addedFinally rated on SteamA 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.

addedFirst beta for Malmyr - Runemagic 2.0There 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.

changedFirst beta for Malmyr - Runemagic 2.0There are already quite a few changes in the game. Here are the most important ones:

changedGerman localization:This beta introduces the first version of the German localization of Malmyr. French and Russian will follow at a later date.

addedNew 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.

addedNew Runemagic features: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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We will keep you posted on further updates to the beta.

As usual, you can contact us on Discord or the Steam community forums, if you want to report a bug or just say hello.

Yours René
