Live Update, March 28 2024

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Tree's don’t have outline and don’t twitch anymore.
  • Distance of detection of different elements in the sense mode has been adjusted
  • Fog has been moved further back.
  • Pheasant double jump is easier to execute.
  • The selection navigation issues appearing while switching between WSAD and mouse are now fixed.
  • The speed of movement of the flower and bush animation has been changed to a proper value.
  • 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. The game looks more like it used to if the anti-aliasing is disabled in Settings > Graphics page.




If you are still experiencing excessive blur, please also make sure that you are using a proper resolution.

[h3]Motion sickness issue[/h3]
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.



Additionally, the frame rate and whether V Sync is enabled or not can affect motion sickness to some extent. Please adjust them to a more comfortable value in Settings > Graphics page.



If changing settings doesn't help with motion sickness issues, do not hesitate to share your experience, game settings, screenshots, or gameplay recordings and details about the device you’re playing on with us on Discord.

We will continue to try to improve it, in order to bring you a better gaming experience.

[h3]Updates[/h3]
  • Close button which can be clicked by mouse is now added for animal editor view and player list.
  • Emotes selected on the quick selection wheel can are now sent upon releasing the quick selection wheel button.


[h3]Known Issues[/h3]
  • Some of the texts in game are still being translated, and they will be displayed in English temporarily.
  • Fruit trees and bushes are visually glitched. The fruits are still okay to eat though!

Meadow Live Update, March 26

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • Meshes of the trees in the Jungle area are not distorted anymore.


[h3]Updates[/h3]
Gamepad support

  • You can now use a gamepad to play Meadow!
  • Grab your gamepad and run through the Meadow with all the animals in the world!
  • Please check the detailed gamepad control instructions in Settings > Controls page.


Steamdeck support
  • With the release of gamepad support, we no longer need to map the Steamdeck's keys to keyboard keys to enjoy Meadow as well!
  • Please ensure that you are using Valve’s default gamepad input mapping in the Steamdeck control settings


New UI design
  • All user interfaces for the whole game have been redesigned.
  • Not only does it have a more uniform appearance and smoother animation and responsiveness, but it can also be controlled well via gamepad.
  • If you are using a gamepad, just press D-Pad arrows to navigate and select an emote in game, and press B button to escape from UI input. It is more convenient to use the quick selection wheel to send emotes.


Emote quick selection wheel
  • The customised favourite emotes have been moved to quick selection wheel.
  • For keyboard & mouse players: Hold C key to open quick selection wheel, select one emote and click to send it. You can still use 0-9 number keys to send them. Customise them by pressing X key.
  • For gamepad players: Hold Left shoulder button (LB) to open quick selection wheel, select one emote by right joystick and release the joystick to send it. Customise them by pressing X button.




Minimap & map
  • You can find a minimap in the bottom right corner of the screen. It will now show the marker of the nearest other player who is more than 10 metres away from you. Also, it will show the marker of the Big Tree, Home and Landmark you set in the world.
  • Click on the minimap with the mouse, or press the M key [for keyboard]/Left function button (Selection) [for gamepad] to open the map.


[h3]Others[/h3]
  • Due to the redesign of the UI and improvements to the saving system, you will need to re-modify the game settings if you have ever personalised them.
  • Players on the production build and the beta build can once again play together.


[h3]Known Issues[/h3]
  • Some of the texts in game are still being translated, and they will be displayed in English temporarily.

National Peacock Day in Meadow

[h3]Hello,[/h3]

Anyone feeling fabulous? 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?"

World Bear Day in Meadow

[h3]Hello,[/h3]

World Bear Day is observed on March 23, and you know what that means! 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. Join us!

Meadow Live Update March 20

[h3]Notes[/h3]

  • Unfortunately, due to our re-architecting of the underlying logic in beta release, we had to separate players playing the default version from the beta version to avoid causing some fatal clashes. 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.
  • Don't worry though, once we officially release this update, everyone will be able to get together again!
