Find out more and Wishlist Twinkleby on Steam! Watch the Twinkleby announcement trailer here. In Twinkleby, you will furnish your Victorian dollhouses and the gardens with an ever-expanding collection of decoration pieces.

These peculiar characters will interact with your creations and each other. They all have personalities of their own, and you need to figure out how to make them happy, because theyll make sure to reward you for it.
Travel further into the floating archipelago, unlock bigger islands and build larger neighbourhoods to attract more cute and curious residents.
As you progress in the game, you will unlock backdrops and seasons for your island creations and receive new colours and variations for your furniture. While playing, you also transform the music by changing the weather and seasons in your own little corner of the sky. Twinkleby is a cosy single-player decoration game created by indie development studio Might & Delight, creators of the Shelter games. The game is set to release on PC, Mac & Linux in 2025.

Twinkleby Key Features: Build neighbourhoods and decorate a variety of lush, floating islands with your growing collection of items. Furnish your houses to attract new cute residents that will make themselves at home. If you make them happy, they'll reward you. Choose the weather, season and backdrop for your colourful diorama and hear how the music changes with your choices for the scenery. Collect the shooting stars known as Stellars and spend them in Molligans Antiques on whatever catches your eye. Enjoy a cosy and peaceful gameplay in a widespread, floating archipelago without timed goals or lose conditions. All the very best from the explorers at Might & Delight PS. We want to make it clear that while we are currently developing Twinkleby, we are still working on patching Book of Travels with bug fixes, balancing passes and community requests.

As you may know, the video game industry is weathering a storm, and the team at Might & Delight have unfortunately not been spared from it. Earlier this year, we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to scale down our team. It has been a rough year, and weve been silent on our social channels as weve been focused on our team both the friends that weve had to say goodbye to, and the team that remains. Were still settling into our new normal, but we wanted to let you know that we are here, were working on our games and there are some things that we want to share with you. Weve been around for nearly fifteen years as an indie game developer, and we have a long, proud history of making games. We believe in game preservation and we aim to make sure our games are available to anyone who has supported us throughout the years. As we make decisions for existing titles and future projects, please know that this will be our guiding principle. Our team is smaller now, and we will need to be mindful of how many projects we work on simultaneously to ensure that we keep our team healthy and our projects manageable. However, our intention is to keep up maintenance of our existing titles, as well as finish development of projects that have been in the pipeline for a while. Regarding Book of Travels, our main focus for the foreseeable future will be to roll out several patches that are in the making including fixes and community requests and were also aiming to, among other things, do a balancing pass for the inventory, and look into releasing some map updates. During the next couple of months, youll notice our activity picking up on Discord and Steam. We want you to know that we are here, we listen to your feedback and well do our very best to keep you all in the loop as we roll out future patches. We are excited to say that we have a new game project slated for release in the fall of 2025. When we were a bigger team, we worked on the concept of this game in parallel for a couple of years, and at the time of writing this, were already halfway through development. We look forward to sharing more about it with you in the new year. For now, however, our main focus will be on our existing game catalogue. Also, for all you lovely people who supported Book of Travels on Kickstarter; please keep an eye on Kickstarter updates and/or your inbox. Beyond upcoming Steam updates, we will also be sharing some information directly with all backers early next year. Throughout this year, the one thing weve always come back to is the fact that we have such an incredible community. Were not exaggerating when we say that you are the main reason that we have managed to weather all the changes of 2024, and fight for a chance to not only continue the support of our previous games, but also to be able to release something new. A studio is only as good as its players, and were incredibly proud to have your support. Know that you can expect to see a lot more from us from now on. 2024 has been a turbulent and chaotic year (for many, not just in the video game industry) so we want to wish you all a peaceful and cosy end of the year. We really hope to start off 2025 with a sense of normalcy, and we want to be more active both with our online presence, and with our upcoming patches and announcements. Have an amazing Holiday and well be in touch soon Cheers from all the developers at Might & Delight

MEADOW INTENTIONS RELEASE

Introducing Intentions, a new feature intended both to give guidance to new players, and new things to do for seasoned Meadovians. [quote] Meadow is an open-concept experience by nature, allowing the player to shape it any way they want. However, from time to time we were receiving feedback, especially from new players, that sometimes they find themselves looking for guidance and a goal to pursue when they launch the game. To make them feel included, we came up with Intentions. Intentions are our way to give you a spark of inspiration. A task to follow if you are looking for one, both short and long term together with other players, or solo. You are rewarded for your efforts and the time you put into them, but the journey itself shall be a reward as well. That is why the tasks are focused on exploration and discovery, which have always been the foundation of the game, along with non-verbal communication. We hope that Intentions will enrich your gameplay and you will enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them. Emilia Stoch, a game designer [/quote] Check the daily, weekly and monthly intentions in the Journal view. Complete an intention to earn a reward!

• The daily intention will be refreshed at 10:00 am (CET) every day.
• The weekly intention will be refreshed at 10:00 am (CET) every Monday.
• The monthly intention will be refreshed at 10:00 am (CET) on the 1st of each month.

Each intention contains 1~2 tasks. Completing an intention requires completing all of its tasks. Currently, there are 3 types of tasks:

Collect

The collect task requires a certain number of flowers, fungi, puzzle pieces, etc. to be collected within the deadline of the intention.

Eat

The eat task requires a certain number of fruits to be eaten within the deadline of the intention.

Enter

The enter task requires entering a certain number of leaf piles, mud puddles, etc. within the deadline of the intention. NOTE! Repeatedly entering the same area in one session will not increase the count of enter task.

Fixes

• Fixed the bug that the player could eat fruit while sleeping.

Other Updates

• Repeatedly entering the same leaf pile/snow pile/lotus leaf in one session will no longer increase the count of the achievement jump into leaf pile/snow pile/lotus leaf.

New Bundle: The Shelter Collection

We also want to mention the Steam Summer Sale, currently in full effect. During this time, you'll be able to get all the Shelter titles for a scorching 70% off! But if you want to really save some money, we recommend the Shelter Collection. On top of the 70% discount we'll slice that cost in half and if you already own some of the titles in the bundle you'll pay even less. Now, that's what they'd call a good deal on Wall Street, or whatever.

Hello,

If you've been following our activity this lately you might have noticed that we like highlighting special animal days within our game. This time it's the giraffe's time to shine, as June 21 is World Giraffe Day! You can go to this link to learn more about these gentle giants, and how you can make a difference in the conservation efforts to bolster their numbers - because sadly they aren't doing great. We don't have playable giraffes in Meadow, but we do have goats with giraffe skins! So starting 00:01 tomorrow, running until 23:59 CEST, we'll unlock the playable Goat along with its Giraffe skin for everyone. Be a "giraffe", talk to your friends and families about the challenges they face and be good people. We wish you a nice weekend!

Hello,

We here at Might and Delight are very fond of cats, and the lynx in particular holds a special place in our hearts. Tomorrow, June 11, is International Lynx Day and we'll celebrate by unlocking the playable Lynx in Meadow for everyone between 00:01 and 23:59 CEST. We've been in love with these animals since we decided that the sequel to Shelter would feature a family of them and we think that might have rubbed off on you too. So we're looking forward to seeing a lot of lynxes online tomorrow!

Hello, On May 31 bird enthusiasts everywhere celebrate World Parrot Day and obviously we're going to as well! So, between from 12:00 CEST today, running for 24 hours, we will let everyone play as the Eagle with its Scarlet Macaw skin. Here's some fun stuff about the Scarlet Macaw: The scarlet macaw is a gorgeous kind of parrot that you might envision sitting on the shoulder of an archetypal pirate. In the wild, their life span is 40-50 years on average, but theyve been known to live up to a staggering 90 years in captivity! The scarlet macaw is easily identified by its vibrant red body and the strikingly blue wings and is probably what most of us imagine when we hear the word parrot. And that beak is not a joke, as it can snap a broomstick in half, allegedly. Not putting my finger in there, thats for sure. Not to worry though, theres no biting allowed in Meadow. See you in the skies!

Hello,

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, were 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 wont happen again. He reports that hes 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.

Hello,

On the 3rd of May we celebrate not one, but two amazing animals. 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 theyre 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 dont 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, theyre 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!

Hello,

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!

Hello,

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.

News

• We added a new unlockable action - sniffing! To unlock it, you need to collect 100 000 essence. Stop and smells the flowers!
• Weve 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 wont be able to see their markers on the minimap or regular map.

• Weve 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.

Were 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

• Tree's dont have outline and dont 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.

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

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.
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 youre playing on with us on Discord. We will continue to try to improve it, in order to bring you a better gaming experience.

Updates

• 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.

Known Issues

• 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!

• Please ensure that you are using Valves 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

• Click on the minimap with the mouse, or press the M key [for keyboard]/Left function button (Selection) [for gamepad] to open the map.

Others

• 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.

Hello,

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 were so used to talking about peacocks as if theyre 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. Whos going to stop you?"

Hello,

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!

Notes

• 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!

Hello,

Thanks for showing up for Eagle Day yesterday and Panda Day last week! 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!

Hello,

As you know, tomorrow is National Panda Day, but we have more in store for you than that. 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. See you in the skies, feathery friends!

Hello,

So far this year we've had the pleasure of celebrating the hedgehog and the zebra, but next week it's National Panda Day - and you know what that means. 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.

Hello,

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.

Hello 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!

Hello Meadowers,

The time has come for us to release the last in the planned series of anniversary 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 dont 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. Were 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/

Hello,

Hope you're all in good health and spirits! This week we release the second to last of the planned series of premium skins, the Striped Polecat & Leopard Skin Pack. If you would come across striped polecat while on a walk in Africa, it would be hard to blame you if your first natural instinct would be to keep your distance. These animals looks very much like skunks, and while wed wager that most people on earth have never been subjected to being sprayed by a skunk, most people do know that skunks spray predators with a horrifically foul smelling musk that they secrete from their anal glands. Striped polecats are, however, not skunks. So would you be safe from nasty bum spray with these fellers? No! They too can secrete their own blend of deodorant from hell, only not quite as potent as the one skunks have in their arsenal. Thats what experts say, at least. Were not keen to verify that claim. Note: bum spray is not included in this skin pack. Leopards also 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 theyre 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 dont get on their bad side. This skin pack contains two skins, one for the fox and one for the lynx. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2616000/Meadow_Striped_Polecat_and_Leopard_Skin_Pack/

Hello,

I hope you're doing well and are in good spirits! Today we have a little surprise in clothing form for you because we just released our first Meadow t-shirt. You're probably aware that we launched our merchandise store last week, but you Meadow fans may have noticed that we didn't have a specifically Meadow themed t-shirt in our initial stock. Well, now we do.
It comes in two playful and carefully selected colours, Lavender and Sage, and like all of our products they're made with the finest organic materials. We're really happy with how it turned out! But we wanted to make it extra special, and we did so by having it come with a download code for two skins for the playable Eagle character. These t-shirts are limited edition - only 100 has been made of each, so don't wait too long if you want one! Now, let me introduce the Peacock and the Scarlet Macaw!
Did you know that all peacocks are male? It makes sense when you think about it, but were so used to talking about peacocks as if theyre 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. Whos going to stop you? The scarlet macaw is a gorgeous kind of parrot that you might envision sitting on the shoulder of a archetypal pirate. In the wild their life span is 40-50 years on average, but theyve been known to live up to a staggering 90 years in captivity! The scarlet macaw is easily identified by its vibrant red body and the strikingly blue wings and is probably what most of us imagine when we hear the word parrot. And that beak is no joke, as it can snap a broomstick in half, allegedly. Not putting my finger in there, thats for sure. Not to worry though, theres no biting allowed in Meadow. NOTE: The Peacock and Scarlet Macaw Skin Pack can be purchased on its own, and is not exclusively tied to the t-shirts. Click here to get to the Might and Delight store. Thank you, Meadowers, for your continued support! Talk to you again soon! Best wishes, Oliver and the team at Might and Delight https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615970/Meadow_Peacock_and_Scarlet_Macaw_Skin_Pack/?beta=0

Hello!

Another week, another premium skin pack. This time it's the Streaked Tenrec & Leopard Cub Skin Pack. The lowland streaked tenrec, also known as the Madagascar hedgehog shrew, is as bizarre looking as it is endearing. Its most distinguishing features are the black coat with yellow streaks, its long nose and the black and yellow quills. Its also the only mammal known to use stridulation, something thats more common amongst insects and snakes. This means that they rub the tips of their quills together to generate a high frequency noise, thought to be a way for mother and babies to communicate. Unfortunately, they dont come in blue and they dont wear running shoes. The leopard cub doesnt need an introduction, surely. Theyre kittens, but cooler since they have gorgeous spots and grow up to be beautiful and fearsome predators large enough to take you down in single combat. At Might and Delight were not afraid to break your heart, though, so heres a sad fact for you: its estimated that less than 40% of leopard cubs survive their first year. Now, you may be curious about why the survival rate is so low, but we didnt have it in us to research it. It could be leopard cub eating monsters for all we know. You go find out, if you really want that knowledge. This pack contains two skins, one for the Hedgehog and one for the Lynx Cub. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615980/Meadow_Streaked_Tenrec_and_Leopard_Cub_Skin_Pack/

Hello,

We hope you're all well! We are great, and ecstatic to finally be able to say that our very own merchandise store is now live and operational. This is the first time weve been able to offer premium quality items with Might and Delight prints but its been highly requested by fans for a long while now. Click here to visit the store page. On day one we offer a selection of t-shirts, tote bags and mugs but we have mouse mats and notebooks on the way, and were going to listen closely to what our community would like us to expand our assortment with. The t-shirts currently on offer are labelled First Edition on the neck tag and there are only 1000 of them available for now. We might not produce these particular prints again once theyre gone, so dont miss out! And oh, the Steam Autumn Sale is now on, and most of our games are currently discounted - a good time to fill upp any gaps you might have in your MaD collection. With that we wish you a very pleasant day and holiday season. Talk to you again soon! Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Hello!

Today we're launching our third set of premium skins for Meadow. Welcome the Lemming Family Skin Pack to the game! The lemming is a feisty rodent (the real ones, not the video game ones), about which there are lots of misconceptions. The most enduring one is about their tendency to jump from cliffs simply because the leader of the pack steers them towards it, the truth of which has been rigorously disputed by experts - but this phenomenon still inspired what is called the lemming effect in psychology, meaning that people sometimes exhibit certain behaviours just because the majority amongst their peers behave in that way. What is indisputable, however, is that they are wonderful creatures that have been documented to stand up to predators many times their own size rather than running away, causing animals looking for an easy meal a fair bit of confusion. The Lemming Family Skin Pack contains two skins, one for the adult Badger and one for the Badger Cub. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2615950/Meadow_Lemming_Family_Skins_Pack/

Meadow Classic

For anyone who wants to play Meadow as it has been before this update, and any future update we apply, we've created a separate branch of the game that we call Meadow Classic. You can view it as Meadow frozen in time. Players on Classic will inhabit the same space as players on the regular branch, but won't get the benefit of new updates and won't see new skins or be able to engage with any new features. It's for those of you who want Meadow to stay exactly the same. How to join Meadow Classic:

• Right-click the game in your Steam library
• Go to Properties
• Go to Betas
• Choose "meadow_classic"

New features

• Initial support of HTTPS servers to avoid antiviruses blocking connections. The initial test server for this solution is called Europe Beta.
• Project is now updated to the newer version of Unity
• Sense mode now highlights flowers and puzzle pieces
• Analytics are now added to improve the current and future experience for the players
• The default setting of the camera for all new players will be the camera following the player; the existing players can pick this setting for camera behavior in the settings
• The settings now include the option to set culling to eyesight mode, that is supposed to reflect differences between the capabilities of different animals in the real world
• The eagle now has a smaller collider to ease the navigation while flying through the forests
• Remote config has been implemented to the project; for more information please check out [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHf4rBNx9I&ab_channel=MightandDelight]this video
• News pop-up is now connected with the remote config tool and will be displaying news after each update
• New lobby screen

Fixes

• News popup: if there's no news, the game no longer hangs/crashes at boot
• The server ping reports are no longer unreliable, and do not falsely report server status
• Reworked network code in an attempt to make connections more reliable.
• Changes in network infrastructure
• The Den now displays the correct amount of essence on startup
• Spawning of collectables in the Jungle is working as intended - the abundance now becomes the new Jungle reality. Fruit and flowers enjoyers - rejoice!

Known issues

• Some meshes in the tropical region being distorted on some GPUs
• Funghi and crystals are not detected in the sense mode
• Some of the cloud models being rotated vertically
• Some people experience issues with connection and for some it still takes a few attempts
• Mac not supported

Hello!

We're happy to be back working on Meadow after a hiatus, and just like we outlined in a recent update, we have exciting plans for new features, quality of life improvements and beautiful cosmetics - both free and paid. Today we'd like to share some information on the latter. These are the 7th anniversary skin packs. [previewyoutube=MfbwqyUqv9o;full][/previewyoutube] As you might have guessed watching the video, each skin pack comes with two skins and will cost 2,99 euros each. We have a series of six packs planned to be released weekly starting from November 2, mounting up to twelve unique skins. These are:

• Himalayan Rabbit & Koala Skin Pack - November 2
• Blue Poison Dart Frog & Anteater Skin Pack - November 9
• Streaked Tenrec & Leopard Cub Skin Pack - November 16
• Lemming Family Skin Pack - November 23
• Striped Polecat & Leopard Skin Pack - November 30
• Zebra & Hyena Skin Pack - December 7

Also, if you're reading this on the day it's posted (October 26th), the team is getting ready to have a Play With the Devs session with you all. It will happen between 3pm and 4pm central European time on the European server, Grove 5. We'll start att the Center Tree, and hope to see you there! Thank you for your continued support! We'll have more to share about the future of Meadow in the near future. Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Hello Meadowers

Today we'd like to officially reveal that we have a new series of paid skin packs coming to Meadow to be released weekly from the start of November until the holiday season. And we can confirm that the first of these packs include the Himalayan Rabbit skin and the Koala skin for the Bear cub. This skin pack can be wishlisted now and will be available very soon. A lot of changes and additions are going to be made to Meadow in the near future. We very much believe that it will make the game more engaging and fun, as well as put it in a better position to continue to grow going forward. But we also realise that some players are going to want to have Meadow stay exactly the same, and to that end we've made sure that we will keep a branch that we call Meadow Classic alive for anyone who wants things to stay the same. Any new features and new skins we put out will be unavailable on the Classic branch.
While we have your attention we will kindly remind you of our little in-game meet & greet that we have planned for the 7 year anniversary on October 26. This will happen between 3pm and 4pm Swedish time, which translates to 6am pacific time and 9am eastern. We'll meet by the center tree in Grove 5 on the European server. That's all for today, friends! Thanks for your time and your continued support! We'll have more to share in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Hello Meadowers!

First off, on behalf of the entire team, I'd like to thank you for your support and outpouring of encouragement on the recent news update regarding the future of Meadow. We're very happy to be able to return to this game and even happier that so many of you are onboard for the ride. But today we want to tell you about something else. As we're approaching the 7th anniversary of Meadow, we thought it would be fun to set up a little multiplayer session where you will get to play with the developers - both old and new team members.
This will happen on the 26th of October, between 3pm and 4pm CET. We will start at the Center Tree in Grove 5 on the Europe server. From there it will be an hour of wholesome fun and hide-and-seek. I look forward to meeting you in your animal avatar forms, and I know the team does too. Save the date, and let's celebrate seven years of Meadow together! Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

Hello!

Its been a good while since we gave you an update on Meadow, and as we approach the anniversary we thought we would touch base and let you know what the future for Meadow looks like - at least in broad terms. As many of you know we at Might and Delight have recently released Book of Travels to Early Access and rebuilt our team, and so weve also been able to allocate more staff and resources to the further development of Meadow. Whilst we arent ready to go into detail on exactly what we're working on today, we can confirm that we do indeed have plans for new features, quality of life improvements, stability updates, downloadable content and more for Meadow. In the coming weeks we will update and reveal the specific details of these plans and what it means for Meadow and the world of Shelter in general. The development of these new features has already started, as people may have noticed with our first beta release, but as this grows it will affect the overall production cost of Meadow, and so in the future we will raise the price of the game. This will also put us in a better position to support Meadow long term. Were expecting this change will be applied in early November, to coincide with new features being released. Exciting times ahead, friends! Again, youll hear from us again soon - so stay tuned in the meantime. Best, Oliver & the team at Might and Delight

We celebrate a new addition to the great fauna of Meadow: an Elephant Calf. This little elephant calf will be available to everyone who owns Shelter 3 and is our way of saying thank you to everyone who added it to their Steam Library. To celebebrate the Elephant calf we have now have 90% discount on Meadow and 20% discount on Shelter 3! [previewyoutube=hqOvGgD3VtU;full][/previewyoutube]

Get the Shelter Bundle: Save 80 USD get 30 items

For even better value we're running a super sale on the entire World of Shelter]Shelter Bundle. It contains 5 games and 13 add-ons, which together will give you access to more than 30 Meadow unlockables. For the calf's first week the bundle is discounted by 80%, (so less than 20 USD) and if you've already become a herd member by adding Meadow, Trails and the Shelter 2 Soundtrack to your library (see below!), these items will be discounted from that, making an even smaller total price.
There are many more animals, skins and emotes to unlock in Meadow some can be acquired by simply finding hidden puzzle pieces in the game, whereas others will be unlocked once you have other Shelter titles in your Steam library. Learn more about these unlockables on this Fandom wiki page. We hope you enjoy Meadow and our new family member in the World of Shelter. And we hope you enjoy the other titles and DLC's as well! All the best and happy herding! The Shelter Team xx

Dear Shelter Lovers,

We recently made an overview of all Shelter Games, but somehow we overlooked our special baby of the family Paws And since Paws is five years old this month, were celebrating with a discount and a little bit of lynx love! Those of you whove been to hell and back to save those babies in Shelter and Shelter 2 will be pleased to know you can go all-out cute and play as a baby lynx cub trying to reunite with their family. Paws is a small game with a big heart and is a much-loved favourite here in the studio, and this month this cub-that-never-grows-up is five years old! https://store.steampowered.com/app/434000/Paws/

A heart-warming, emotional adventure

The journey in Paws is a classic adventure that takes you to new friendships and more than the odd twist. Heres what reviewers on Steam say about Paws: Like any other Shelter game you find yourself overly attached to the characters and crying every time you either die or lose another. Great game, beautiful art, and touching story, 10/10 Charlie Foxtrot This game is beautiful and wonderful. Just from the beginning, you can tell that Might and Delight put lots of work into the designs and patterns in the forest. I say that this game is adorable and takes you on a little lynx's journey throughout her first steps. Get ready for a roller coaster! BCJImagine026 [previewyoutube=I9sn0ERcc2s;full][/previewyoutube]

From lynx cubs to elephants

To celebrate the littlest of our heroes as we gear up to set the biggest ones loose in Shelter 3 on March 30th, were sharing lots of Paws love on Instagram @mightanddelight and discounting Paws by 50% right here on Steam. If youre thinking of buying Shelter 3 and dont yet have any Shelter Games, adding Paws to your library will also set you up with a 10% loyalty discount (around 20% with the launch discount too!). [previewyoutube=I3Dso0dKnjg;full][/previewyoutube] https://store.steampowered.com/app/977630/Shelter_3/ And if youd like to talk more about animals, animal games or the world of Shelter we have a really great community on our Discord, so hop right in and say hi!
Thanks so much for spending time with us! Have you played Paws? What were your biggest moments? Wed love to hear about them! Best Wishes, Helen and the Dev Team x PS. Please help us reach more people by sharing this post on social media. Thanks!

Sorry for the late post about the Buffalo statues, after receiving some feedback we wanted to come up with a solution to keep Meadow from being too crowded with statues. We heard you, both here on Steam and on Discord, and we have made some changes. The statues will from now on rotate and only be available one at the time. This means that once we have reached all 10 statues, the elephant staues will be back again, and so on. Enjoy the Buffalos for now, until the next animal statue makes its appearance!

Hello!

Following the brilliant turnout for our Meadow birthday party last month we've been listening to your feedback and made some plans for more statues and achievements. That's right, the fun will go on! Only this time the statues will stay for good, which is just as well because they're not easy to spot!

Every Month a Creature

For each month until the release of Shelter 3 next year, we'll be placing ten statues of an animal from Shelter 3 in the Meadow world. That's nine more animals altogether and we're going to reveal them one by teasey one as the months roll by ;) As with the anniversary elephants, you'll unlock achievements for the first, fifth and tenth statues you find.

Spot the Crocs!

Next you'll be able to hunt low slung crocs across the game world - check them out on podium number two and keep your eyes peeled! We hope you enjoy seeking them out and showing the way and sharing your findings, and best of all, there is absolutely no rush. We hope you like the crocs! See you in the Meadow! Best Wishes and stay connected, Helen and the Shelter Team xx

Hello!

A great big thank you to all of you who shared and played our Anniversary Play Event last weekend: we broke our 10k player target and raised a welcome donation for Safe in Our World. We saw lots of you sharing the event on your social channels and some of you helping newbies around the place, and we do appreciate that for a fair few of you the Meadow was a little more crowded than you're used to - so thanks for sharing your space for the party <3

Elephants return

We're glad you enjoyed helping one another visit them all, and we've heard that many of you don't feel super keen on time limited achievements, so we'll be putting them back for another ten days, which we hope will be enough time for new players to find them all and will allow previous ones to finish up. Expect to see them some time on May 5th. We might add a few extra too, more info on that next week. You'll get achievements for the first, fifth and tenth elephant that you visit.

More Shelter 3 statues to come...

The elephants were so popular that we thought we'd make some more statues for you to find, so in the next couple of months we'll be dropping a different kind of animal in for another ten days. Every animal will be from Shelter 3, and our first new animal will be appearing in June. We hope this is good news for you and thanks again for a really great super feel good anniversary weekend! Best Wishes and Stay Safe! Helen and the Team

Dear Everyone,

Wherever you are, youre most likely reading this against a background of troubling newsreels and unusual routines, of uncertain futures and surreal conversations with friends, family, co-workers, strangers... At Might & Delight were working from our homes trying to manage the new demands of isolation, stay-at-home kids and ambient instability. And while we push ahead with development schedules for Shelter 3 and Book of Travels were taking a new look at ways to connect with you in these new times. (If you have any thoughts or suggestions, wed love to hear them.) As you may recall, wed already planned to do a 'Play with the Devs' this spring, but we hadnt expected it would be in this newly forming, stay-at-home world. With so many at home and alone, theres a bittersweet flavour to the connections we make in virtual worlds. So its with extra special warmth that we invite you to join us in Meadow on Friday. We will be there at 13.00 CEST wearing transparent dev skins, and to add a little extra fun we thought wed play a game of Hide & Seek: youll know when youve succeeded in finding a dev by the way the skin will transform! And be sure to come and find your animal friends on the Steam forum or Discord after the session. It's fair to say that most of us have heads full of grey clouds right now, so lets find some sunshine in adventuring together! We are all looking forward to it very much and we hope to see you there. In the meantime, please stay safe and look after one another. Best Wishes, Helen and the team at Might & Delight

Hello! Today we are really excited to share this, our newtrailer! We hope you like it. Much like an elephant, development is coming along slowly but surely. Currently the team areworking 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 forMeadowuntil Shelter 3 is released. Pulling resources away from Meadow means that we can fullycommit to our deadline for Shelter 3, however we do have plans for some funMeadow updates when that time comes - we think it will be worth the wait! Meadow in the Meantime Meadow has been an unexpectedhigh point in our journey andwe 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 Meadowrecently, and we'll continue to do more Play-with-the-devs events (one soon-to-be-announcedfor April). We also want you to know that the emotes you've been using so effectivelywill 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

Dear Meadow Dwellers, Last week we announced our brand new RPG, Book of Travels. After working quietly on it for three years, we are super excited to tell you, our loyal Meadow fans, about this new online adventure... That's because your love of Meadow and the warm and creative community that you have built around it was our starting point for making this game. Book of Travels will be finished in late 2020, and we hope that you'll find lots to love there. We're also posting to let you know that we're launching our very first Kickstarter in just over a month! We decided to Kickstart the game so that fans can get more involved in helping to build the game world. Again, this is thanks to all the great feedback you've given us in helping to make Meadow a richer game experience. We've created a newsletter for Travellers which contains early game reveals and behind-the-scenes lore and concept art. If you'd like to sign up - and get a Discord invitation too - go to www.mightanddelight.com/rpg. Thank you so much for being the wonderful wildlife that you are! Helen and the Might and Delight Team

Hello all! It's been two years since we released Meadow (actually in 2 days, but we're cheating on that). It's been an interesting project to work with, and we've appreciated all your input and enthusiasm along the way. Todays update is a mix of a lot of ideas and input, shaped through an M&D lens. Regardless if you're an old or new player, we hope that you'll enjoy our second anniversary update. But without further ado, here is what's new for today:
Content additions

• You can now lock the emote hotbar.
• There is now a north facing arrow in the map view.
• You can now hold Left Control when scrolling to zoom the camera to change the vertical offset of the camera.

Bug fixes

• Muted and blocked animals are now saved between sessions.

Hotfixes

• A lot of laggyness that came with the update should now be solved.

• The amount of animals in the pause view should now be correct.

Hi all During the last days, there has been change of content in Shelter Complete Edition and Shelter: The Heart Edition, where people who bought the packages earlier got more titles automatically. This should now be fixed and be back to the state that it was before. We're sorry for the inconvenience we have caused. Thank you for your understanding! /Might & Delight

[ 2018-09-14 09:11:18 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello all! It has almost been two amazing years now with Meadow – a project we love to update because of your support and dedication to the game. We have spent a lot of time to fix bugs and add content. Your suggestions and enthusiasm has been invaluable on that journey. Because of all this work spent, those who buy Meadow today get a completely different game than those who got it in the beginning. And that is why we have decided to raise the price on Meadow. After the week of the anniversary update, we will change the price to 4.99$. We thought it would be fair to tell you this in advance. If you've been interested to try Meadow, or if you want to talk a friend into trying – there's still time to get it before the price change. We will have a sale during the anniversary week (the week of October 24th). And after that sale has ended, we will change the price. Thank you all for helping us in creating Meadow, and we hope that you will get a lot of joy from the upcoming updates. /The Might & Delight team

[ 2018-09-10 08:17:26 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi all! It's that time of year, and we now have two art contests going for our second anniversary update for Meadow (October 24th). (We can also reveal that there will be a new Meadow comic released close to the anniversary - more info on that later.) In one art contest, we want to see your best Meadow memory. You can win a key to the upcoming Meadow comic – and get it a day early. Read more here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/486310/discussions/0/1735462352456988782/
The other one is for designing a new Hedgehog skin. Read more here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/486310/discussions/0/1735462352456997189/
We look forward to seeing your beautiful art!
