About This Game

Overview:
Malmyr is a story based game about building and maintaining production chains. 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.
12 magical runes enable you to make your buildings more efficient. The functionality of the Runes was heavily expanded with the Runemagic 2.0 patch. New ways to use and combine the runes to a total of 18 runewords will allow new strategies for the hardest missions Malmyr has to offer.
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!

About us:
We are two very passionate german devolpers who always wanted to make games. We decided to take a leap of faith and go for it. When 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 beyond Runemagic 2.0, we will continue to improve the game and fix bugs. 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.

Mamlyr is...
- 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 complete 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 three ways: Terraforming your territory, magically creating resources or by socketing the runes in excavated ruins for permanent global bonus effects.
- 18 magical rune words - Combine three runes to form a special rune word with vastly different and powerful effects.
- Runecrafting - Allowing you to combine spare runes and convert them into other runes.
- Runecreation - Convert surplus coin into runes.

Mamlyr isn't...
- 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. After 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.

a fun and challenging puzzle game for relaxing gaming sessions. the graphics are pretty and the models are playfully detailed: there currently is a christmas tree in town square and the roads spawn little barrels that shoot fireworks! the music is very soothing aswell. i really enjoy playing this game and can recommend it to every puzzle fan!
A nice mix of Factorio and Settlers, with a campaign to gently introduce game concepts. I'm enjoying this very much.
I think, with a lot of detail work this might be a decent game. I also think that graphics department here is brilliant because this looks way cooler than it is. Problem is the basic game is a fairly basic supply line type game. but with roads instead of conveyor belts. And the peasants are to stupid to know where they are going with anything so you can't have a road go more than one place. *sigh* So, conveyor belts called roads. And yes, later, with knowledge derived from ancient dwarven ruins in the third mission, you can have a road that peasants will choose the proper direction at a fork. I want to take an aside here and not that Steam Powered Game's proprietary spell checker does not know the word "dwarven." It's not the core game play that brings this thing down to the "not recommend" status. It's a bunch of little things that add up to it being frustrating. And that's really it. It's not hard or requiring any gret skill at the point I bailed. It was just annoyingly fr...
I could not play this game. The Unity engine crashed before the game froze and the Unity engine crashed before the tutorial was even completed.
my game does not do what the instructions say. drove me crazy. also no windowed mode (seriously, i do not play fullscreen. never. ever). and then there is the incessant gibber-gabber you have to click through..... next time a game that works instead of quirky dialogue please!
As a preface, I'm not much of a building simulation gamer (right now), and I hoped this would rekindle my love for the genre. It didn't but not because it's lacking quality. In it's essence (and as far as I've played), this is as much a puzzle game as it is a building sim. You play missions (there's an open end mode too) and have to achieve goals in them. To achieve these missions, you need to build certain structures while keeping in mind rules for logistics among the different building types. You need, for example, a specific minimum amount of workers to man your buildings. Workers live in houses, which need to be in a two field radius around a farm. Clay pits and mines need one or more building to refine their goods, so roads need to be build between all of these and the buildings that use them. And so on and so forth. Often you'll find yourself scrapping buildings or roads that you either don't need anymore, or to correct an error you made. Most tiles or building can yield addi...
A game designed to be relaxing. Malmyr is a small puzzle/production chain game and it is very noticable that it is designed to be calming and relaxing. You build production chains to solve an objective and adapt them on the fly. The care and design that went into this game is very noticable, but it is a very small game with a heart though. If this seems like something you want to do, puzzle, build production chains and then adapt them as necessary with a relaxing atmosphere, this might be for you.
50% Supply lines, 50% clicker, 100% terrible dialogue. It's a slog in a "waste your time" kind of way and not a "solve a puzzle" kind of way. It feels like a mobile game.
I usually love games like this but this one is just not for me. I don't really enjoy solving the puzzles, they feel like a slog to discover what an optimized road looks like. often, there just isn't one and you need to delete and re set up the same area- I found that very tedious and not fun puzzle solving action.
