About This Game

Mix Universe is a musical sandbox game where you play as a Mixonaut adding beautiful vibes to the universe.

Everything you hear and see is 100% real-time and editable in-game. It is designed with beginners in mind with tutorials and automatic vibe nodes to help make it so you don't need to know anything about music to have fun. For those who want to push it a bit further, you can edit each note, scale, and FX to get a node to sound exactly how you'd like.

DISCLAIMER: Mix Universe is NOT a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and also is not intended to be used for live performances. I view it as a game first, so a lot of DAW-like features are beyond the scope and vision of the game. The Mixes you create are owned by you, but you currently do not have a license to export them for sale. You are free to take videos and share the content on various social media platforms or stream your creations. This might change in the future, for any special inquiries please send an email using the contact form on the website.

If you run into any issues, please join the discord and lemme know! I am a solo-dev doing the best I can so every bit helps in terms of feedback!

Key Features

  • Create many different nodes and connect them together to play sounds and visuals.

  • Sounds can be chosen from a variety of built in libraries (Piano, Drums, Space Strings, Synths, and More)

  • Sounds can be altered by adding elements to them (Volume, Duration, Attack, Pitch, LFO, Filtering, Reverb, Delay, High Pass, Low Pass, Bit Crush, and More)

  • Nodes can be moved, rotated, scaled, and snapped to a grid.

  • Fully functional undo and redo system.

  • Allow sharing mixes on the universe using mod.io.

  • Aimed to be friendly to those who are new to music and music creation.

Node creation is super easy! You can click and drag to paint them down and they will automatically connect to their closest nodes.

Adding elements to nodes is as simple as clicking and dragging onto the nodes directly.

The entire node editing system is designed to try and make music creation as easy as it can be.

Every note can be edited after being randomly generated.

Drum patterns can be edited quickly and allows for a ton of variety.

All editing is built with multiple selections in mind.

There are other node types as well that are purely visual to help you make entire musical worlds!

After a mix is made you can save that and upload it to the universe directly in-game to share with the community. Then others can open up what you make, play it and potentially use it for inspiration to start something they create!
