Malmyr: State of the Game - New Beta and finally Rated on Steam (06.07.2021)
A couple of days ago we got our 10th (by now 11th) review on Steam by buying customers. That means that we now have a rating and are actually a bit more visible in searches, discovery queues and so forth. We really can see the difference in the number of impressions Malmyr is getting right now. This for sure is boosted by the summer sale, but we assume that there was a clear growth. For now that means: We need to make Malmyr even more relevant and increase the number of reviews to fall into the next rating category. If you can make the time a short review would help us out immensely!
There is a new beta available for Malmyr on Steam. If you have bought Malmyr, you can get it by opening the properties of Malmyr and go to "Betas". There is a drop down list, where you can select "Experimental" and it should be downloaded automatically. There are already quite a few changes in the game. Here are the most important ones:
This beta introduces the first version of the German localization of Malmyr. French and Russian will follow at a later date.
In addition to Terraforming and applying passive effects, runes now have an additional ability. You now can drag and drop a rune on any building that has a stockpile (so almost all of them) to create resources depending on the rune used. We also removed the clicking minigame for crafting runes. Runecrafting now simply creates a new rune that is slightly rarer than the average rarity of the consumed runes. Down the road of this beta we will add another feature: You will be able to roll for random runes in the game for your surplus coin. There will also be a good amount (~18) of new runewords coming up and it will be easier to learn about how to combine runes to make runewords.

Hello there! Wow, already one month went by since I wrote one of these the last time. For today, I have two points I want to talk about. Let's dive right into it!
Finally rated on Steam

First beta for Malmyr - Runemagic 2.0
There is a new beta available for Malmyr on Steam. If you have bought Malmyr, you can get it by opening the properties of Malmyr and go to "Betas". There is a drop down list, where you can select "Experimental" and it should be downloaded automatically. There are already quite a few changes in the game. Here are the most important ones:
German localization:
This beta introduces the first version of the German localization of Malmyr. French and Russian will follow at a later date.
New Runemagic features:
In addition to Terraforming and applying passive effects, runes now have an additional ability. You now can drag and drop a rune on any building that has a stockpile (so almost all of them) to create resources depending on the rune used. We also removed the clicking minigame for crafting runes. Runecrafting now simply creates a new rune that is slightly rarer than the average rarity of the consumed runes.

There will also be a good amount (~18) of new runewords coming up and it will be easier to learn about how to combine runes to make runewords.
UX- and QoL-Improvements:
- You now can speed up the game up to 8-times the normal game speed.
- Clicking a building now draws a line along connected roads, to give a better overview where the resources of that building can go.
- Revamped the "resource-jumping-arch" effect, to make it less intrusive.

Malmyr is a story based game about building and maintaining production chains. It is meant to be relaxing but challenging. You will have to control where your resources are diverted to and ensure that there are enough workers to fulfill your missions. Don't be fooled by the simple and stylized look of Malmyr - The game is getting very complex, very fast.
You are sent to the forgotten lands of Malmyr by your King to expand the kingdom's territory and exploit Malmyr's precious ore deposits. While doing so you find out about the sinister fate of the Dwarves that once inhabited the continent. You will have to protect the kingdom from suffering the same!
We are two very passionate german devolpers with freshly finished degrees who always wanted to make games. Due to the current circumstances, we decided to take a leap of faith and go for it. While buying this game you should keep that in mind. Malmyr is made with great love for detail and we hope that we can offer unique challenges with each mission, but it cannot offer hundreds of hours of playtime like bigger games with actual funding and a budget can.
While we cannot promise to expand the game's content and currently have no plans to do so, we will do our best to optimize the game after release and address any issues coming up. Ziegler gamedev has the vision "Making dreams come true". We feel that part of that also is making the best game we can for our players.
- Inspired from games of our past and present - Like The Settlers, Anno and Factorio.
- 12 story based missions - You need to find a good strategy to solve them and handle the hazards thrown at you.
- Unique obstacles and ambience for missions - Each mission was made to give you a different experience: Sometimes more relaxing, sometimes more challenging than the previous one.
- Complex production chains - They will get longer and will need a wider variety of resources to function.
- A different take on resource transportation - You will not just connect buildings with a road, set up a transportation route or build conveyor belts. You will have to manage and optimize each piece of road manually.
- Over 45 different resources - Global resources like coin and food, building resources like wood and bricks and commodities for selling like jewelery.
- A range of over 70 buildings - From woodcutter's huts, to different mines, foundries and toolsmiths to be able to reach the rarest ores of Malmyr.
- 12 magical dwarven runes - They can be used in two ways: Terraforming your territory or by socketing the runes in excavated ruins for permanent global bonus effects. Socketing certain combinations of runes will be even stronger.
- Runecrafting - Allowing you to combine spare runes and convert them into other runes.
- War - There are no enemies, other than the mission itself, for you to fight.
- Mega-factories - You will not build one huge, ever growing mega-factory. The game is about fulfilling the task at hand: The current mission given to you by the King. If you are done with a mission, you will be sent to a new region and will have to handle a new task.
- Microtransactions - You get the full game by buying Malmyr.
- Static production chains you build and never touch again - You will need to adapt to your current mission. Sometimes this means, that you will have to sell buildings and rebuild them somewhere else.
You will have to think about the game and how to handle a particular mission.
We are offering an ingame wiki, a descriptive video on this steam page and a helping hand in the Steam forums and other social media channels. But in the end YOU are playing the game and YOU should solve the problems thrown at you. Observing the situation and finding your solution will reward you.
Making dreams come true.
