News from the Shelter team + New Shelter 3 trailer!

Hello!

Today we are really excited to share this, our new trailer! We hope you like it. Much like an elephant, development is coming along slowly but surely. Currently the team are working on elephant behaviours, level design and bringing some animal NPCs to life.



Elephant Development

But the truth is that we should have been further along than this by now, and today we're writing to let you know that we've had to revise our schedule - release is now set for a realistic early 2021. We're sorry - we know that some of you have been waiting so patiently! But we're a small team and along with updating Meadow, we just don't have the resources to move much faster than this. This means that we won't be working on any new updates for Meadow until Shelter 3 is released. Pulling resources away from Meadow means that we can fully commit to our deadline for Shelter 3, however we do have plans for some fun Meadow updates when that time comes - we think it will be worth the wait!


Meadow in the Meantime

Meadow has been an unexpected high point in our journey and we want to say a huge thank you for making Meadow what it is today - it's been four years of animal joy, and we've never stopped being surprised, touched and deeply grateful for all that you have produced and shared. Thank you. 

Our recent Kickstarter means that there's been a few new faces in Meadow recently, and we'll continue to do more Play-with-the-devs events (one soon-to-be-announced for April). We also want you to know that the emotes you've been using so effectively will be gaining a sibling in our upcoming fairytale RPG, Book of Travels. Again, to all Meadow players, a huge thank you for helping us test and develop this communication system and showing us how magical it can be.

That's all for now - thank you for all your comments here on Steam! (We've been a little absent lately but we'll be around more often to say hello in the future.)

Best Wishes,

Helen and the team at Might & Delight
