Bird Day in MeadowMay 3, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello, May the 4th might be most known for being the day that we dress up as space wizards wielding laser swords - but the almighty mouse doesn't hold a monopoly on this day, for this day is also Bird Day. This means that everyone will be able to play as the Eagle and the Pheasant in Meadow from 00:01 to 23:59 GMT-9 (11:01-10:59 CEST). Why the change in timezones? Well, because our community manager had a moment of confusion regarding what days yesterday's event (Leopard and Koala Day) was supposed to happen - which resulted in this announcement being late. Since Bird Day follows that event we felt we had to push Bird Day ahead a few hours too. So, we’re fixing the loss of those precious hours on your end by offsetting appropriately. This person has also been sent to LBCAT camp (“Learn Basic Calendar and Time”) so that this won’t happen again. He reports that he’s being fed adequately and that his studies have been “eye opening”. Anyway, we expect to see you all spread your wings this fine Saturday! See you in the skies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/c686ed3759426f2e018ffa9e956bae62c49463dc.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

Both leopards and koalas share this day as their respective "holiday", which of obviously means that we're making the lynx cub with its leopard skin AND the bear cub with its koala skin available for everyone. This will happen 00:01 GMT-9 and run until 23:59 (11:01-10:59 CEST). Why the change in timezones? Well, because our community manager had a moment of confusion regarding what days this is supposed to happen - which resulted in this announcement being late. So, we're fixing the loss of those precious hours on your end by offsetting appropriately. This person has also been sent to LBCAT camp ("Learn Basic Calendar and Time") so that this won't happen again. He reports that he's being fed adequately and that his studies have been "eye opening". Here's some tidbits about leopards and koalas respectively: Leopards (...) belong to the group of animals we recommend that you keep your distance from. A lot of us know how much it sucks to be clawed by a house cat, so imagine the absolute mayhem a cat ten times bigger can cause. But boy are they beautiful, with their majestic spots. Did you know that the spots of a leopard are called rosettes because they’re similar to roses in shape? Or that they can reach running speeds of up to 58 km/h? Oh, and they can jump up to 6 meters. Yeah, so don’t get on their bad side. Koalas... they are cool. They sleep 18 hours a day, which we would too if we had the gall. They are very picky eaters; living exclusively off of eucalyptus leaves, despite these leaves being very low on nutrients (hence the long naps) and toxic to most other animals. Also, they’re the national symbol of Australian wildlife. The country known for having the scariest animals in the world uses the Koala as the symbol for their wildlife. Need we say more? Tomorrow we have yet another animal day to celebrate, but that announcement will come later today. Stay tuned! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/4d422e603e6c63c39f3f078b1e91aea7dd3932cc.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

You know the drill: the playable Wolf and its Hyena skin will be unlocked for every player from 00:01 to 23:59 central European time. This day exists to highlight that hyenas are in fact wonderful animals, and not the villainous mad clowns of the animal kingdom that pop culture and literature may present them as. Thanks a lot, Lion King! They are intelligent mammals that live in large packs and they aren't exclusively scavengers - they are quite skilled hunters too. Also, that cackle they're famous for isn't the animal equivalent to Joker's maniacal laugh, but rather a vocalisation of nervousness from a lower ranking individual. Let's get together and display these animals at their very best, the Meadow way! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/992cece07f1c051d517eb819cec7a89b66579eaf.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

To celebrate this, we're unlocking the playable Goat and its Fawn skin for everyone until 23:59 tonight, central european time. Who doesn't love seeing one of these beautiful animals in their garden? Deer have been symbolic for lots of things through human history, such as abundance and fertility. In ancient cultures they were revered as sacred beings. National Deer Day is meant to spread awareness for these gentle animals, and we'll do it the Meadow way - by getting together and having a good time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/b207e4d9cc1fd86cb22fd69de17f2d0d4644a98a.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

To unlock it, you need to collect 100 000 essence. Stop and smells the flowers! We’ve made adjustments to the locomotion system to make it work like it did before. We updated the minimap feature. Now you can switch the player display mode on the minimap in game settings. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/2b75b822aab1d8d9e47f91a63271079ad5aac571.png If you have blocked some players, you won’t be able to see their markers on the minimap or regular map. We’ve added a possibility to track particular players. If you want to find your friends, you can do that by clicking the button next to the mute/unmute button on the player list. Then, their markers become golden and are always shown both on the minimap and the map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/2eedc6ee2493d9704bf332a72e857646351afcfe.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/7dd780389df9f02b81aa2d6f33192fb555395289.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/9ef310f0f1bc902579febc4a9119fc194911159a.png An indicator to show the camera direction has been added both in the minimap and the map.

We added camera new controls for gamepad: Hold LT (left trigger) and push right joystick to zoom in/out; Hold RT (right trigger) and push right joystick to change camera height. We’re introducing a new approach to the Classic branch: We needed to make some back-end changes to how the emotes/special emotes/actions are structured to ease working with them and adding more in the future. This has caused a de-sync between the Classic version of Meadow and the current Live/Beta. To ensure the best player experience we can, we decided to guide classic players to their own “Classic grove”. This grove can only be accessed while playing on the Classic version. To access Meadow Classic you need to right click on Meadow in your Steam library, select “Properties…”, go to “Betas” and select “classic - Classic branch” from the “Beta Participation” dropdown menu. To go back to the current version please select “None” in the “Beta Participation” drop down menu. Fixes Name-peeking is fixed now. Player-blocking feature is working properly again. Your animal's head will now be facing the same direction as your camera. We fixed the issues that caused Top of the world to be occasionally unlocked without playing the eagle. A range of expressions achievement to be unlocked when unlocking the first emote. Full wardrobe achievement to be unlocked when unlocking the first skin. One thing at a time achievement to be unlocked every time you pick up a flower. The issue of several animals still existing when you return back to the Den from the game has been fixed.

A proper number of skin slots is now displayed for elephant and wolf. One of the eagle skins that was not available is not missing anymore. The incorrect blur effect has been removed.

Motion sickness issue To solve the problem of motion sickness caused by picture movement that doesn't match the body's expectations, we've reduced the default speed of camera rotation. If you feel uncomfortable while playing, please turn down the camera control speed appropriately and set the camera mode to static, in Settings > Game page. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/0503105499b87b6c2c73b419e7b3e168fcea6150.png Additionally, the frame rate and whether V Sync is enabled or not can affect motion sickness to some extent.

On March 25 we celebrate National Peacock Day. So from 00:01 until 23:59, central European time, we will unlock the playable Pheasant with its Peacock skin for everyone to enjoy. Here's a little tidbit that our copywriter found to be an earth shattering revelation when doing peacock research for the product description of the peacock skin: "Did you know that all peacocks are male? It makes sense when you think about it, but we’re so used to talking about peacocks as if they’re a species of bird rather than the males of one. The collective name is peafowl, the females are called peahens and the babies are peachicks. In Meadow, however, you can be a female peacock if you so wish. Who’s going to stop you?" {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/40b2fc564e8ab378e6334c9311d40f0c6e40240e.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

Everyone gets to play the Bear cub in Meadow from 00:01 until 23:59 central European time. Bears are very special, not least of which because of the fact that they are equally as adorable as they are scary. They are, after all, immensely powerful animals that eat pretty much anything. But it must say something about bears that they kind of represent a certain warmth and cuddliness - we give fluffy teddy bears to our children as comfort and characters like Winnie the Pooh and Paddington are wholesome, timeless icons of children's literature. World Bear Day is meant to celebrate all eight species of bear, and to shine a light on the cruelties inflicted upon them by humans. Living bears are farmed for their bile in Asia, and they live under abhorrent conditions, suffering endlessly until they die in their phone booth sized cages. You may also have heard of "bear baiting", an illegal bloodsport where defenseless bears are forced to fight battle trained dogs for human entertainment. The fact that it's legal hasn't put a stop to it. In Meadow we will celebrate the bears by walking a mile in their shoes, in a world more humane, welcoming and playful than the real one.

This means that when you play the default version, you won't be able to connect with players who play the beta version, but you can still meet up with other players who play the default version.

Next up in the string of animal days is something very different: Frogs! March 20 is World Frog Day, which means we're unlocking the playable Frog in Meadow from 00:01 until 23:59 on that day, central European time. You might also notice that they've... grown a bit. World Frog Day was created back in 2009 to shine a spotlight on all kinds of frogs and their importance in their respective eco systems. Apparently there are at least 7400 different species of frogs! Sadly more than 35 species has gone extinct in recent times and that's mainly because of - you guessed it - human impact on our environment. So let's honor the frogs of the world the Meadow way tomorrow. Ribbit! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/d4bf1a4d1746221b5ca5481dfb3485a7eff98ec5.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want more info?

On Monday, March 18, we're celebrating World Eagle Day within Meadow by - you guessed it - allowing every player to play as the prestigious Eagle between 00:01 and 23:59 central European time. The playable Eagle is an animal that not every player will have had the pleasure to play as in Meadow up until this point since it traditionally was reserved for players who got to the top of the leaderboards. But on World Eagle Day we'll all reign in the kingdom of heaven, so to speak.

We'll unlock the Bear character and its Panda skin for everyone on March 16 from 00:01 until 23:59, central european time. Out of all the bears you would most like to meet in a dark alley all on your lonesome, the panda is definitely at the top of the list - at least if you ask me. We love all kinds of bears of course, but the panda is probably the least likely to make a meal out of you since they prefer a diet consisting of bamboo. It is estimated that there are less than 2000 pandas living in the wild today, their numbers having diminished through the years due to habitat loss, hunting - the usual human stuff. It doesn't help that female pandas are only fertile two or three days a year, making birth rates low. Thankfully there are wonderful people in wonderful organizations that has made it their mission to protect these animals, an important factor being the conservation of their natural habitats. We hope to see a lot of pandas running around collecting Essence on March 16! Let's celebrate these amazing animals together. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/2731854cb2564c4fa2ba88bb825af2bfc281d2c0.jpg https://store.steampowered.com/app/486310/Meadow/ Want to learn more?

National Hedgehog Day in MeadowFeb 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello, Thank for joining us for Zebra Day yesterday! But the fun isn't over yet as tomorrow is National Hedgehog Day! The history of this day goes back all the way to Roman tradition, as the little critters were used as pre-TV weather men (no joke). As they were observed to hibernate during winter, the romans would look out for sightings of hedgehogs in February to predict warmer weather being imminent. If none were to be seen, it was taken as a sign of a prolonged winter. Nowadays we know that these prickly creatures typically hibernate all the way into March, and we have actual human weathermen to pick up their duties. Still, National Hedgehog Day is still recognized as a thing, happening on February 2nd and while they aren't endangered their numbers are in decline because of habitat loss, dwindling food sources and parasites. So watch out for them when you mow your lawn! In Meadow we're participating in the celebration of National Hedgehog Day by unlocking the playable Hedgehog and its blue skin for every player from 00:01 to 23:59 tomorrow, central european time. Why blue, you ask? You know why. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/3078fd4d06dc9622eb8fab6e6d7cb880df98cdb9.jpgInternational Zebra Day in MeadowJan 30, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello there! January 31st is International Zebra Day. Its purpose is to raise awareness for these gentle animals and their natural habitats, which are being diminished steadily not least of which because of human development. Within the little online playground that is Meadow we're having an event to coincide with this by giving every player access to the playable Goat and its Zebra skin for a day, both on the main servers and on beta. This is done on our end and you don't need to opt in in any way. Zebra Day in Meadow starts at 00:01 tonight and ends on 23:59 tomorrow - central european time. Let's see how many zebras we can get together! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26302118/b191497a914bc90dee3712fb5393eca6cbcb8230.jpgMeadow Live Update December 19 2023Dec 19, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsGet ready to snag two new skins!

Today it's the Zebra & Hyena Skin Pack, and we hope you've enjoyed these skins! There are plans for more cosmetic DLC's in the future, both paid and free, but we will get back to you with more info on that later. Now, let's take a look at the Zebra and the Hyena, shall we? Zebras. Are they white with black stripes, or black with white stripes? This question keeps the entire scientific community up at night. We do know that their individual stripe patterns are unique to them, like our fingerprints are to us. A sad Zebra fact for you: they don’t sound anything like Chris Rock. Hyenas are most known for their laugh like cackling, but not all species of hyena do them and it has nothing to do with their sense of humour. The “laugh” is an indication of nervous excitement or a sign of submission to a more dominant individual. If you want to learn something really freaky about hyenas you can look up their process of giving birth. We’re not going to go into detail here. This skin pack contains two skins. One for the goat and one for the wolf. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2616010/Meadow_Zebra_and_Hyena_Skin_Pack/ Previously released skin packs https://store.steampowered.com/app/2616000/Meadow_Striped_Polecat_and_Leopard_Skin_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615970/Meadow_Peacock_and_Scarlet_Macaw_Skin_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615980/Meadow_Streaked_Tenrec_and_Leopard_Cub_Skin_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615950/Meadow_Lemming_Family_Skins_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615990/Meadow_Himalayan_Rabbit_and_Koala_Skin_Pack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615960/Meadow_Blue_Poison_Dart_Frog_and_Anteater_Skin_Pack/Meadow Live Update December 6 2023Dec 6, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFixes Some of the achievements are now fixed Funghi and crystals are now being detected in the sense mode Europe 2 is now shut down; we will be adding HTTPS to the existing servers in the future as an alternative solution Saving system improvements have been made to improve the connection, read more here Known issues Some meshes in the tropical region being distorted on some GPUs Some of the cloud models being rotated vertically
