Get ready to face all the “wax on, wax off” challenges Griselda throws at you to bring the shop back to its former glory!

  • Accessible, automated potion brewing – Create fully automated production pipelines from a varied catalogue of workstations to produce potions. Balance liquid ratio, maximize potency, pick the right ingredients, balance flavors and pour it all on the fanciest bottle you can craft to create the potion!
  • A Vibrant, Cozy, and Colorful world! – A mix of colorful illustration designs with a pinch of cheeky classic fantasy humor but still an alchemically-cozy experience. Different environments to explore and gather your ingredients. But be careful! Some flora and fauna will fight back…
  • Happy customers always come back! Especially if they are “hooked” – Not all heroes want the same potions, so take your time to get to know your customers. As they level up, their demand for stronger and more advanced mixtures grow, turning them into very loyal customers – and turning your pockets heavy with coins!

The Magical Mixture Mill will leave Early Access on 27th March 2024 for PC via Steam.  Follow the game on the HOOK official social channels:

ENIGMAS UNRAVEL IN NEW BLUE ARCHIVE EVENT “ACADEMY CLUB STORY”

Highlights:

  • Blue Archive fans will finally learn more about the mysterious Knowledge Liberation Front club as a brand-new story unfolds
  • Powerful new students, Meru and Momiji, arrive as members of the Knowledge Liberation Club
  • Players can partake in mini games to earn event currency and unlock event-themed rewards

SEOUL – Feb. 28, 2024 – Anime-style RPG Blue Archive’s compelling narrative continues with the mobile game’s latest event story, “Academy Club Story: A Pair’s Final Adventure.” As the story unfolds, players will get a long-awaited look inside one of the Red Winter Federal Academy’s mysterious clubs, the Knowledge Liberation Front, a clandestine, collectivist organization dedicated to maintaining the Red Winter’s library and advocating for freedom of knowledge. Guided by two formidable new students, Meru and Momiji, players can win enticing rewards as they battle their way through each stage of the event story.

The addition of “Academy Club Story” expands the ever-evolving world of NEXON Korea’s Blue Archive. In the tactical RPG, players assume the identity of Sensei, a wise instructor, and lead a diverse group of students in defeating adversaries that pose a threat to the academy city of Kivotos. As the story continues, players meet new students with unique abilities that they can recruit into battle. Blue Archive’s gameplay seamlessly combines strategic planning and real-time action into an emotional, immersive journey.

The ”Academy Club Story” event begins as the mysterious book of misfortune, Luna, makes its way into the library and wreaks havoc on the Knowledge Liberation Front club. To survive the rift, the club’s leaders, Meru and Momiji, must set aside their differences and work together to defeat the book and contain its evil forces.

Meru and Momiji are both powerful students to be reckoned with. A Piercing Type Striker, Meru uses her EX Skill to deal formidable damage proportional to her attack on a single enemy. Additionally, she packs a fiery punch and can continuously deal burn damage proportional to her attack power for 30 seconds, applying Weakness Detection, which causes opponents to take extra damage. Momiji,a Sonic Type Striker, uses her EX Skill to deal brutal damage proportional to her attack to enemies in a circular area.

Also, Red Winter Federal Academy students Cherino and Marina are making their return after appearing in the previous event story, “A Revolutionary Ivan Kupala: Mustache, Pudding and Red Winter.” To help new students improve faster, Nexon is implementing a Double Rewards Campaign until 10:59 a.m. PT on March 11.

Completing the event story battle stages for “Academy Club Story” will grant players event currency that can be traded for rewards such as Meru’s Interactive Manuscript Work Desk and Momiji’s Classic Library Chair. Players can also use event currency Tarot del Luna to play mini games in the Event Card Shop to earn rewards including Eleph and Artifacts depending on which card tier players get. Additional rewards can be obtained during the battle stage by recruiting students from Red Winter Federal Academy, the Gehenna Academy Prefect Team and the Trinity General School Library Committee.

Players can download Blue Archive for free on Google Play, App Store and Galaxy Store. For more information about Blue Archive, players can visit the official communities and the links below:
