Meadow News

[h3]Hello,[/h3]

Tomorrow, April 27, is International Hyena Day. 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!

[h3]Hello, [/h3]

Did you know that today (April 25) is National Deer Day? 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.

• We added a new unlockable action - sniffing! 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.
  

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.
  

An indicator to show the camera direction has been added both in the minimap and the map.
The quick selection wheel can now be closed by pressing Right Mouse Button.
Now you can press Tab key to show and hide all emotes. It can be customised in game settings.

• You can now hold RB (right shoulder button) to show/hide in-game UI with the gamepad.
  

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.

[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.

• 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!
