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

Book of Travels Kickstarter Ending Soon!

Hello!

As I write we are nearing the end of our Kickstarter campaign for Book of Travels, and if you've been thinking of getting involved and backing us but haven't done it yet, now is the time!  

We write to you now to update you on two very important topics! Rewards and... a cat!




Free games now included + map book
We want to make sure you don't miss out on our last little bit of Kickstarter adventure... It's been a crazy campaign and we've flown a little bit by the seat of our pants, which included adding some extra free things to the rewards bundles. Every pledge Traveller and above now gets Meadow + an illustrated Map Book, and every pledge Settler and above gets (Meadow and) Tiny Echo + an illustrated Map Book. (If you already have these games you are free to give the key to a friend!)

Flik the cat goes to Braided Shore

Did you know we have one member of the team who is not quite human? She is Flik, our visiting cat. To celebrate the end of the campaign, and to honour the calm and chaos she brings to the studio we're going to add her into the game as a rare event, try to spot her on your travels!

Here is Flik in real life!

Thank you so much for checking out the campaign in these final hours! We will be much more present here on Steam in the coming weeks, and we'll be opening a new thread where you can add your game ideas!

If’ you haven’t clicked your way to the  campaign yet there may still be time! Here's the link once again.

Halfway through Kickstarter, and we're making games together!

Hello Everyone!

If you didn't catch us on Kickstarter already, we just want let you know that the campaign is going really well and we'd love you to check it out! We've had a lot of great feedback and today we are even on the front page of www.kickstarter.com!

We've grown to a 3.5 thousand community and unlocked stretch goals for draisine travel and in-game Go, and we're on the cusp of unlocking a play-music-together feature! We revealed new stretch goals today (which include a whole new range of pets!). They're all the result of the conversations we're having with people on Discord and in Kickstarter and beyond... If you haven't already joined us, please do!

Best Wishes,

Helen and the team at Might & Delight

Tiny Echo is released

We are delighted to tell you all that our latest project, Tiny Echo, is now available on Steam!
In this point-and-click adventure, you go on a postal round and solve puzzles in order to deliver messages to the spirits.

We hope this will interest you, and that you'll have a lovely meditative stroll through the undergrowth.
