I'M SCREAMING WE GET NEW AREAS??? Calm down chrem

No wonder my TEFc senses were tingling! This is a great visual for future goals C:

while this is great and im super excited to see the plans laid out with new content in mind, the price thresholds seem very high. i'm guessing this is for 'padding' and not necessarily required to remake the game on the new engine? especially since the original goal was 6,000 less than what's listed here. i'm a bit confused.
correcting myself here, i misread. 46k includes new content. still concerned about the below, however!

also, on the indiegogo page, it's stated that perks won't be implemented until 34,000 euros are raised. is that purely intended for the new engine, with the intention of releasing perks earlier in the current game as it is, or will we only see the perks in the new engine after we've raised 38k?

LOOK HOW GORGEOUS THAT SUNDEER IS.

!!<3

I'm super excited about that Sadawaar and the turtles idea.....and new biomes is even better than new sets imo

Not gonna lie, kinda disappointed that the community site upgrade is waaaaay over there considering how many bugs it has :C

Sssssqqqqqqquuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeee. I can not wait to see this come out and thanks for extending the time.I wish i could give something towards making the goal but saddlily i can't.

TURTLES??!! I LOVE TURTLES I'M SO EXCITED (tho that picture is a tortoise)
BUT TURTLES!!

Oh gods.

I have no idea of what is the best between the new actions, the valley, the sadawaar, turtles or...

I have corrected the images, Aivilo. Good catch! Thanks.

Yes, the old pictograms and sets will be used in the new game. We hope to transition from one engine to the other smoothly.

Indeed: Tortoises, not Turtles!

I`m very much looking forward to see a blue sky in the forest.

BloomingSkull, we will be able to collect as much as possible in the coming month and then the rest of the funds will be collected (through pateron or however else) as the remake continues in phases and new things are added bit by bit. I hate to be confrontational but negativity will not help encourage people that the goal is reachacble.

BloomingSkull, a remake was promised for 40k. If 40k is collected, a full remake will be done. Extra content will come along extra money.
E: I'm sorry. Perkwise you're quite correct. Though it is in the rules of Indiegogo, that something applicable has to be given, should the goal not be reached if the campaign has a flexible goal.

Over fifty thousand? We'll make it. We'll have to! <insert struggling hero here>

If we can get enough to at least remake the game as it is but with a new engine, that would be amazing by itself.
But I'm really excited for the possibility of new content! Especially a new area! I have actually had dreams about coming back here and finding something completely new added.

Doesn't deliberately delaying functions needlessly slow down production...?

I don't see the technical advantage to separating the first and birch forest when it's presumable all already put together.
I suspect doing so wouldn't encourage donations more than seeing new content either.
I might be missing something though, if so, forgive me.

Very belatedly seconding J!n and adding that while I don't speak for anyone but myself, I find the goals prior to 40k a little discouraging. WHICH IS the opposite of what others have said but

The impression I got was we were getting a full remake of the game, not a remake of the phases? Everything that's been done has been done, as in the forest is what it is now. I never thought it was a 3 part-er or a trilogy or something like that, but more that patches, dlc, updates to the game have been made and TEF in the third phase is what it's meant to be. As in finished.
So it's confusing to see the first, incomplete portion of the game have money thrown into it instead of the current game, all in one go?
I haven't seen any modern game remakes go back and create previous patches and while I understand that we're building system from the ground up, I can't imagine why it wouldn't make more sense to instantly work on implementing the fawns, the spells, ect when you now know that's what the forest is. It's almost as if we're going back and remaking the unfinished version of TEF unnecessarily when what it is now, is the complete game.
Excitement stems from the prospect of a remake and additions, but if the game is being split up in phases and we're seeing 23k when we check donations, the thought of getting to 28k for what comes off as a beta version of the end forest doesn't seem like a lot of incentive to go scrabbling at our wallet. Especially when we'll need 40k to get to a point where we get our perks and to play the game we love now, regardless.
The previous two steps seem like an obstacle. I hope that doesn't sound harsh!

Pretty much I agree in thinking it would make more sense to just remake it all in one go, and too feel like it's unnecessary to split a game that was made complete over a few years into different parts when it's remade.

And I'd also love if it could be cleared up because I too might me missing something here.

With 40k we could remake the entire game plus implement the assets and logic for the IndieGogo perks (which are really fun additions in my opinion). So something would be added. Maybe some extra tweaks would be feasible too (like grazing and adult fawns keeping their Magic).

But if we close under 40k, we will have to be very rational and build the essentials first and see how far we get.

I can't believe how much they've slowed down. :< I shared the news to a couple places but we really need someone with a bigger name in order for it to be any use, sigh.

The forum for Meadow on Steam is here.
idk about the other one, never heard of it

Just a bump.
A little over 2 weeks left.

If the 551 current backers gave another €30, we'd hit the goal.
If they gave another €10, we'd at least secure Phase One.

It's a lot closer than it looks, guys! Keep spreading the word.

Any update?

It'd be rad of them to pay homage to TEF by announcement or something better:
They could make a special call/emote/action/animal and make it available ingame to those Meadowers who donated a certain amount to TEF,
if not to this campaign, then the upcoming paypal fundraiser.
That's what I'd do if I were in their place, why not.

Do they gotta be?
M&D are cashing in on the same genre: peaceful animal interaction multiplayer, which was discovered and tried by ToT 10 years ago.
