Hello to our amazing Menyr community!
We're back with the latest scoop on all things Menyr in our Monthly Update. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to our realm, we're here to share the recent happenings and exciting plans on the horizon.
Beta Progress:
It's been a little over a month since we released the beta version of Menyr, and the response has been fantastic! We want to give a big shoutout to our backers for their valuable feedback. Your insights have been incredibly helpful in spotting issues we might have missed during our own testing. Performance improvement is a key focus for us, and we're committed to making things even better in the upcoming months.
New Features and Tools:
We've been hard at work adding some cool stuff to Menyr. In the next few days, we'll be rolling out an update on Steam that includes:
🌿 Nature's Touch: Get ready to enhance your maps with new natural elements like foliage and rocks. These additions will help you add more detail and realism to your creations.
🛠️ Easier Asset Control: We've introduced a new tool that lets you adjust objects and tokens in different ways – scale, rotate, and move them around however you like.
❄️ Winter Wonders: We're bringing a touch of winter magic with volumetric snow. It's a small touch, but it adds a whole new layer of atmosphere to your worlds.
📷 New Looks: We've added an automatic Depth of Field function (that you can deactivate) for augmented immersion and beauty.
⛅ Advanced Sky Control: Change the astral color, add aurora borealis, rotate the sun angle, precipitations angle, and more.
Some minor fixes and features will also see the light: automatic login, instantaneous Toolbox loading time, DLSS 3 and FSR support, waves strenght affected by wind, etc.
Team Updates:
Our team took a well-deserved break during July and August to recharge. Now, we're back and working hard on some exciting updates. We're focusing on upcoming features like the next-gen Terraforming Tech, adding new Biomes, and implementing Multiplayer!
Thank You, Backers!
A special shoutout to all our backers who joined us in exploring the beta version. Your feedback and bug reports have been incredibly valuable. You're helping us make Menyr the best it can be, and we're truly grateful for your support.
That's a wrap for this update. Keep an eye out for more news, and remember – Menyr is a world we're building together.
Best regards,
--The Menyr Team--

Hello everyone,
🎉 Today is the day when you finally get to try Menyr out! I'll get straight to the point:
To access your Beta, head to the Menyr website, click on the Login button at the top left of the page, and reset your password using the email address you used for Kickstarter. You will then be able to choose a username, which is by default set as your email.
Once you've confirmed your password, you will have access to your account where you can find your unique and personal Steam Key. Please refrain from sharing this key, as we will not be issuing new ones.
You can now download Menyr Beta via Steam, and start world building!
⚠️Please keep everything related to this Beta release confidential and do not share any images or videos unless it's in the Beta Testing channels on our Discord channel. Avoid posting anything on the internet for now. This discretion period will be lifted in a few weeks, and we will notify you via another update. Once lifted, you'll be free to share your experiences on any platform and stream your gameplay. ⚠️
📷What you have access to is an extremely early build meant for people who want to witness a program grow from prototype to a full release. Things might be rough and do not represent the final program in any way, including UI, features, performance, and visuals. We are seeking feedback, and your input will greatly influence the direction Menyr will take!
-As a reminder, only Storyteller backers and up have Game Master access, allowing them to create new maps, terraform, and perform all tasks related to building. For those without GM access, we have preloaded a few community maps for you to test the engine. You can download (maps are pretty light) and play any map created by someone with Game Master access—many will be available on our Discord channelsoon.
-VIPs, your previous saves are not retro-compatible with the Steam version
Thank you again for your support, and see you in Menyr!

Greetings, adventurers!
As indicated by the title, the release of the Closed Beta's initial build is imminent, and it will be made available to you in a matter of weeks! Although our initial target was to launch in June, based on game testing involving individuals outside of NOG for the first time, we have decided to allow for a slightly extended timeframe to address certain issues, specifically those related to gameplay and the user interface. While the graphics, procedural generation, and optimization, albeit incomplete, are satisfactory for the first beta launch, the overall experience is impacted by bugs such as non-closing menus, accidental deletion of the entire terrain, incorrect inputs, and the failure to save maps, among others. Addressing these problems will significantly enhance the quality of your experience and therefore deserves our additional attention.
Soon, we will send you an email containing a link to set up your account, reserve your username, and ultimately download the Menyr Beta. Last month we told you the build would be 50Gb maximum, and we're glad to announce that we made it weight under 20Gb so far. In the meantime, we invite you to view the recently created Beta Trailer and watch (or rewatch) the latest live stream that was conducted on the Discord Channel!
Can't wait to explore together, thank you again for your patience, and see you soon in Menyr!

Beta Launch
We are now about a month away from putting the first Beta version in your hands, and we couldn't be more excited! Everything is looking good from where we stand, and we should be able to deliver on our June deadline. Expect the Beta to launch towards the end of the month, though ;)
Before it starts, you will receive instructions in your inbox to create your NOG account and guidelines on how to download Menyr (approximately 50 GB). As this is the first Beta launch, we want to remind you that there will be no Kickstarter rewards available yet, nor game modes or multiplayer. Here's what you can expect in a nutshell:
Procedural natural world building in one biome (forest)
Hand-placed world building of the same biome plus a few structures
Weather and time control
Basic dice rolling
New Community Tools
We are introducing an array of tools to help you stay up-to-date with Menyr's development progress and to provide feedback more easily. These tools are already live and available on Menyr's website, allowing the community and developers to go to the same place for sharing information and feedback.
Firstly, we have a brand new development roadmap! It now contains much more detail than what we've shared before. This new roadmap is not only available directly on our website, but it is also fully linked with our developers' workflow tools. This way, you can see the real-time status of each feature. You can also provide feedback directly on the roadmap using a rating system, enabling us to understand which features you consider essential and which can wait. This is the first draft, but over time, the roadmap will include more details and features.
In terms of feedback and suggestions, we have integrated the feature request system into our roadmap. We have transferred most of the old feature requests to this new system. It will serve the same purpose but will be automatically linked to our roadmap and will have improved aesthetics and functionality.
Issue reporting
As the beta launch approaches, issue reporting has become a high priority for us. The Menyr Beta will include a way to send feedback and suggestions directly, and we will also provide an online platform through Github. Both systems will be seamlessly connected.
We hope you find these tools useful and user-friendly. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive and transparent information on Menyr's development, all in one place. Please let us know what you think on Discord.
We will be sharing more content in the upcoming month leading up to the beta and will be hosting a live demo on our Discord channel. So stay tuned for more! We hope you enjoyed this update and are excited for the Beta, which will be in your hands in no time!
