Steam Autumn Sale + Merchandise Store Launch
The Steam Autumn Sale is now live and Shelter 3 is 75% off. What better time to jump in, embrace your best elephant mum self and raise babies in an unforgiving world? Were also ecstatic to finally be able to say that our very own merchandise store is now live and operational. This is the first time weve been able to offer premium quality items with Might and Delight prints but its been highly requested by fans for a long while now. Click here to visit the store page. On day one we offer a selection of t-shirts, tote bags and mugs - but we have mouse mats and notebooks on the way, and were going to listen closely to what our community would like us to expand our assortment with. The t-shirts currently on offer are labelled First Edition on the neck tag and there are only 1000 of them available for now. We might not produce these particular prints again once theyre gone, so dont miss out! With that we wish you a very pleasant day and holiday season. Talk to you again soon! Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Meadow Is Getting New Content and a Price Change
I hope you're all well. I come bearing news about Meadow, our online multiplayer animal roleplaying game (mouthful, innit?), which as you may know is set in the world of Shelter. Its been a good while since we gave you an update on the game, and as we approach the anniversary we thought we would touch base and let you know what the future for Meadow looks like - at least in broad terms. As many of you know we at Might and Delight have recently released Book of Travels to Early Access and rebuilt our team, and so weve also been able to allocate more staff and resources to the further development of Meadow. Whilst we arent ready to go into detail on exactly what we're working on today, we can confirm that we do indeed have plans for new features, quality of life improvements, stability updates, downloadable content and more for Meadow. In the coming weeks we will update and reveal the specific details of these plans and what it means for Meadow and the world of Shelter in general. The development of these new features has already started, as people may have noticed with our first beta release, but as this grows it will affect the overall production cost of Meadow, and so in the future we will raise the price of the game. This will also put us in a better position to support Meadow long term. Were expecting this change will be applied in early November, to coincide with new features being released. Exciting times ahead, friends! Again, youll hear from us again soon - so stay tuned in the meantime. Best, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

A Message from the Team
After the hecticness of launch we wanted to pop in and respond to some of your reviews and feedback. Thank you, as always, for posting them - good and bad! As some of you have pointed out, we did indeed design Shelter 3 as a different kind of game to its predecessors, and that was a conscious decision - we wanted to explore something new. Choosing elephants as our protagonists was an early expression of that direction: we liked that elephants are neither fast nor hunters and that their empathy and collective will make for characteristics we could design for. But in the end the game could work better, and this is a fact that can only be explained by the complexity of running development schedules for two games simultaneously. Without a doubt, building Book of Travels simultaneously has stretched our team wide and left some aspects lacking in Shelter 3. So we're here to say that we're genuinely so sorry to hear that fans have been disappointed (we hear you) and were incredibly grateful to those who have stuck with us despite the hiccups and deficits they found in their game experience. We hope it helps you to know that our first patch is already up and that we will continue with a scheduled plan of patches as well as bug fixes. Now, as previously, we value your feedback and will act on it where we can. But we should be clear that beyond fixes, Shelter 3 wont change much. We hope that your replay experiences will bring you more satisfaction... If youre one of the players who reviewed Shelter 3 well, thank you for spreading positive energies, as a growing and niche studio, we need and value your support in all its forms! Thanks again for sticking with us. Best Wishes Helen & the Dev Team

Celebrating our Littlest Hero Paws with a 50% Discount
We recently made an overview of all Shelter Games, but somehow we overlooked our special baby of the family Paws And since Paws is five years old this month, were celebrating with a discount and a little bit of lynx love! Those of you whove been to hell and back to save those babies in Shelter and Shelter 2 will be pleased to know you can go all-out cute and play as a baby lynx cub trying to reunite with their family. Paws is a small game with a big heart and is a much-loved favourite here in the studio, and this month this cub-that-never-grows-up is five years old! https://store.steampowered.com/app/434000/Paws/
The journey in Paws is a classic adventure that takes you to new friendships and more than the odd twist. Heres what reviewers on Steam say about Paws: Like any other Shelter game you find yourself overly attached to the characters and crying every time you either die or lose another. Great game, beautiful art, and touching story, 10/10 Charlie Foxtrot This game is beautiful and wonderful. Just from the beginning, you can tell that Might and Delight put lots of work into the designs and patterns in the forest. I say that this game is adorable and takes you on a little lynx's journey throughout her first steps. Get ready for a roller coaster! BCJImagine026 [previewyoutube=I9sn0ERcc2s;full][/previewyoutube]
To celebrate the littlest of our heroes as we gear up to set the biggest ones loose in Shelter 3 on March 30th, were sharing lots of Paws love on Instagram @mightanddelight and discounting Paws by 50% right here on Steam. If youre thinking of buying Shelter 3 and dont yet have any Shelter Games, adding Paws to your library will also set you up with a 10% loyalty discount (around 20% with the launch discount too!). [previewyoutube=I3Dso0dKnjg;full][/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/977630/Shelter_3/ And if youd like to talk more about animals, animal games or the world of Shelter we have a really great community on our Discord, so hop right in and say hi!

Hello Shelter Lovers!
As you might remember wed scheduled for release around about now Today our news is that were not quite ready yet, but were just a month behind so you can expect news of a date soon! In the meantime, refresh your appetite right here with our blog posts about Shelter music, Shelter books and whats what in the Shelter series - and for some Shelter freebies sign up to our newsletter.

Scoring Shelter Games
The release of Shelter 3 is just on the horizon, and in the third of our posts celebrating its predecessors, Shelter 3, were exploring the musical style thats such a huge part of the personality of Shelter games. And to share in full spirit, were giving away the full Shelter 2 soundtrack as a free gift in our Shelter newsletter. We could all use a little musical sunshine in these dark days! Take a listen to the theme song right here... [previewyoutube=_Pc3V85_ez4;full][/previewyoutube]
The soundtracks for all Shelter games are composed and performed by Swedish band Retro Family, who work in close collaboration with the developers. Shelters uniquely loose and live sound began as a quest for a sound that would blend nicely with the ambience of nature says Sound Designer Josef Tuulse, I also wanted to leave space in the spectrum for the calls of the badgers. We came up with a soundtrack that was quite heavy on the low end and shimmering in the highs, where the voice of the guitar can express freely and comment on the narrative. In life and in gameplay, intuition is what being an animal is all about, and an intuitive, emotive approach also leads the musical composition. Retro Familys Ulf Wahlgren explains: Jokke is very good at creating sounds and feelings in the studio, so it's more about that then the actual instruments for Shelter. The studios philosophy is to leave the player to interpret their play experience, and sound design plays a big role in setting that tone. As Ulf says, The music for Shelter is about 25% avant-garde, I always feel that this genre lets the listener decide what it feels like. White noise will be beautiful and soothing to some, yet scary and claustrophobic to others.
Due for release in quarter two this year, Shelter 3 will see the series move from tundra to jungle and from lynx family to elephant herd. So what might we expect from a Shelter 3 soundtrack? We want to give players all the comfort of returning to the Shelter universe as well as something new, says Josef, Elephants are big and heavy but also gentle and caring. It's our aim to give these same qualities to the music
Retro Family are Ulf Wahlgren, Jokke Pettersson and Alfred Andersson and are also working on music for Book of Travels which weve also featured in this weeks Steam post. You can watch some studio jams at Retro Familys Youtube and Instagram. Wed love to hear what you think about the music in any of our games - what do you like about it? What does it remind you of?

Four Books from the World of Shelter
A living book from the world of Shelter Fables from the Den is a living book using concept art from Meadow. The papery, watercolour aesthetic and atmospheric audio provide the backdrop to fables told by the animals from their underground den. Meadow players will recognise this den as the place where they select their player-animal and set out on an adventure see that den in a whole new light after reading Fables from the Den.
Owning Fables from the Den will unlock a 3D raincloud emote in Meadow.
Fables from the Den is currently just under $3.00 on Steam or comes as part of our Shelter Bundle (currently down by 85% in the Steam Winter Sale).
Comics about a lynx family from the world of Shelter 2 Told entirely with illustrations and emotes, Blossom, Symbols and Trails tell stories about a lynx cub and their family. These wordless comics were made by Lisa Richardson, a Meadow fan with a deep appreciation for Meadow emotes, after she shared her artwork on the Meadow community hub. Since wed made books before, it seemed that working with Lisa to make another was a perfect collaboration.
Symbols in your library will unlock the wolf in Meadow, while owning Trails also unlocks a wolf skin and 3D butterfly emote. Blossom unlocks a wolf and cub skin and a 3D counting flower emote.
Trails also comes as a free gift in part two of our newsletter. You'll need to install Meadow with the free key from your welcome email first. (Watch this brief video on how to access them) You can pick up Blossom and Symbols individually on Steam or as part of the Shelter Bundle deal.
A living book about bear cubs from the world of Meadow Take a look at the Lonesome Fog and youll see just what this we-had-to-make-it-up format offers the gently animated scenery really brings the wildlife setting to life. The story follows a small bear cub and celebrates the peculiar magic of chance meetings. Meadow players will know how central that magic is to the game and in this case, a chance meeting proves both a comfort and a secret treasure.
Adding the Lonesome Fog to your Steam library unlocks the 3D fog emote.
the Lonesome Fog is a DLC available on Steam for just under $2.00 and is also part of the Shelter Bundle.
A picture book about badgers from the first Shelter game The first ever Might and Delight book was made by the team to explore one of the main themes in Shelter, the circle of life. This simple story presents the simple and powerful logic of nature in one striking image but we wont tell you what it is! Take a look instead and then tell us what you think!
The Circle is the only book that doesnt unlock anything but the good news is that it is free to download right here. Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know us and our books. We hope you have as good a holiday as this world allows for this year, and we look forward to sharing more with you in the run up to release of Shelter 2 at the end of February so very close now! Best Wishes, Helen and the Shelter 3 team. PS. Don't forget to sign up to our Shelter newsletter and get Meadow for free as a signup gift. https://store.steampowered.com/app/977630/Shelter_3/ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/13317/Shelter_Bundle/?utm_source=Indie_Game_Bundle_93&utm_medium=Steam-Post&utm_campaign=Steam_Winter_Sale2020]

There are many things about Might and Delight that make us a little bit different, and one of those is that as well as games weve also made books. To date weve published five illustrated books set in the world of Shelter, they comprise two living books, three wordless comic books and a picture book. Today we want to let you know a little bit about them and show you how you can get some of them (almost all of them!) for free!

A Game Dev Journey in Three Animals
Thanks to the Book of Travels Kickstarter, we've seen many new players in the world of Shelter this last year, so if you're one of them (or even if you're a Shelter officiando!), we think you'll find something to like in this little guide. And in the weeks to come, we'll be sharing more stories and fun facts about the series. (And if you haven't already, you can wishlist the game with the button at the end of this post.)
Shelter was released in 2013, and was Might and Delights second release as a newly formed studio. You can watch the Announce trailer here: [previewyoutube=ifMWBd4CIZs;full][/previewyoutube]
We knew we wanted to make a game with an animal-player and wed intended to make something casual and somewhat quiet. In the end we had something that was both of those things but also very emotional, and it reached a much wider audience than wed hoped for. We had no idea wed be here, seven years later, working on Shelter 3! Andreas Wangler, Game Designer
I didnt care about my little cubs because the game told me to or because they were labelled my babies. I cared due to the way they followed me, how small they were, the little noises they made, and how quickly the hostile world around me took them away Wirdjos on Discord https://store.steampowered.com/app/244710/Shelter
Shelter 2 was released in 2015 from our current site on an island in Stockholm. [previewyoutube=Tk-1M1wNVDY;full][/previewyoutube]
Shelter 2 was an opportunity to explore a much less linear game design, instead we wanted to invite players to roam freely with no other goal than to rear their cubs to adulthood. We also wanted to introduce something a bit mysterious and otherworldly into the game Peter Strhle, 2D Artis
It's not just about motherhood and nature exposed in such a raw but gentle way, it's about the discovery of life through these young creatures whose life cycle revolves around finding their home, their Shelter Pencil on Discord http://store.steampowered.com/app/275100/Shelter_2/
Shelter 3s due for release on Q1 of 2021 - elephants are already roaming and testing is well under way. [previewyoutube=UmqrVpFa2OU;full][/previewyoutube]
Until now, Shelter games have focussed on animal families. With Shelter 3, we had a strong feeling that we wanted to make a Shelter experience thats more social elephants are incredibly sociable and that allows us to create a very different game experience Sofia Papworth, Lead Programmer
We're too early for player testimonies, but wed love to know what you think about our plans for Shelter 3 please drop us a line or two in the comments section here or join us on Discord! Did you know that there's also a multiplayer game from the Shelter world, called Meadow? In Meadow you can meet other players and communicate with emotes, but we'll save that for another post! ------------------------ We hope you enjoyed this little potted history please go ahead and let us know what your experience of the different Shelter games is in the comments section below! If you didnt find us through our brand new newsletter then you can sign up here. And if youd like to wishlist Shelter 3, heres the button! http://store.steampowered.com/app/977630/Shelter_3/
Helen and the Shelter 3 Dev Team x ------------------------ PS. We've made a bundle with all the released games and DLCs in the Shelter Universe it unlocks lots of skins, sounds and emotes in Meadow, and comes with a 50% discount you can check it out here!

Badgers! The very first Shelter game
Shelter was released in 2013, and was Might and Delights second release as a newly formed studio. You can watch the Announce trailer here: [previewyoutube=ifMWBd4CIZs;full][/previewyoutube]
What are its defining features?
- Shelter is a linear adventure where you play as a badger looking after her cubs
- The setting is both naturalistic and harsh threats and dangers are many, and bereavement is highly likely
- The games graphical style nature inspired geometrical patterns and textures sets it apart from other animal games
What the developers say

Lynx! Protect your cubs in Shelter 2
Shelter 2 was released in 2015 from our current site on an island in Stockholm. [previewyoutube=Tk-1M1wNVDY;full][/previewyoutube]
What are its defining features?
- Shelter 2 is non-linear and open world: expect a greater variety of story experiences
- Players meet a somewhat more gentle (but no less moving) ending than they do in Shelter
- Not all aspects of the game are informed by naturalistic observations mysterious occurrences feature
- As opposed to Shelter, food is a moving target, players need to hunt to stay alive
- Shelter 2 has a higher graphical profile and is the first Might and Delight game to be published on Switch

Shelter 2 was an opportunity to explore a much less linear game design, instead we wanted to invite players to roam freely with no other goal than to rear their cubs to adulthood. We also wanted to introduce something a bit mysterious and otherworldly into the game Peter Strhle, 2D Artis

Elephants! Lead the herd in Shelter 3
Shelter 3s due for release on Q1 of 2021 - elephants are already roaming and testing is well under way. [previewyoutube=UmqrVpFa2OU;full][/previewyoutube]
What are its defining features?
- The third in the series has players looking after a whole herd of elephants
- As a result, play will be slower, but the need for food will be even more pressing
- Players will enjoy a sense of community with other elephants
- The theme shifts from motherhood and family to legacy and inheritance

New Statues in Meadow
Following the brilliant turnout for our Meadow birthday party last month we've been listening to your feedback and made some plans for more statues and achievements. That's right, the fun will go on! Only this time the statues will stay for good, which is just as well because they're not easy to spot!
For each month until the release of Shelter 3 next year, we'll be placing ten statues of an animal from Shelter 3 in the Meadow world. That's nine more animals altogether and we're going to reveal them one by teasey one as the months roll by ;) As with the anniversary elephants, you'll unlock achievements for the first, fifth and tenth statues you find.
Next you'll be able to hunt low slung crocs across the game world - check them out on podium number two and keep your eyes peeled! We hope you enjoy seeking them out and showing the way and sharing your findings, and best of all, there is absolutely no rush. We hope you like the crocs! See you in the Meadow! Best Wishes and stay connected, Helen and the Shelter Team xx

Thank you for Fantastic Anniversary! + New Statue Hunts
A great big thank you to all of you who shared and played our Anniversary Play Event last weekend: we broke our 10k player target and raised a welcome donation for Safe in Our World. We saw lots of you sharing the event on your social channels and some of you helping newbies around the place, and we do appreciate that for a fair few of you the Meadow was a little more crowded than you're used to - so thanks for sharing your space for the party <3
We're glad you enjoyed helping one another visit them all, and we've heard that many of you don't feel super keen on time limited achievements, so we'll be putting them back for another ten days, which we hope will be enough time for new players to find them all and will allow previous ones to finish up. Expect to see them some time on May 5th. We might add a few extra too, more info on that next week. You'll get achievements for the first, fifth and tenth elephant that you visit.
The elephants were so popular that we thought we'd make some more statues for you to find, so in the next couple of months we'll be dropping a different kind of animal in for another ten days. Every animal will be from Shelter 3, and our first new animal will be appearing in June. We hope this is good news for you and thanks again for a really great super feel good anniversary weekend! Best Wishes and Stay Safe! Helen and the Team

Shelter 3 New Trailer
Today we are really excited to share this, our new trailer! We hope you like it. Much like an elephant, development is coming along slowly but surely. Currently the team are working on elephant behaviours, level design and bringing some animal NPCs to life.
But we would like to be further along than this by now, and today we're writing to let you know that we've had to revise our schedule - release is now set for a realistic early 2021. We're sorry - we know that some of you have been waiting so patiently! But we're a small team and along with updating Meadow, we just don't have the resources to move much faster than this. This means that we won't be working on any new updates for Meadow until Shelter 3 is released. Pulling resources away from Meadow means that we can fully commit to our deadline for Shelter 3, however we do have plans for some fun Meadow updates when that time comes - we think it will be worth the wait!
Meadow has been an unexpected high point in our journey and we want to say a huge thank you for making Meadow what it is today - it's been four years of animal joy, and we've never stopped being surprised, touched and deeply grateful for all that you have produced and shared. Thank you. Our recent Kickstarter means that there's been a few new faces in Meadow recently, and we'll continue to do more Play-with-the-devs events (one soon-to-be-announced for April). We also want you to know that the emotes you've been using so effectively will be gaining a sibling in our upcoming fairytale RPG, Book of Travels. Again, to all Meadow players, a huge thank you for helping us test and develop this communication system and showing us how magical it can be. That's all for now - thank you for all your comments here on Steam! Best Wishes, Helen and the team at Might & Delight (This is a reposting made necessary while we tidy up our Steam pages - thank you for your patience!)

Meadow has been an unexpected high point in our journey and we want to say a huge thank you for making Meadow what it is today - it's been four years of animal joy, and we've never stopped being surprised, touched and deeply grateful for all that you have produced and shared. Thank you. Our recent Kickstarter means that there's been a few new faces in Meadow recently, and we'll continue to do more Play-with-the-devs events (one soon-to-be-announced for April). We also want you to know that the emotes you've been using so effectively will be gaining a sibling in our upcoming fairytale RPG, Book of Travels. Again, to all Meadow players, a huge thank you for helping us test and develop this communication system and showing us how magical it can be. That's all for now - thank you for all your comments here on Steam! Best Wishes, Helen and the team at Might & Delight (This is a reposting made necessary while we tidy up our Steam pages - thank you for your patience!)
News from the Shelter team + New Shelter 3 trailer!
[ 2020-02-06 14:32:18 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello!
Today we are really excited to share this, our newtrailer! We hope you like it. Much like an elephant, development is coming along slowly but surely. Currently the team areworking on elephant behaviours, level design and bringing some animal NPCs to life.
Elephant Development
But the truth is that we should have been further along than this by now, and today we're writing to let you know that we've had to revise our schedule - release is now set for a realistic early 2021. We're sorry - we know that some of you have been waiting so patiently! But we're a small team and along with updating Meadow, we just don't have the resources to move much faster than this. This means that we won't be working on any new updates forMeadowuntil Shelter 3 is released. Pulling resources away from Meadow means that we can fullycommit to our deadline for Shelter 3, however we do have plans for some funMeadow updates when that time comes - we think it will be worth the wait!

We write to you now to update you on two very important topics! Rewardsand... a cat!
Free games now included+ map book
We want to make sure you don't miss out on our last little bit of Kickstarter adventure...It's been a crazy campaign and we've flown a little bit by the seat of our pants, which included adding someextra free thingsto the rewards bundles. Every pledge Traveller and above now gets Meadow + an illustrated Map Book, and every pledge Settler and above gets (Meadow and) Tiny Echo + an illustrated Map Book. (If you already have these games you are free to give the key to a friend!)
Flik the cat goes to Braided Shore
Did you know we have one member of the team who is not quite human? She isFlik, our visiting cat. To celebrate the end of the campaign, and to honour the calm and chaos she brings to the studio we're going to add her into the game as arare event, try to spot her on your travels!
Here is Flik in real life!

Playing as a part of a herd, you'll enjoy the company of other elephants, large and small. Walk peacefully side-by-side with the elders, swim with the young, or delight in mischievous moments of baby elephants at play. Elephants thrive in a collective and so will you. Being in a herd means that you’ll be better protected against predators. You’ll also learn the wayfinding wisdom of the elders. But travelling together means there are many mouths to feed, and you must share resources and be constantly on the move to stay healthy.
Your journey will be scattered with magical moments as you discover new terrain and untrodden pathways, and should you choose to wander after nightfall, you might just come across one of the fabled Ancestral Gathering Grounds.
A Different Kind of Animal
Shelter 2 centred on a lone lynx mother and her cubs as they found and killed prey, now Shelter 3 asks you to explore a different kind of animal existence, one where motherhood, social harmony and inheritance are the keys to prosperity.
Like its forebears, Shelter 3 invites you to detach yourself from human matters and inhabit the spirit of an animal. Landscapes and fauna are rendered in mesmerising patterns and scored with an enchanting soundtrack by Retro Family, conjuring a magical world to lose yourself in.
From lynx cubs to elephant families, from the tundra to the jungle, from survival to cooperation, the next Shelter incarnation migrates to new territory, evolving into a bigger game world and an experience that you won’t forget.
