Might and Delight is a Swedish video game development studio and publisher based in Stockholm. The studio was established in 2010 and is best known for the Shelter series.

History

Might and Delight formed in 2010, comprising a team of 11, who had previously worked at Grin on Bionic Commando Rearmed.{{Cite news|url=https://www.fz.se/artikel/35806-might-and-delight|title=Might and Delight|date=30 April 2010|work=FZ|access-date=24 October 2019|language=sv|archive-date=24 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024155655/https://www.fz.se/artikel/35806-might-and-delight|url-status=live}} The team's initial goal was to create simple games that provided "something fresh and accessible".{{Cite news|url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ex-grin-team-reform-as-might-and-delight|title=Ex GRIN team reform as Might and Delight|last=Martin|first=Matt|date=19 April 2010|work=gamesindustry.biz|access-date=24 October 2019|archive-date=24 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024152646/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ex-grin-team-reform-as-might-and-delight|url-status=live}} When the studio formed and began work on its first game, Pid, the development team was very enthusiastic to create a good game, and entered a long period of crunch, with some developers working 14–17 hours per day. Looking back at this period, CEO Anders Westin said "Ambition is dangerous, we shouldn't have let them do that". For the studio's next project, Shelter, the team ensured they didn't increase the scope of the game too far, and didn't encourage overtime.{{Cite news|url=https://www.polygon.com/features/2013/10/23/4817662/pid-might-and-delight-crunch|title=Scandinavian crunch: Pid developer Might and Delight goes its own way|last=Fridén|first=Eric|date=23 October 2013|work=Polygon|access-date=24 October 2019|archive-date=25 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200425071006/https://www.polygon.com/features/2013/10/23/4817662/pid-might-and-delight-crunch|url-status=live}}

In 2015 the studio announced that it would also begin publishing games, focusing on games with distinctive art styles and strong themes.{{Cite news|url=https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/259816/Shelter_developer_Might_and_Delight_turns_publisher.php|title=Shelter developer Might and Delight turns publisher|last=Kerr|first=Chris|date=19 November 2015|work=Gamasutra|access-date=24 October 2019|archive-date=24 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024152644/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/259816/Shelter_developer_Might_and_Delight_turns_publisher.php|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/shelter-developer-might-and-delight-is-now-a-publisher-and-wants-your-games|title=Shelter developer Might and Delight is now a publisher and wants your games|last=Brown|first=Fraser|date=19 November 2015|work=PCGamesN|access-date=24 October 2019|archive-date=24 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191024160456/https://www.pcgamesn.com/shelter-developer-might-and-delight-is-now-a-publisher-and-wants-your-games|url-status=live}}
