Hey there Ylanders! Welcome to the third issue of the Explorer's Gazette ? And here is the much superior version with links and everything ?: https://data.bistudio.com/ylands/explorers_gazette/Explorers_Gazetter_Vol7_July20.pdf

Hey there Ylanders! I think this time the video speaks for itself, so watch on Ylanders ? If you want to check out my first Dev Diary, here it is in all its glory ? And that’s all for today, so until next time, stay classy Ylanders!

Unfortunately not. The minimum requirements were made in cooperation with Apple, who are very strict about these requirements, because they want to ensure the games and apps run as smoothly as possible on all supported devices. So it might not be because of the iPad Mini, which can maybe handle it, but a different product with a A8 processor, that lacks the capabilities to run Ylands. And because it can be allowed either to all A8's or none, it had to be (according to the AppStore rules) restricted to all.

Oh good ? Do let me know if they start up again.

So seems this is expired and no longer happens.

Okey, I know it has been a bit of a wait ? But invisible links will be an option in 1.4. They will be switched on by default, but can be switched to invisible and will be visible only when holding a linker.

So iPad 6 shouldn't be a problem. Could you be a bit more specific please, what the problem is? When does it crash, does it crash on all games? What are the circumstances?

Those are some cool suggestions, thank you ? I'll pass it on.

Hopefully soon ? It is a sacred game ??

Hey there Ylanders! It has been a while since we messed around with the Main Menu, so here we go again ? The Main Menu should be the gateway to everything Ylands and we wanted our new version to reflect this. While the old Menu was cool, it no longer was enough to encapsulate all the awesome games constantly popping up in the Workshop. So the main aim was to give these games much more space to live in and to get noticed because they did tend to fall between the cracks a bit in the old menu, if they weren’t featured, which is a terrible shame. So in the new Menu, you’ll always have all kinds of different games visible to you in different categories, like Featured games (by the Ylands team) of which there can now be many more, your recently played games, your exported projects, top-rated games by the community and many more. We also have some cool new tools to promote good games and to get them to the top of your lists, so you always see the crème de la crème of Ylands creations ? Games will also be categorised into different genres, so you'll be able to quickly get playing the games YOU want to play. But that’s not all that will be changing with the menu. We are also implementing a much better communication system, so that players can message each other through Ylands and we can message players and thus be able to interact much more with our Creators and Players alike ? There will be many more cool improvements in the new Menu but that’s for you Ylanders to explore for yourselves once update 1.4 drops ? And that’s all for today, so keep safe and stay classy Ylanders!

You can disable team damage when creating an Exploration game. We are working on a system, so your pets don't kill your friends ?

We are implementing this feature in 1.5 ?

Tak je to opravené a bude to součástí update 1.4.

So this is fixed on QA, so hopefully with 1.4 all will go back to normal...

Well if it is a water cube you placed yourself, then you just select it and press delete. But it is impossible to delete the ocean (or parts of it).

Pošlu to na QA a ti na to zítra kouknou. Děkuji ?‍♂️

We'd really like to make playing on Android more enjoyable and will be looking into this, thanks ?

There isn't this option yet, but we are reworking the barrier system and there will be changes. Not sure this will be one of them but I'll talk to the devs and find out what could be done ?

Prosím upřesnění ? Takže co je problém přesně? Že to nemáte nastavené na invisible ale přesto invisible je? Nebo naopak?

Very VERY awesome! ? You planning to put these into a game of some sorts? ? Can't wait to see, where this goes.

So it has been fixed and will be okey in 1.4.

Could you please DM us the map? We'll check it out.

Hey there Ylanders! Naru has swung round our Dev Diary today to talk about some of his awesome creations in Ylands. You might have seen them before, but these are some of the best he has to show, though he has countless more hidden up his sleeve. But just for reference here are the gifs of these creations so you can marvel at them separately or all at once ? But one announcement that will please many a creator here on the Forums is, that Naru will begin his own column, where he will explain how to do, what he can do so well ? It will be called Naru’s Corner and every other week (bi-weekly) we’ll make a short video teasing the topic and then Naru will dive into the forums and explain, just how he created and put together that week’s effect. So, a lot to look forward to. But don’t you worry, this won’t replace our weekly Dev Diaries and you can still look forward to a weekly Dev Diary full of juicy information to go through. And that’s it for today Ylanders, so have fun and stay classy!

Nah I understand both points of view ? There are games and situations that just annoy a person a lot when they happen and they can make a person mad and that's understandable. I am sorry, that it happened and we will try and make the building aspect much better later this year. And I understand @jchob's problem with the attitude, but I'm sure it was written moments after the destruction and that had to be really frustrating ?
