Update: 23/07/2019 YLD-17635 Fixed - Editor: Strange mistake with the terrain

CHANGELOG Fine Friendships - 20/06/2019 HIGHLIGHTS Friends list - add players to your friend list. See what they’re currently playing and join them or invite them to your game. Chat system - now you can talk to people close to you in the game world, send messages to everyone in that game (Game channel); to specific players whether they are in the same game, Main Menu or even the Editor (Whisper channel); or to all members of your clan (Clan channel) Clans - create your clan today! Let your friends join and chat together. Clan functionality will be gradually expanded. New terrain generator - we’ve added the first iteration of our new terrain generator. We are still tweaking the system, so there can be places where the generated terrain looks less than ideal, but that will be fixed. This new generator will allow us to create interesting and unique terrain features, which will make maps much more interesting. Please note: options for generating ylands in Creative mode were adjusted to the new system and as such, some options were removed (e.g.: terrain type, land count, etc.). Advanced object grouping - organize your objects into neat groups. Take advantage of performing operations with parenting objects, saving a lot of time and effort. Dynamic objects - set objects (or whole groups) as dynamic and then animate their movement and rotation via new animator game logic objects. Use platforms to smoothly transport characters. Preview your animations via Test animator option (default: F7). New costume - what could it be...

Hey there ylanders, The suffocating and scorching heat cannot keep us from the developing the game - we are chugging along the unknown path that will lead us (and you) to update 0.14, that is shaping up to be something truly spectacular. We can't wait to tell you more, but the time is not right just yet... So for this week' Dev Diary, we are taking a step back from all the crazy features, mechanics, changelogs and trailers we have been showcasing recently and going to chill a little (but will return with out regular scheduled programming soon enough, don't worry). We went around the office, found a "lucky" "volunteer" and asked him questions that could be only be asked (and answered) in 40 degrees (Celsius) heat. So without further ado, please enjoy the first episode of our "Meet the Team Summer Edition 2019 eXtreme". Please introduce yourself Hi, I am Martin and I am one of the animators in our Ylands team. What's your official job title I am an animator. What's your imaginary job title "Do your best, re-do it later" (ed.: imaginary job, title would be water slide tester) What's the last thing you've added to Ylands I am working on animations for animals with the new AI. What's your favourite item in Ylands and why A war hammer. I like to smack things around with heavy attack. (ed.: don't we all...) Would you rather live with a crab sized bear or a bear sized crab Crab sized bear. It would look like a cute angry hamster. Martin thinking about his answers while definitely not getting bribed to appear on the first episode of Meet the Team Summer Edition 2019 eXtreme Send in YOUR questions for the next "lucky" candidate and we'll make sure they all get answered! Until then... ...stay classy (and cool) ylanders and have an amazing weekend!

Update: 17/07/2019 YLD-17251 Fixed - Ship: Building blocks disappear from vehicles once you disasseble them YLD-17296 Fixed - Trading issues: two players trade when their package are full. The item they choose is inconsistent with that added into the trade bar. YLD-17360 Fixed - Trade: Trade breaks if you offer 7 items and scroll. YLD-17603 Fixed - Construction mode: turning construction on will delete all blocks - ship or car cannot turn YLD-17615 Fixed - Camera: Horse: Camera remains focused and following the horse after respawn, if you die while riding a horse YLD-16905 Fixed - Boats: Wooden raft behavior is broken YLD-17250 Fixed - VS: changing animator/movement instruction in the end of previous instruction bug

This is gorgeous ?

Hey there ylanders...this was not the best post to write and it was done with a heavy heart. So please, stay awhile and listen for this Dev Diary - from Ane - for the last time. --- Hi there fellow ylanders, I'm not sure how to begin this post, because after 2369 posts on this forum... this is going to be my last one. I've been working on Ylands pretty much since the project took shape (there wasn't even a community back in the day, as the game wasn't even public)... and let me tell you, it's been a hell of a ride! It's been nice to slowly build our little community, and what makes me the proudest is that (except for a very few exceptions here and there), everyone has always been so helpful and kind. I can only but thank you for the laughs, for your patience, and for believing in this little game that we call Ylands, that has really taken shape thanks to you! It's been a pleasure to read you every day, and remember - things can only get better from here! --- From my end - let me thank Ane for all the hard work, passion and love she had put into the game AND the community around it. Ylands literally wouldn't be the same without her - and she will be sorely missed. BUT on a brighter note, I can tell you from a trustworthy source that she is all good and pursuing her dreams, so weep not ylanders. And for a grand finale, please enjoy Ane's answers to the silly questions from last week - something you all seem to like and enjoy immensely! -- Please introduce yourself If you're reading this forum post and you don't know what I do... you're probably new What was your official job title I've been the Ylands Community Manager for the last 4 years (and 2 months!) What's your imaginary job title In my mind, I wanna be the person responsible for preventing ice-creams to melt down. What's the last thing you've added to Ylands If we're talking about Ylands as a game... probably some of the texts in the game, as I was also proofreading the English text and translating the game into Spanish What's your favourite item in Ylands and why I'm gonna say the potato grenade... because I love me some randomness (but Mr. Winston will always have a special place in my heart) Would you rather paint the beach pink or beach the pink paint? This is me in my newly painted pink beach! (provided by the paint gun, ofc) What are your final words of wisdom to the Ylands community Drink water, eat your veggies, and stay classy! --- That's it for now, stay classy ylanders and have an amazing weekend!

Unless you count learning some silly (and not so silly) facts about someone who works countless hours on the game you enjoy and play and otherwise would have never know he exists...yes, I guess it had nothing to do with the game.

What I can tell you is this: we ARE seeing every single report and making sure they are catalogued and dealt with. We might not act on them immediately, and it might seem that we just disregard them - releasing an update that has nothing to with your concerns, but please keep one thing in mind: long before your reports come in, we already have a (very packed) plan on what to deliver, how and when. That of course, IS affected by your input, but only to a certain degree. This is not because your input is less valuable (on the contrary) but if we allow ourselves to stray from the roadmap we've set out...you probably wouldn't see 1.0 for a very long time. Is this ideal? No...not really, but this is the truth. On a more positive note: there will come a time, when our focus will be almost exclusively making sure the game is up to your standards (aka. polishing phase). So until then, just please give us the benefit of a doubt, and trust us - we ARE listening.

Hey there fellow ylanders - it's that time of the week again! The time when you settle in with a steaming cup of coffee, lay back and enjoy the latest Dev Diary, especially knowing that this one might be* the last before a new update comes out. So let's prepare for this beautiful eventuality, by collecting all the sneak peeks and teasers we have released about the upcoming 0.13 update. the amazing new friends list - dev diary #75 the new in-game chat system - dev diary #77 advanced object grouping and dynamic objects - dev diary #79 new and improved terrain generation - dev diary #80 the new terrain generation in effect As you can see, 0.13 is going to be concentrating on the social aspects of the game, laying down the essential foundations for some very cool upcoming systems (like clans). It is a very significant update for us and for the game - paving the way for the rest of Yland's future. The new terrain generation is also a necessary (and beautiful...you'll see) step towards improved AI pathfinding, something we've discussed in: improved pathfinding - dev diary #76 While this feature will not be present in 0.13 (it will follow in a later update), it's a huge step towards a more interesting and challenging AI that will improve every aspect of the game and will be a true game changer. Of course no update could be complete without a host of fixes and improvements (and maybe a new costume...) that are too numerous and small to mention here, but you can read about all of it in the changelog as soon as it goes online. We'll also be releasing a video dev diary (as per the gentlemanly tradition of Ylands) to walk you through the biggest features of the update - keep your eyes peeled for that as well! say "update 0.13 is coming soon and you'll love it" And until then...have a great weekend and stay classy everyone! * fingers crossed

Just hang in there Even if sometimes it might look like we are not listening...we are, really. We are aware of the issues, big and small, and are doing our best to fix them and deliver the best possible experience for you. 0.13 changed a lot of underlying systems, and it was expected that it will cause...ripples. We still believe it was an important and necessary step, to bring the game, ultimately to a stage where you can say "enthusiasm to eat and go out still haven't appeared after 3 days of launching ylands 1.0".

Hey there fellow ylanders, As most of you probably know, we have successfully released update 0.13 to ylands - titled "Fine Friendships". Just as a recap, the main features added by the update: Friends list - this new feature will let you maintain a list of friends, see what games they are playing, and join them or invite them to your own Clans system - the first iteration of this new system will let players form clans for easier communication and organisation New chat system - with the new and updated chat system (including color-coded channels) players will now be able to chat not just within the game but in the main menu or even in the Editor New terrain generation - we have significantly improved terrain generation, for more exciting landscapes with more unique terrain variations – for both surface biomes and the underground cave systems Advanced object grouping - creators will now be able to organize objects into a parent-child hierarchy, enabling a new layer of control over objects, ultimately allowing the creation and easy-management of complex creations and contraptions Dynamic object groups - a new solution making it simple to move and rotate objects over time and with a specific speed – invaluable for creators As per our usual update tradition, we have also released a video developer diary, that introduces these features: Please enjoy the update - and let us know what you think of it! In the meantime, as the dust settles in the office, we are ready to set our eyes to new horizons and further updates... Until then, stay classy ylanders!

When something's wrong in your serverhood...who you gonna call??? @Berzeger!!!

The Devolver "press" "conference". Pure win - nothing will come close to that.

Hey guys - just an update, we left out the questions from last week, so here we go: Will this mean 0.13 will update our terrain tools too? Not for 0.13, but soon after With this change, the old saves will see changes in their biomes or it keep the same ? Old saves won't be affected by the new terrain generation in any way

Hey guys, apologies for the delay - we needed to oil some cogs in the machine, but this is being processed as we speak! @Cthulunatic hali!

Hey Spyler - can you let me know which creations you'd like to see removed so I can flag them? Cheers, marci

Hey there fellow ylanders, This week, we are going to talk about something that's very close to us - literally - a certain section of our forum and changes being made to it. First, a little background: For a while now, the Ylands Academy section of the forum had a hidden subforum called Editor Hotline. This was invisible to most of the community, only certain creators had access to it. The purpose of this section was the following: to offer a place where creators have a direct line of contact to the developers, programmers and designers of the game, most importantly those working on the Editor and Visual Scripting based on the questions, requests and discussions there, we could prioritize the changes, improvements and features of both the Editor and Visual Scripting The reason why this section of the forum was closed off to the majority of the players: knowing that contents of this sections aren't discussed outside let us openly talk about ideas that may not get implemented because of the fast ideas exchange, misunderstandings about actual feature details or ETAs can happen, and if such information is publicly posted it can cause more bad than good TL;DR: there is a hidden section on the forum where creators can directly talk to developers working on the Editor and Visual scripting and we kept it hidden because this way we didn't have to worry about features being talked about not making it into the game. Come next week, we will be changing this in the following way: the Ylands Academy section will turn into the "Editor" section that will get three subforums 1 - Editor Help 2 - Editor Bugs & Technical Issues 3 - Editor Suggestions we will be copying the threads from the above hidden Editor Hotline subforum to these new, open ones which means that everyone will have access to that knowledge base and there will be no more hidden subforums The reasoning behind this change: matters discussed on the hidden subforum became more generic and would be beneficial for other creators (and the community at large) it became hard to track the different threads about editor and scripting - they became too scattered across several sub-forums TL;DR: besides keeping an eye on the different subforums getting increasingly more difficult, we also found that the hidden Editor Hotline subforum has a lot of interesting and useful topics for the entire community Before we make the transition however, we wanted to offer you a heads-up and also a chance to let us know if the Editor Hotline subforum contains any sensitive information that you have posted there and want us removed. We feel this is an important step - so please, if you think this could be the case, let us know over the weekend either here or via a private message. We hope releasing this "community created" knowledge base will be helpful to some while inspiring to others. We sure did learn a lot! If you have any questions or concerns, as usual - let us know below! That's all for now, have a great weekend and stay classy ylanders! --- And now for your questions from last week: Out of curiosity how is the implementation of mini bosses in ylands and such? Good question. They are still planned but will be added only after the new pathfinding and AI is implemented (0.14 or 0.15). Could you also consider adding something similiar to minecraft where the last bed you slept on is your respawn point? We'll be doing a lot of improvements to Explore - we'll talk about those in one of the future Dev Diaries . Lastly, any news on controlled movement for objects over time? The first iteration is present in the upcoming update, we plan to make it more robust and powerful in the one that comes after that. Chat while in editor? Yes, this is present in the upcoming update 0.13 as well Will it be possible to have multiple players in editor? We understand that cooperation while creating new content is important but this would be quite a complex feature. We're already discussing all the options but I don't think this will happen any time soon.

Hey there fellow ylanders, This week, let's talk about friends with benefits. In the next update (before you ask: we don't have a fancy name yet, and yes, it's coming soon(tm)) we will be focusing on the social aspects of Ylands, trying to make sure your adventures are a bit less lonely and it's easier to find like minded individuals to explore with. One of the coolest and most useful tools in your arsenal for this will be the fancy new "friends list" feature, so let's get to know this piece of code a bit better. Disclaimer: Mr. Friends List is still young - and will probably grow / change / surprise us before he is ready to go public - so please take everything here as "work in progress". First of all, let's see WHY we are adding this feature to the game: We always wanted Ylands to be a highly social game, where you explore, build and play together with others. And while those things are certainly possible even now, we feel there is room for improvement - and that is the main reason for the friends list, to make it easier and faster to find people to play with Amongst other things, the feature will revolutionize the way you communicate with others within the game - gone are the days when you have to use an external solution for this, the friends list will let you chat with whoever and whenever An extension of this will be the more streamlined way of meeting others within the game. Since you'll be able to communicate with any of your friends, regardless of their current activity - you will be able to easily set up a game or jump into an exiting one, even from the main menu - with your friends At the end of the day, this is just a step (an important one) towards making sure you have to spend less time trying to get into a game and more time playing with your friends Now let's dig into the crunchy details! Within and with the friends list, you'll be able to: search for friends and add them to your friendslist, see if any of your friends are online and what games they are currently playing, (if possible) directly jump into their game, invite them to a game you are currently playing, block people you don't want to receive any messages from create a “clan”, which is a group of players that play with each other often and can have a special group chat window, Some extra juicy bits for last all invites and requests will be handled through our new notification system within the notification you'll be able to accept or reject any invitation / request the clan feature will be expanded in the future, to make it more robust So there you have it - a first look at the new friends list feature coming to Ylands. Hopefully you like the direction we are going with this, if yes - let us know how you'll be using it (maybe it will trigger some new ideas), if not - let us know how and what you'd change / add / remove! That's all folks - for now - stay classy and have a great weekend!

Oh don't worry, they ARE getting fixed, but I don't have the ETA sorry

Not that I know of - any reason you were expecting one specifically today?

Fantastic Friendzone.....hmm....that could work......?

Oh and keep the questions coming, we'll answer them (and last week's one) in the next DD!
