The Steam Autumn Sale is now live and Shelter is 75% off. What better time to jump in, embrace your best badger mum self and raise a litter of babies in an unforgiving world?

We’re also ecstatic to finally be able to say that our very own merchandise store is now live and operational. This is the first time we’ve been able to offer premium quality items with Might and Delight prints but it’s 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 we’re 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 they’re gone, so don’t 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

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. It’s 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 we’ve also been able to allocate more staff and resources to the further development of Meadow.

Whilst we aren’t 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. We’re expecting this change will be applied in early November, to coincide with new features being released.

Exciting times ahead, friends! Again, you’ll hear from us again soon - so stay tuned in the meantime.

Best,
Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

The past months have been the most revolving, intriguing and emotional that we have ever experienced at our studio. Releasing Book of Travels in Early Access and trying to keep up with the logistical and emotional aftermath has been both fun and challenging. It's safe to say that this period has been unique for us.

It's in the wake of these events that we reach out to you with some important news. With the ambition to be both transparent and concise, we want to share the current status of our company to you all. Our goal is always for you, our community, to know who we really are – whatever that may be.

In light of the launch not going quite as well as we had hoped, we have had to make some rather big, and difficult, cutbacks to our beloved team. In order to stay alive, we have been forced to cut down our team from around 35 people to 10 people. Saying goodbye to so many skilled, trusted and loved Might and Delighters has been, without a shadow of a doubt, our most difficult test in our 11 year history.



Understandably, many of you will wonder how this is going to affect the studio going forward. We have suffered a setback and as a result the production pace of coming content WILL be affected. We want to be transparent regarding that. However, we also want you to know that the team that remains is determined and hell bent on two things: surviving and bringing the best possible content to the game. We will do whatever it takes to keep the studio going, and continue to bring it and the company forward together with you.

We want to end by sharing this sentiment; Might and Delight have always been a company that has thrived on the edge and in the margins. We have always sacrificed much in order to bring our visions to life, sometimes going against the smartest strategy in favour of a path closer to our hearts.

We have a donation-like DLC called ”Cup of Kindness” that you can pick up if you wish to further support the project. We also released The Book of Travels soundtrack and the Pid Soundtrack and a brand new Might and Delight bundle with all our 10 games and 19 DLCs, including the two fresh OSTs.

We sincerely hope that this news, grim as it is, reach you well. With hope to continue the journey together.

All the best,
Founders Anders, Jakob & Dev Team

The T in TMO signals an alternative to the more common industry standard MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) putting 'tiny' in the place of 'massive'. That means fewer meetings, which we think means more magic... Read more here: What is a TMORPG?!

Today is the day that Shelter 3 goes live and we wanted to reach out to you and let you know about our sale, which comes with an extra 10% discount for those of you who already own a Shelter product. But, sales aside we are also here to share our launch trailer which we think gives the best flavour yet of how it will be to guide those elephants.

It will be hard.
Your path will be treacherous.
Your babies will need you.



For a limited 24 hour period we are also reducing two of our favourite bundles (the M&D bundle and Shelter bundle - which means that you can get a whole lot of Shelter for less than 70% - including Shelter 3! (The cost of any games you already own will be discounted from the final price.)



We’d love to hear all your thoughts on Shelter 3 – it’s definitely something a little different from its predecessors and we’re curious to know what kind of emotions we’ll be reading from you in just a few hours! Of course we’d love to hear your comments and reviews, so please do stay in touch with us right here on Steam or on Facebook or Twitter (buttons below). We’ll be responding as fast as we can throughout the launch period.

We’ll also be speaking to devs live on our Youtube channel at around 7pm CET or check out the video if you miss us.

Thank you from our hearts for being here with us on this third part of the Shelter journey. We humbly await your reception.

Best Wishes,

Helen & the Dev Team

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

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
