Hey there Ylanders! Another month, another Experimental Build for you to sink your teeth into, before the imminent arrival of the update itself! Available to every Steam user, the Experimental branch offers players a chance to: test upcoming features & changes test your games & scripts report any bugs & provide early feedback But first, a couple of things to be aware of: How to try the Experimental Build go your Steam library right-click Ylands select Properties, click the "Betas" tab and enter "ExperimentalIWillBackUpMySaves" as the password (excluding the double quotes) this will unlock the "i_will_back_up_my_saves" branch after selecting the branch and confirming it, Steam will begin downloading the new experimental branch Important information Now is a good time to very strongly urge everyone trying the experimental branch to back up all your game data (saves, scenarios, etc.). You can do that by: browsing to "<steam installation folder>/userdata/<your steam id>" copying the whole "298610" folder. Keep in mind that the experimental environment uses a completely new user database, meaning that the game will require either playing as a guest or creating a new BI account (available through a link in the game) and then creating a new Ylands character. If you leave your saves folder intact, you will be able to load your older saves and scenarios with these caveats: loading older saves will create a new character for you editing scenarios will result in the scenario having more contributors - the user from the live version and the user from the experimental version For these reasons, we very heavily WARN AGAINST using any data created/modified in the experimental branch in the live version. Also keep in mind that since experimental and live environments are completely separate, you won't be able to see your friends playing the live version in the Social tab. With that out of the way...onto the good stuff! Update 1.6 changelog (experimental) Please note: since we optimizing building blocks (all should be finished in 1.7) you may notice some slight color differences when compared with the original blocks. This is unfortunately something we cannot fully fix - if you detect such a difference, you can adjust the color yourself (these blocks are already optimize and won't further edited) HIGHLIGHTS New exploration changes We've finalized some of the features introduced in 1.5 and fixed many related issues. We are already working on some really cool Exploration features and improvements for 1.7, so let us know what you think. Custom scenarios for Exploration We can now add handcrafted games into exploration - you will encounter these while exploring the world. We believe it will spice up the Exploration experience even more. Our plan is to let you, the creators, do the same in one of the future updates. That is our ultimate goal - allowing you to enhance Exploration with your creations made in the Editor. Vendor NPC crafting You can now summon various types of vendors for your game by crafting vendor banners in the new "Pigeon post" workstation and placing them. Vendors sell basic resources, but even some rare materials. Ownership of building blocks Building blocks are now easily removable by the player who placed them. You also don't have to wait two minutes for the blocks to harden, now they harden instantly. Protective barrier removal Protective barrier has been removed from the game and replaced with Co-op mode, which has similar functionality, but applying to the whole game instead of a small area. Co-op game mode If you mark your game as a "Co-op Game", you will become a mayor, which gives you the right to assign privileges to other players with which they can deconstruct, build and damage entities. Propeller pack gameplay optimization for Exploration The propeller pack was a bit too strong and once acquired the player never felt in danger again. The propeller pack now generates heat while in flight. The heat will be increased every time the propeller pack is used (even when you just staying in the air on the same spot). Reaching the heat limit will overheat the propeller pack and force you to glide to the ground. Building station We simply want you to make the building easier and faster. Also, the new limitation of the propeller pack can make the building more difficult, and therefore we add this new option to enter free-camera which lets you fly around while you still have the ability to build. General UX improvements 1.6 The first impression is the most important so we decide to tweak and adjust a lot of details in Ylands interface. Play local/MP/continue game flow UX improvements Improved UX for new games. We understand that all the options regarding local, multiplayer, or hosted games were confusing for a lot of the players, so we redid it from scratch. Let us know what do you think about it. Game publishing experience improvements Publishing your game to the Workshop should now be easier and more intuitive. We got rid of confusing terms like "protected" and improved the general publishing workflow. Random Encounters' themes and content additions Despite its name, random encounters were too random, so we decide to put things in order a little bit. Random encounters are now sorted into themes and every yland generated on the map will have exactly one theme selected from viable options according to its tier and biome. Clothes Customization extended for resistance and movement properties There is also something new for the editor. You already had options to modify clothes, but now you are able to edit them on so many levels for movement and resistance. With this, even the UI displaying properties of the clothes (resistances and movement bonuses) was changed to better understand those values. Mythical Animal variants New mythical animals are now available for you in the editor - in the future we want to have a mythical variant for each animal in the game. It's up to you whether you want players to meet those in the games you create. Editor: Custom Controller A custom controller is a system that allows a creator to reassign the controls from the player avatar to another object and make that object move according to the user (supports MP games as well). Editor: Terrain improvements Creators can now apply Terrain Volume game logic using visual scripting, providing limitless terrain edit possibilities. Dynamic terrain material blending now makes the terrain look better when you paint over it Editor: Global leaderboard Creators can now motivate players to achieve better scores! With a global leaderboard, you may compete in your own games with others. Editor: Advanced UI Advanced UI support for rotation, scaling, flipping, setting UI position from a script. Editor: Text scripting (beta version) Allow creators to write their own custom scripts using the text version of our visual scripting, in the text editor of their choice. These scripts can be then attached to any entity or game logic. Please note that this is a beta version - it's quite likely that you will have to update some of your scripts when 1.7 is released. Editor: MIDI track support You may now compose your own MIDI tracks which will help you to set up the right mood for any occasion. Audio: Music playlist Have you managed to create brave new music for your games? Let's get them in order with the new music playlist option.

Hey guys, Until we finish building Adam-Tron-2020, you can shoot these to my address: marton.magyar@bistudio.com

YES! Please!!!!

Hey there fellow Ylanders, As mentioned in a recent dev diary, we are happy to invite the curious and the brave to try our Experimental Build! Available to every Steam user, the Experimental branch will offer you a chance to: test upcoming features & changes test your games & scripts report any bugs & provide early feedback ...before the release of a big update. Please note, that each Experimental Build will only be available for a limited duration (1-2 weeks), until we release the associated update. How to try the Experimental Build go your Steam library, right click Ylands, select Properties, click the "Betas" tab and enter "ExperimentalIWillBackUpMySaves" as the password (excluding the double quotes) this will unlock the "i_will_back_up_my_saves" branch after selecting the branch and confirming it, Steam will begin downloading the new experimental branch Important information Now is a good time to very strongly urge everyone trying the experimental branch to back up all your game data (saves, scenarios, etc.). You can do that by: browsing to "<steam installation folder>/userdata/<your steam id>" copying the whole "298610" folder. Keep in mind that the experimental environment uses a completely new user database, meaning that the game will require either playing as a guest or creating a new BI account (available through a link in the game) and then creating a new Ylands character. If you leave your saves folder intact, you will be able to load your older saves and scenarios with these caveats: loading older saves will create a new character for you editing scenarios will result in the scenario having more contributors - the user from the live version and the user from the experimental version For these reasons, we very heavily WARN AGAINST using any data created/modified in the experimental branch in the live version. Also keep in mind that since experimental and live environments are completely separate, you won't be able to see your friends playing the live version in the Social tab. Now for the good part Besides being able to test (and possibly break) all the cool stuff we are adding before anyone else; all players will receive 10.000 Coyns to spend however they like (within the Experimental environment - this is not transferable to the live game). You can't buy more Coyns (it would be unfair to request money from players for features in the experimental version) all players will also receive access to the exploration mode in the experimental version (even those without the DLC) Finally, any and all creations uploaded to the experimental Workshop may get purged when the experimental phase is over, so don't get too attached to them. ? Have fun with all the features Ylanders, please report any bugs or suggestions you might have - and most importantly; stay classy! -- Experimental Build for Update 1.4 changelog Feature Highlights Editor improvements Custom controls can now be shared in compositions between players and scenarios as they've been implemented as a Game Logic.

Hey there, fellow ylanders! Adam is enjoying his well-deserved vacation, but the Ylands machine never stops... Firstly there is a new Project Lead on the block, which happens to be Ales Ulm. Many of you probably know him - he has a long history with Ylands after all. He was there from its very beginning and even held the position of Project Lead in the past. Even though everyone is now probably extremely interested in finding out more about him and feel, that this information is what they have been subconsciously looking for their whole lives, we have more important things to discuss and I know that as soon as we release 1.4, Ales will time to present his visions to you fully. Ok, so you want to know at least something? What does his return to the Project Lead position mean for Ylands? Firstly, we immediately started fixing Exploration and making it once again about... well... exploration. And playing with friends. And sailing. And that other thing. If everything goes right, you should see the first (quite huge) change already in 1.5. and you will see that Exploration is anything but dead. Also, we will now pay significantly more attention to testing. Not only we are taking more time with it, but this week, we plan to make the first Experimental version of the game available for all. These Experimental Builds will be released roughly two weeks before a new update release. This time it will be PC Steam only, but with next major updates, other platforms will have this special version as well. If you are a creator dying to see the new features first and provide us with feedback (especially if you see something wrong with your existing game) you're more than welcome to give it a try! To find more information about this Experimental version, please follow this link There is so much more we want to talk to you about. So many plans and so many cool things happening... but we now have to fully focus on delivering 1.4 in the best shape possible. I will definitely talk to you again soon. And until then... stay classy, ylanders!

This is AMAZING

The plan is constructed using a highly scientific mixture of: previous experience (both personal and company-wide) industry best-practices stea...taking ideas from anywhere, where they worked a hint of outside the box thinking a good dose of good ol' gut feelings creating a bunch of KPIs and making sure every action we do, push the game towards achieving those coming up with other three-letter abbreviations using our communal tomato soup with alphabet noodles And as a rule of thumb, we always start with an initial plan and a budget and when we see how a given action is panning out we make adjustments to either that given plan real time (if it's possible - like old fashioned digital advertising) or making sure we modify the next stage / iteration of the plan if it cannot be so easily modified while it's actually running (like influencer marketing). And as an EVEN MORE general answer: we are planning to support Ylands for many years to come - so the 1.0 release - though important - is "just" another step along the way, so we are not treating it as "this is our one and only chance" situation. We'll do our best - learn from the mistakes / successes and import those into the next update What WILL change however, is that with the release of the game, community feedback and needs will be EVEN more important to us than before and will serve as the main guiding force behind an increasing number of our actions and directions with the game.

Hey guys, we have a small update for you already - bigger changes / improvements coming soon in the form of more substantial hotfixes. Update: 09/09/2019 re-enabled scripting of save files in the editor Fixed - YLD-18650 - Unable to join room with password Fixed - YLD-18635 - Deleting arguments in user storage instruction could cause an error

Hey guys, Can the winners PM me their in-game names? Cheers, Marci
