✨ November 2025 Update — Steam Release Announcement! New Themes, Improvements & What’s Coming Next ✨
4 months ago
– Tue, Nov 25, 2025 at 10:15:37 AM
Hey Realms Fam! November brings one of the most content-packed updates we’ve released so far. New themes, new tiles, new objects, major UX upgrades, visual improvements, and the long-awaited object color-changing system are finally here. Let’s get into it. ✨
HexCrafter now comes with a large collection of Blank Tiles, giving you total creative freedom. Whether you want to build custom regions, design unique biomes, carve out your own roads, draw rivers exactly where you want them, or shape entire cities from scratch — the blank tiles let you create maps entirely your way.
We’re also crafting Cyberpunk and Darkland themes, both coming soon and planned for the Early Access release. These new realms will bring fresh styles, moods, and worldbuilding options to MoR. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🎨 Further Material & Visual Improvements
We’ll continue polishing materials, lighting, and theme consistency.
As we move toward launch, we want to set expectations clearly:
We might not release any intermediate updates prior to the launch window, except for a few remaining content and theme updates, as well as essential hotfixes that are crucial for stability testing or critical fixes. The focus now is ensuring MoR is polished, stable, and fully prepared for its release phase.
Steam Early Access Release Window:
🗓️ Q1 2026 — Master of Realms will be launching on Steam in Early Access during the first quarter of 2026.
We’ll share more details, including final keys, DLC entitlements, and the roadmap, closer to launch.
🔥 Support Our Steam Launch — Wishlist Master of Realms! 🔥
Next Update Important Message:
We want to continue supporting and adding content to Master of Realms for years and years, but to be able to do that, we need a successful launch. And you can help with that!
There are several things you can do to help us launch successfully:
Spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, …
Contact your favourite YouTubers or Twitch streamers and tell them about Master of Realms. Streams and videos of popular influencers can help A LOT at launch.
Your support, feature feedback, and testing energy continue to shape Master of Realms every single week. This update is a huge step toward the final release, and we’re excited for what’s next.
🚀September 2025 Update 🚀: 🧰 TileForge Is Here! + Steam Release Announcements 📢
6 months ago
– Wed, Sep 17, 2025 at 05:03:35 AM
Hey Realms fam!
We’ve been a bit quiet since the July mega update—because we’ve been heads‑down building. Today we’re rolling out new tools, navigation upgrades, clearer docs, and important Steam release clarifications. Let’s get into it. ✨
See Detailed Video Link Inside the update. __________________________________________________________________________
Meet TileForge—our in‑editor tile customizer for Hex Crafter that lets you craft custom tiles and tile groups.
TileFoge is Here!
Where to find it: Open Hex Crafter and use the top menu icon, or jump to the new “Custom Tiles” tab in the Toolbox.
Switch and Create the tile you like!
How it works:
Create a tile or group with the look you want—mix terrain types, blend materials, place props
Save—your creations appear in Toolbox → Custom Tiles for instant reuse
Edit anytime via the Edit button (top‑right of each thumbnail)—iterate without losing placements
Tiles are Editable!
Publish to Steam Workshop to share your creations with the community
You can Publish your tiles to Steam Workshop Too!
⚠️ Clarification: TileForge ≠ STL Forge. TileForge is for in‑engine customization inside Hex Crafter. STL Forge is a separate (coming soon) tool focused on printable tiles. TileForge tiles are not 3D Printable.
The VIP Backers names list is now live in the in‑app Credits page. This is a small way of saying thank you to the folks who helped us get here.
What’s included: The names we have on record from backer surveys and fulfillment exports for VIP tiers.
Missing or incorrect? Please open a ticket in Discord → #support with your preferred display name and backer email, and we’ll update it in the next refresh.
Privacy options: If you’d like your name removed or shown as initials, let us know via #support and we’ll honor it.
Ongoing updates: We’ll periodically refresh the list as we process survey updates and late confirmations.
Our Discord Viewers have been enjoying the Sneak Peeks of the Themed Tiles that will be added soon, but here are Modern and Apocalypse Sneak Peeks for everyone:
👉 Join our Discord and check out the #sneak-peek channel to see them all. 🔗 Discord
You can also follow our social channels to catch the latest previews and updates. ________________________________________________________________________________________________
🧨 Steam Release — Clarifications
To set expectations and reduce confusion:
Final Steam keys: You will receive permanent product keys (separate from playtest keys) at release. These add the base product to your library.
DLC entitlements: Themes & feature DLCs are already granted for Kickstarter backers via BackerKit according to pledge tier. Expect a second email with DLC keys at release (keys may arrive within a short window; they’re tied to your pledge).
Backer access: All backers will receive the Steam release according to their pledge‑tier benefits. If your tier includes specific themes/features, those will be included via DLC keys.
Kickstarter “Delivered” status: We are considering marking the Kickstarter as Delivered at the time of the Steam release to reflect fulfillment of your pledged rewards via Steam keys. This will not stop updates—we’ll continue shipping improvements, fixes, and any content you’re entitled to. You’ll keep receiving updates to everything you’ve received, of course.
If your email has changed or you don’t receive keys at launch, please open a ticket in Discord → Support so we can reissue promptly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________
🗺️ Create, Share, Get Featured
With TileForge + Hex Crafter, you can now build faster and smarter:
Combine core themes with your own custom sets to prototype biomes
Reuse saved groups across projects to speed up workflows
Post screenshots in Hall of Exhibits on Discord for a chance to be featured in #🐐‑vault‑of‑legends
Tag us on socials—community spotlights are live and ongoing
We’re getting very close to the Steam launch phase. From a small prototype to a growing toolkit, we’ve only reached this milestone because you believed in the vision.
As noted above, we’re considering marking the Kickstarter as Delivered alongside the Steam release to reflect fulfillment through your keys. That doesn’t end development—we’ll keep rolling out updates, improvements, and any pledged content you’ve received.
Thank you for riding along—testing builds, sending feedback, and cheering us on. 🙌 Please keep sharing your thoughts and creations; your support is what turns the future of Master of Realms into reality. 💙

Hello, Realms Community! 🌟 We held off on a June post because the team was heads-down on a huge set of changes. Today we’re thrilled to unveil everything that’s landed in the July build: a full suite re-brand, brand-new content, audio, and a sweeping UI/UX overhaul. Dive in!
A New Era — Master of Realms Becomes a Suite of Tools
Master of Realms now has distinct creation modes under one roof:
Hex Crafter – our current tile-based mapmaker (playable today)
We are more things coming! Please wait for GIFs to Load!
STL Tile Forge – coming soon, for printable hex tiles
Realm Builder – coming soon, for free-form world creation More modes will follow as the project grows.
🏰 Castles Arrive Castle-building assets and matching tiles are now available in the Core theme Toolbox.
You can now have castles in your map! Please wait for GIFs to Load!
🌿 Toolbox Category Tweak Swamp Tiles and Boulder Valleys have moved from Man-Made to a new Wild Terrains category for cleaner organization.
Appropriately categorized! Please wait for GIFs to Load!
🔊 Full Sound Integration A complete audio pass adds placement sounds (tiles & objects), UI clicks/hovers, and ambient background tracks. All three layers can be adjusted or muted in Settings → Audio.
You can hear things now! Please wait for GIFs to Load!
We’re already collecting feedback, squashing bugs, and polishing rough edges for a hot patch that will follow this update. If you spot any issues—or have suggestions—please let us know on Discord or through the in-app reporting tool. Your reports help us sharpen every feature and keep the experience smooth.
