Four new hills (v01.029)
Some new possibilities are now integrated to influence the meadow (respectively the flowers on it). So I am happy to introduce four new hills for that: Water hill Water hills give water to the flowers around them with similar petal color as the hills color. Light hill Light hills

Further information and development (v01.006).

You can find now a first version of an information brochure about the species in A meadow Piece here: steamcommunity.com/app/964100/discussions/0/3398435622564389557/
Second
There were some changes and improvements in the game itself.

My seven years old found a very effective way to defend aliens, a way to effective. So I have changed two things for push hills. First, the costs for push hills increases. Second, push hills select only one enemy to push each time.
Labels for each hill are integrated.
The possible radius for building hills is now indicated by a green circle.
Typos are very annoying. Not just for you but also for me. Again and again, I am looking for these and this costs a lot time. Obviously, there were left several of them. Another recheck with a new method founds a lot now. Hopefully, these are the most of them. But surely, with further development new typos will arise and I will fight against them again.
To avoid irritations, short cut buttons are introduced much later in the introduction.

Spring comes earlier this year!
Hours, days, weeks, and finally years. After all that time, I bring the flowers to you. I am a programmer, psychologist and scientist. On the side, I have developed A meadow Piece. It started years ago with an idea for an unusual computer game. Over the years it developed into a

In addition, you find now an introduction game play video in the Communityhub.
Of course, there were some changes and improvements on A meadow Piece (v00.972).

A second level of control was implemented on the clients for server information. This should avoid the missed messages from server.
Press B for the list of shortcuts is also in the tutorial now.
I improve the health jumpers to improve performance.
The duration of poisoning is corrected. It does not run endless anymore.
If it possible to germinate, the seed moves now smooth into the ground.
Two more weeks left, keep calm and happy!
After all that work, I will take a short break and will be well prepared for the Launch.

The gameplay video and the guide about the species need some more time.

Tornados are fantastic
Here now a brief report about the Beta-Testing so far (v00.958). Bugs: First thing to say, tornados. They have had various difficulties. On one side, they broken the network. On the other side, the performance dropped down. Both are now fixed and the tornados can do what they do.
Here now a brief report about the Beta-Testing so far (v00.958).
Bugs:

First thing to say, tornados. They have had various difficulties. On one side, they broken the network. On the other side, the performance dropped down. Both are now fixed and the tornados can do what they do.
There were several modifications that had problems to find the right number of appropriate flowers. This is fixed now and the modifications work all fine.
The daytime was wrong synchronized in the Network. I shifted the daytime progress to the clients and synchronize it on specific points. So the sun and the moon move smooth now on all clients.
Nightlight does not flickers anymore.
Changes:

In the hill building mode a right click now just set back to the sphere flower, instead of deselecting everything.
If a selected sphere flower occupies a flower the selection switch to the flower.
Like the sphere flowers, aliens tried to bypass flowers on the way to their destination flowers. This is now turned off. Aliens damage everything that is in their way.
