- Steam Deck Verified + 40% Sale! - 24 July 2026
The Enjenir V 0.9si - Steam Deck Verification & Quality of Life Update! Finally, after a lot of sweat, tears, and even more tears, The Enjenir is officially Steam Deck Verified! This took us way longer than we had planned and was much more complicated than we anticipated... but it’s finally here! 🎮 Steam Deck Integration The game now makes full native use of the Steam Deck controls, including the Trackpad, Joysticks, and more. We are really happy with the user experience and feel the Steam Deck is a fantastic way to play the game! We’ve gone through (very) rigorous testing with Valve to ensure the experience is as seamless as possible. All controls, text, UI, etc., now dynamically adapt to your active control scheme. To make this happen, we ended up having to redo the entire control and UI systems from scratch to incorporate proper Steam Deck and Keyboard & Mouse icons/glyphs. Running…

We’re excited for you to test our the latest features in our “Product” The Enjenir (okay okay, viral meme references end here!) and this update has a tonne of stuff to play with! 🆕 New Features 🌉 Arches A big feature requested throughout Early Access is finally here! We've added a new "Drag (Curve)" option when placing Beams and Logs, making it much easier to create arches. You can tweak the length of each segment using the UI, and use the scroll wheel to change the vertical height of the arch. This should massively speed up the process of making arched bridges - especially combined with the previously released Copy tool! ⛓️ Sheet Chains You can now place a series of sheets that are automatically connected with hinges in one click-an…

- 🎬 Absolute Cinema Challenge Winners 🎬 - 28 October 2025
Wow… What an amazing set of submissions! We’ve got a few Steven Steelbergs in our midst...! 🥁 Neil & I had a blast going through them all, and as always... it was tough to pick just one winner… so we didn’t! Overall Winners (£25 Steam Gift Card each) Interstellar The docking scene was recreated with incredible accuracy - complete with an in-game green screen for editing. Christopher Nolan would be proud... or would he? He hates green screens! This is hands down one of my favourite submissions ever! (check out the video for more clips!) Master and Commander - HMS Sunrise A stunning recreation of the HMS Surprise that actually floats in-game (RIP FPS). Beautifully made and technically brilliant. We've had many ships made in The Enjenir, and this one is among the best! Honourable Mentions (£10 Steam Gift Card each) Stargate - Pyramid and Stargate recreation from one of my favourite films…
- 🔴 PUSH THE BUTTON 🔴 - 16 October 2025
Hello Enjenirs, A nice little update for you folk, which brings about two changes: 🟡 Buttons! Now you can place triggerable buttons in your scene that react when they are physically pressed in-game! This means you can make physics-enabled triggers that activate events when something presses down on them. To use these buttons, use the Select tool to choose them, add links to the items you want to trigger: Then within those items, choose the desired action for the button to control: You can also scale the button to different sizes and even change the stiffness to make it easier or harder to press. 🧍 Updated Suite of Characters! We’ve added a series of new characters into the game, both as NPCs and as playable characters! These include the classic cast that’s been in the game since the start - Fionn the Farmer, Rich Lord Campbell, and others - now available as fully 3D models in-game to…
- MIRROR TOOL... 🪞 ...⅃OOT ЯOЯЯIM - 28 August 2025
Hey Enjenirs :) Another update for you... and it comes with one of the most requested features yet to be added... a mirroring tool! We've decided to add cash prizes (in the form of steam gift cards) to this months community challenge! 🤯 More info below! Short but sweet patch notes: We've added a comprehensive "Mirror Tool" when you select objects. Speaking of selecting objects, we've made selecting large numbers of items a lot more efficient. Lag may still occur when you are actually executing the copy command if you have lots of items! As you may notice in the screenshot above, the copy and move tool now allows you to move and rotate selection based on specific input values. So you can precisely move and rotate things by specified amounts a lot more easily! Fixed the bug which meant you sometime selected members that aren't on the screen. Made it possible to filter workshop by communi…

- Move / Copy & Paste Update🤯 - 23 July 2025
Hello Enjenirs! We’ve just dropped yet another big update yet, featuring the highly-requested "Move / Copy / Paste" feature, as well as a building precision mode, some new content creator themed character models, and lots more quality-of-life improvements and fixes. Full breakdown below! 👇 🛠️ Major New Features Move & Copy Mode: One of the most requested features is finally here! You can now select multiple objects using the Select Tool and either move them or copy & paste them. As simple as it sounds to make, there is so much going on under the hood with different physics constraints and connections that this feature was much harder than you would have thought! But it's here now, and being able to Move and Copy selections makes it far easier to duplicate complex builds, reposition entire contraptions, or just experiment with layout changes. It is only available in Sandbox Mode - as i…
- 🧙♂️ The Enjenir V0.7 - The Unhinged Update 🤯 - 4 June 2025
Hello Enjenirs! This major update brings some serious upgrades to your builds, adds a brand new level to explore, and introduces two game-changing components: hinges and springs! Plus, we've made key improvements to building mechanics! More info below 👇 ✨ New Content New Level: Explore the mysterious realm Under Beinn Dreich - our latest level. This level sits between the Farm and the Seaside level - so relatively early enough in the game. One of the bits of feedback we get from folk was that the difficulty of the missions ramps up quite quickly, so this level should help to ease into the more difficult missions in the later levels. Springs: One of our most highly requested feature - Springs! Easily create bouncy contraptions! These springs also have with tweakable parameters allowing you to change Stiffness, Dampening, and it's Target Position. Some players have already started integr…
- The Enjenir - V0.6 MAGNET UPDATE 🧲 - 3 April 2025
The Enjenir V0.6 🛠️ Hey everyone, a nice big update for all you enjenirs out there, full of a mix of new content, new mechanics, improvements and more! 👋 New Content 🧩 Added Magnets to the game 🧲 And not just any magnets - these are monopole magnets - that are technically electromagnets - since you can use the wiring system to turn them on and off with the touch of a key! Brand New Wheel System - allowing a lot more flexibility when placing wheels. You can now use a "wheel only" system to place them centrally, as well as thickening them up! You can even place them directly inside a beam be press Left Shift - and use the select tool to make them fixed to that beam, or allow them to freely rotate - this should make vehicle building much easier! Creative Sandbox mode in any level - get full sandbox features to build anything in any level - and share them on the steam workshop! Added so…
- Patch Notes: 0.5e 4th of February 2025 - 5 February 2025
Patch Notes: 0.5e - 4th February 2025 Hey everyone, just a short patch notes here to cover the latest small update. The plan was to make this build the beta build, but due to the inner workings of the new changes, we've had to push it out to the main branch of the game! The big change here is the first iteration of magnets to the game! These are currently limited to sandbox mode. We've got more testing and changes to come with them! We've also added some QoL improvements. Here is the full patch notes: Added Magnets to the game - currently in beta and undergoing testing! Added a toggle in the settings which enables the automatic skipping of the building animation. Fixed the bug relating to propellers not reversing when you don't manually control them. Fixed the propellers randomly losing power. Added a visual indicator to show which way propellers will push. Added the gap check from the…

Mini announcement for the latest Beta Patch! We've just added Steam Workshop support for The Enjenir! This build is currently in Beta, which you can opt into on Steam if you want to check out what some of the other beta testers have been building!

- 'The Enjenir' - 1 Year Anniversary! 🎂 - 18 December 2024
Hello Fellow Enjenirs! Today marks an incredible milestone - it’s been exactly one whole year since The Enjenir launched into Early Access! 🤯 It’s hard to believe that a full year has passed already - time flies when you’re developing your dream game! A Big Thank You! First and foremost, both myself and Neil want to say THANK YOU! Whether you’ve been with us since the early days of TikTok posts or if you’ve only just joined us recently, your enthusiasm has made all the difference to us. Every new player, Steam review, and engagement with us has helped shape The Enjenir into what it is today. Hearing how much fun people are having and seeing all the amazing (or sometimes barely functional but hilarious 😂) contraptions is what keeps us going! Over the past 12 months, we’ve worked super hard to expand and improve the game. I was going to recap all the changes to the game since launch, bu…
- Nominate "The Enjenir" for a Steam Award! 🔨 - 28 November 2024
Calling all enjenirs out there who have enjoyed the challenge of designing load-bearing structures, or grappling unexpected dynamic forces (like giant cats...) we need your expertise! We're aware there have been a tonne of awesome games released this year, but we would be honoured to have your vote for a Steam award this year! The Enjenir was designed based on a series of unique and innovative gameplay mechanics where: Literally every building material and character in the game simulates physics You have a completely gridless world at your disposal to build whatever you want! We feel these mechanics make it an ideal candidate for "Most Innovative Gameplay" award - but honestly any vote in any category you feel the game is worthy would be amazing! And if you haven't already, a positive review goes a long way to help our development - increasing morale and helping with the steam algorithm…
- 🚁 Aerodynamics Update ✈️ - 27 November 2024
Hey everyone, we’ve just dropped a new update to The Enjenir introducing Aerodynamics! 🤯 This new mechanic allows players to create different types of flying contraptions, like the example below from one of our beta testers: In this example, 100% of the lift and steering is generated from aerodynamic forces applied to some really clever flap designs—how cool is that? How does it work? Now, we're obviously not running NASA grade Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for our aerodynamics calculations... we are trying to run an actual game at 60fps here! 🙂 What we have done though, is a really streamlined (no pun intended) and simpler system that helps simulate aerodynamics in an efficient way, calculating the velocity of a given sheet, with a force applied proportionally to the normal of it's largest face... Simple! How do I enable aerodynamics? For stability, performance and gameplay reas…
- Beta Patch Notes: V0.4f 23rd of November - 23 November 2024
Hey anyone on the beta branch! We've just updated the beta branch of the game with some new mechanics that we'd like to have tested / stress tested before it goes live on the main branch hopefully in the next week or so! If anyone is confused as to why they got an update on the main build of the game last night that took them to 0.4f, and now another update reverted it to 0.4d... it's because I made a booboo and meant to push the build to the beta branch, not the main branch! 😅 So, the main headline items for this 0.4f update to the beta branch that is currently live as of now are: Aerodynamic Sheets - These need to be manually enabled on a per sheet basis, so if you use the select tool to click on a sheet, you can enable it to experience aerodynamic forces. This makes it possible to build planes, and even rudders for boats too (as it works under water!) Gears - Gears are back in the b…
- Demo Update - V0.3a 30th October 2024 - 30 October 2024
Demo Update V0.3a - 30th October 2024 Hi everyone! We’ve just dropped a much-needed update that improves the demo in a number of different ways! The biggest change is that we’ve upgraded the demo to the same new save system that the full game uses. This means that from here on out, progress from the demo will now carry over into the main game! The only downside to this is that the old save system is not backwards compatible with the new save system, so any existing demo progress to date will be lost with this update. Your progress is not totally lost, however, as the files will remain on your computer (they don’t get overwritten!), and you can still access old saves using a legacy branch of the game that we are making available on Steam that you can opt into! There have been a tonne of optimisations, improvements, and changes throughout the game, which are now carried forward into the d…
- Let there be light! 😎 - 25 October 2024
Patch Notes: V0.4D - 25th October 2024 A relatively small (compared to last weeks update!) but a very awesome and very welcome patch for today. We've finally gotten around to overhauling the lighting in the game, and it makes suuuuch a huge difference! It was something we always knew we needed to rework, but it was only once we actually made the changes that we realised how dark and unsaturated the old settings. This new update actually makes the game so much more appealing to look at! The full (short-but-sweet) patch notes are: Lighting overhaul! The lighting has been massively improved throughout the game entirely! Making it much easier to see and build in dark areas. As well as the general lighting improvements, we've also improved the quality of the baked shadows, to reduce weird shadows appearing. If you see any glaring ones we've missed, let us know! We've now made it possible to…

We're also featuring in a Steam Daily Deal on Saturday 19th of October for 30% off - so if you are looking to buy the game, you know when the next deal is on! ;) If you already have the game bought, please consider leaving a positive review, as we have currently dropped under the 10 review limit to get a "recent review" score - which would help us massively when the game gets featured by Valve!
