- Quests, emails and the cats have eyes - 26 June 2026
Hey there strays!So glad to finally implement the quest and email systems into Mow Meow! Apparently making them work nicely in multiplayer was a challenge. ːTECsweatːːbbtcatːOn this build we have 16 emails and 2 questlines. Please let me know what you think of the UI flow! I mean, I think it's good but... of course I'm going to say that! ːcsdsmileːThe start of the questlines could be better, so if you're stuck here's a hint - one is by standing on the litterbox in the water for a second, the other is by reading the first email, then wait for the emails. ːmoustachepussːI can't wait to start adding a bunch of NPC questgivers, but before that happens, I need to work on new sections!!!! That will be the next focus. Want to be kept in the loop? Join the Discord or visit the blog. ːpraisesunːWhat's in the buildEmail system (16 emails for now)Quest system (2 questlines for now)Achievement view…
- one year later... - 1 April 2026
sorryaboutyourcats here to say thank you for playing Mow Meow!From additions like smooth mowing & mow stopping, to shoes & hats, to a new area & music - a bunch of good stuff has been added since the EA release a year ago.The fact that people are enjoying their time in janky Mow Meow means a lot to me, and I'll consider it done when 4 biomes are complete (though it may be like Diablo 2 with a rushed Act IV 😉).So what's happening for the next major build?⛅ New biome: Cloudtail Drifts🙀 Nippy (An annoying BonziBuddy-style cat that gives you tips)🐈 New NPCs and voice acting for Puma📜 Quest log / Task list (What should I call it..!?)📖 Item info window & better onboarding (video tutorials)👀 Object transparency for things that block your kitty🎩 New furr, hats, shoes and achievements🎮 Better controller & keyboard support... and more!!I'll be taking a 2 week vacation on April 4th and wil…

- v0.4.555 - 9 July 2025
ːbbtcatː another smol updateon extreme idle the cat shouldn't peace out anymore and instead bring you to the main menu where you can contemplate what to have for dinner adjusted how the mowing gets triggered to avoid having the client or host stuck with it when you join a game and a cat is already mowing because they just won't stop can't stopthe server now handles more crap instead of the client resolving a bunch of issues but probably introducing more issues in the future that will be fixed in 2 yearsprogress? progress! ːmt2_bonguyːsorryaboutyourcats

Hello Mowmeowians! Er.. Meowzers? Uhhh..*clears throat*Hey there.. you! ːTECsweatː ːpoemgːFor the past few weeks I've failed to migrate fully over to mirror / steamworks and finally started to backtrack changes last week out of lack of patience (sign to meditate again? perhaps!). Now I come with an update - not the fun one with cosmetics, more furr, the level up system and more areas to explore, but an update that's needed. Private lobbies are now a thang'Hosts are now adminsAdmins can now kick kitties outKeyboard controls shown with Momo added to main menuCat may still get tired of mowing, but they should pop back up on the next segmentVivox chat filter enabled at all times (will change in future)Lobbies disappear quicker now when the host closes it out (unless they quit the game)Username automatically taken from Steam meowWhen host turns into a client or vice versa, chat was broken… n…

- Mow Meow debuts today! 🐈💨🌿 - 1 April 2025
Mow Meow was made from January's 31-day challenge, where I worked on it daily in hopes to have something playable by the end of the month. It worked, as it forced me to remove some of my perfectionism (I mean, look at the game! 😹) and just release something, with the aim to be so embarrassed by it that it would force me to keep working on it - and here we are! 🙋♂️ The current state of the game is more Early Early Early Alpha than Early Access ! There are a lot of things planned, as shown on this public-facing Airtable, though it is going to take some time (juggling work, Lego hat creation & Mow Meow). Regardless of the jank and the incomplete nature of Mow Meow, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have - it's fun to cut catnip with others, collect new furr and hang out. See you in the boroughs! sorryaboutyourcats
