Version 1.0.31 – 1.0.43

20 September 2026

  • A new first day: Old Silas's pointing hand leads you through every order at your own pace — nothing locked off, and no buzzer when you try something of your own.
  • For your first few days he asks at the end of each shift whether you'd like his help tomorrow, and he stays on through the night's maintenance too.
  • Tell him you're ready to go it alone and the Mixers' Guild sends your apprenticeship certificate.
  • You can now turn the adverts off for good with a single payment.
  • Run dry with the adverts off and you can buy emergency paint outright, or have it put on the slate and settle up out of the next delivery.
  • The inspector now writes down what he actually found — the leaks, the dirt and the worn parts, item by item.
  • Fixed: button clicks that sometimes went silent, and a jar that landed askew on its way to the lorry.

Version 1.0.28 – 1.0.30

17 September 2026

  • Every certificate is pressed with the Mixers' Guild stamp as it's handed over — never quite square, never twice the same.
  • Fixed: a crash on some older Android phones, and sounds that could cut themselves short.

Version 1.0.24 – 1.0.27

13 September 2026

  • Peek inside the parts shop, upgrades workshop and R&D lab before they open, and Silas will tell you how long the fitters have left.
  • Keep on top of your orders and new colours arrive sooner.
  • The upgrades workshop now opens bay by bay between days 10 and 15, and upgrades cost more, so there's always something worth saving for.
  • The trade board no longer posts a daily notice.
  • The Mixers' Guild reminds new mixers that there's plenty still to learn.

Version 1.0.21

12 September 2026

  • Old Silas's notes from the works now arrive when they should, and carry the works' own mark.
  • The parts shop, upgrades workshop and R&D lab now show from your first day with the day each opens, and Silas counts down to them in the night's report.

Version 1.0.20

10 September 2026

  • A new Stats tab: see how your takings and deliveries compare with every other works on the same day — the highest, the average, and your rank.
  • The trade board posts a notice each day: a colour it wants before the whistle, for a good word in return.
  • A pleased customer may offer a bonus — double a delivery's takings for watching an advert.

Version 1.0.17 – 1.0.18

9 September 2026

  • Old Silas can send word when the works needs you, if you'd like him to. Never more than a note or two — turn it off any time under Options.
  • The Mixers' Guild writes on your second morning: your apprenticeship is served, and the Certificate of Competence goes up on the office wall — the first frame of many.
  • Word arrives of what's coming — the drawing office, colours you can't mix yet, the licence.
  • Come back after a day or so away and the kettle's on. Silas picks up where you left off, and he's got on with something useful in the meantime.

Version 1.0.13 – 1.0.14

5 September 2026

  • Kalabux is out on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, joining Google Play.
  • The morning post is better at showing you the way on. The pointing hand arrives sooner, and straight away if you tap somewhere that isn't the pile of letters.
  • Clearer wording where the foreman explains that one pull of the lever fills both jars.
  • On iPhone and iPad, the privacy and tracking questions are now asked in a sensible order.

August 2026

  • Kalabux launches on Google Play for Android.
