? Horses were supposed to be easier to control with the new updates. I'll have QA try out a couple of scenarios with horses tomorrow and maybe we can figure out, how to make it easier to transport those four-legged darlings.

Hmmm, I'll ask, if anything is possible on this front.

That's always a nasty surprise ?

So did this help @Fompster?

So it is fixed and will be implemented in next update.

Every week we'll bring you an Ynterview with a member of our Ylands team. In this week's Ynterview we talk to the mysterious Vojtěch 'Iceman' Kovařič. First off, what do you do here at the Ylands team and what’d you do before you joined? Hello everyone, my role on Ylands is a producer. Essentially, I make sure the team members always know what to do, are as uninterrupted from their work as possible, and have all the tools they need to be successful. Before that, I worked on Arma 3, Bohemia’s military shooter, as Project Lead. How long have you worked on Ylands? What was the 1st thing you worked on when you joined? I joined the team about a year ago or so. The first thing probably was introducing a new feature pipeline, which brought some system into how game additions are developed on Ylands. Why are you called Iceman? It goes way back, actually, and I’ll keep it as a frozen, dark secret. What do you find most exciting on Ylands in general? The endless possibilities that Ylands offers. With little to no scripting knowledge, everyone is able to build their own games. And not only that, the ways to share and play them with others already come with the package! And what is for you the most exciting feature coming in the near future? Additional cameras. It really is a game-changer, offering literally a whole new perspective on how the game can be played. What are you working on right now? At the moment, the whole team is racing to finish the game and release it later this year. As you can imagine, it takes quite a lot of organisation and overview to make sure everyone is on the right track and have everything they need. What was the most difficult thing to implement to date? I think the UI overhaul we did a couple of months ago takes the cake. We ended up working on it much longer than originally planned, with unexpected issues surfacing the more we would dig. Luckily enough, and thanks to an enormous effort of everyone involved, we made it. What do you do in your free time? I love listening to and playing music, and other than that, reading, playing games and socialising. What is better, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly or Bob the Builder? Star Wars

The thing is apparently, that they only affect the player. They set his personal temperature low but that temperature immediately starts to go up again, because they are usually in a hot tropical climate. So the script works, but it just seems it doesn't have any effect. We will though look into the possibility of having a tile, that would change the temperature of the world, though no promises.

So it's fixed and should be present in next update.

Right, it should be fixed now and shouldn't happen again ?

They're still at it apparently. But hopefully by the end of the week it should be fixed, if nothing goes horribly wrong...

So we're preparing a hotfix for this, that includes a workaround and which should fix it for you the next time it happens. Should be hopefully by tomorrow if nothing goes wrong.

What a stunning week it has been. Thank you for all your Screenshots of the beautiful buildings this community is making. And wow! Some of these are absolutely incredible! Some of you got a bit over-enthusiastic with the screenshot posting but we are glad for it because there were some spectacular buildings to ogle ? But who won? Well we had to give it to @Fompster and her picturesque church ? But others were just as good, so the runner ups are as follows: @Christalle and her...dare I say Elven home? (Where did you take inspiration for this, it really is beautiful ??) @RedEagle_P1. and his Zen Chinese garden, that just begs to relax in ❤️ And the tomb of the pharaohs by @Spyler.X. Will this be in the new Ylands World of Dreams map? If so, I better pack my Ankh for the journey. And again thank you so much for sending in your creations and screenshots. It really means a lot to us ? Well until next time stay classy Ylanders.

Definitely could do something like that in the future ? I'll let you know, when we do ?

Autojoin basically tries to find any empty server game and put you there without you having to select anything.

@RedEagle_P1.

So we fixed this and flags shouldn't be flapping in next update ?

Is it your own server or are you using a BI rented server? It needs to be a certified server to allow for microtransactions. But this might all be void soon because of new server news (look out on Wendesday ?).

You can't. There are optimization reasons behinds this. However we want to make the time before you get kicked longer.

Tak prý je to schválně, aby byla hra trošku lehčí, jelikož často se stalo, že někdo omylem vypadl z lodě a pak by ještě k tomu umrzl, tak aby to nebyl takový punishment ?

So does it work now @RedEagle_P1.?

I'm so sorry about this ? I'll try and figure out this week, what the problem is and try and get you some Coyns or something to make it up to you.

So the designers acknowledged the problem, but to fix it, new animations would be needed, so it'll probably won't be done before release, but we'll keep it in mind and hopefully change this soon.

I'm not sure, how huge huge is, but we are planning quite a lot of marketing of course. But we are primarily going to focus on bringing something new as frequently as possible and talking about that ?

So we have fixed this and it'll be part of the next update.

We definitely have some cool stuff in mind for this, so look out, but since we'll be making a lot of big updates regularly after the release, we'll maybe just keep a stream of cool stuff coming ? I talked to Aleš about this some time back and we'd love to do it and probably will some time after release.
