The Founders' Festival Begins!
Acorn Hollow is officially open to all. To mark the occasion we've thrown a week-long Founders' Festival — gather in the plaza, hunt commemorative acorns, and watch the fireworks over the pond at dusk. Thank you to everyone joining the meadow on day one. 🌰
- Founders' Festival live in the plaza through the week.
- Commemorative acorns spawning across all four corners.
- New arrivals now spawn directly in the town square.

Weather Rolls Into the Hollow
The sky can't stay clear forever. A new dynamic weather cycle brings passing summer rain to the meadow — the light dims, drops fall, a soft fog drifts in, and then the sun burns back through. Not a fan of the drizzle? You can turn effects down in Settings.
- Added rolling rain with dimming light and ground fog.
- New "Reduced effects" toggle in the Settings panel.
- Rain now ripples nicely across the pond surface.

Knapsacks, Collectibles & Respawns
The meadow now has treasures worth gathering. Walk over an acorn, berry, stick, or pebble and it drops straight into your knapsack, stacking up to 99. Gathered spots refill after a short while, so there's always more to find.
- Added four collectibles with auto-pickup on contact.
- Press I to open your knapsack.
- Collected items respawn on a timer.

Acorn Hollow Takes Shape
The meadow got its landmarks: a plaza of twelve pastel cottages ringed in white picket fence, a forest of sixty-odd trees to the south, a boulder-strewn ridge to the northeast, and a glassy pond to the northwest. One hand-tuned world, identical for every adventurer.
- Built the town plaza, southern wood, rocky ridge, and pond.
- Solid trees, rocks, and buildings you'll walk around.
- Click-to-move pathfinding routes you around obstacles.
