Hey Everyone!
This week’s post is going to be pretty short. In case you missed it, last week we gave a preview of what’s coming in the next Major Update - we’d highly recommend checking it out here:

Hey Everyone!
We’re back after last week’s Major Update! You’ve all been doing an excellent job of absolutely devastating the local ecosystems now that Hunting has been released, great work everyone!
We'll release a survey in next week's Dev Update to collect all your feedback.
Now that we’ve got Hunting in your hands, we’re ready to talk about the next Major Update. We’ve been hinting around the edges of this for a while, but yes - the next Major Update will inc...

Hey Everyone!
We’re back from our Winter break and we’re more excited than ever to be working on new content for Melvor Idle 2. Our last update before the break featured a small preview of the next Major Update, and this week we’re following up with a deeper dive into our next Skill!
We’re still getting back into the swing of things, so we’re not promising a release date yet, but we’re hoping to launch this update very soon. As usual, we’ll follow it with a survey to...

Hey Everyone!
Last week we launched a series of balance changes for Ranching and other areas of the game based on feedback from our latest survey, and so far we’re very happy with the results. We also gave some insight into our methodology and approach when it comes to balance in the Alpha, and how that’s going to change going forwards based on our experience with the last few major updates. We’d recommend checking that out if you missed it - it wasn’t published as one of these ...

You can now replace enclosures that have animals inside them. When attempting to do so, you'll be asked to confirm this action (Which yeets all the animals inside it).
Welcome to our first patch specifically related to game balance. These updates are designed around making sweeping changes to various aspects of the game based on feedback and playtesting.
We name these "Balance Updates", as they are too impactful to be called a Minor Update, and too small to be labelled a Major Update.
In this balance update, we are making some big changes to Ranching, the Grain Mill, Cooking XP and also GP rates.

Hey Everyone!
We’re back from our quiet week… kind of! Malcs is (allegedly) away this week, which means you’re stuck with me 😈 This is another pretty low-key post as we work away on our next set of content, so we wanted to take a look back at the most recent survey today.
As of today, Survey #4 is no longer accepting new submissions. We’ll be taking more time over the next week or so to properly digest the feedback, but we’ve...

Hey Everyone!
It’s been a couple of weeks since we dropped Ranching, which means we’re ready for our next Survey! But that’s not the only thing we have for you this week. We’re also bringing a status update on the most hotly anticipated part of the Melvor Idle 2 Alpha - Combat!
Let’s get right into it 👀

Hey Everyone!
Last week was a big one - a Major Update that brought the game’s newest skill, Ranching! We’ve been hard at work squashing bugs and keeping the progress moving on all of the others skills, systems and content that’s in the works.
We’ve had a lot of great feedback on Ranching already, and we’re looking forward to even more as you all progress through the skill. We’ll be posting another survey focused on Ranching and the Major Update as a whole in the near ...

Hey Everyone!
In our last post we gave a preview of MI2’s next skill - Ranching! That post is a pretty in-depth look at the upcoming passive skill, and we’re really excited about the feedback and enthusiasm we’ve seen for Ranching so far!
This week, we wanted to give a broader overview of everything that’s currently confirmed coming in the next Major Update. This could change a little bit - we might have some extra bits ready to go, but we might also find that some of this...

Hi, all! If you haven’t guessed from the title: this is my last week working on Melvor.
When I first joined Melvor back at full launch (October 2021), I had no idea how incredible the journey was about to be.
I’ve worked in a few gaming communities, and Melvor is by far the best. Y’all help each other out, create the best spreadsheets, and y’all have the best jokes. 🤠
I will never forget how Xow took over the Discord when we announced Melvor Idle 2. Al...
