Prairie Games, Inc is very pleased to present the first alpha release of the Minions of Mirth: Modding Kit!!! The kit features full modding support and is a HUGE improvement over the current modding system. There is a lot of work yet to do, documentation to write, and help to find, but it is ready for brave hackers Smile
