    sad to see you go :( hope the new community manager will be as good as you. will you still stream ylands in your free time? hope you'll come back to ylands sometime

    Not sure I'll have a lot of time to do so and also I don't have the required equipment, but I'd love to stream something in the future. Might be a mix of Ylands and other stuff, but will let you all know if that ever happens ?

  3. Hey there Ylanders!

    So this is it. My last (1966th) post ? As was mentioned (maybe too many times) already, I am leaving Ylands for new adventures, but I do so with a heavy heart. It's been nearly two years that I have spent with y'all and I don't know about you, but I had an absolute blast. Also, I have learnt a lot, which gave me the confidence to move on when the call came. So thank you for that and for all the fun we had in the process.

    This game and this community are truly something special. With such an interesting mix of adventurers and creators, there is always something new to talk about, try out and figure out. Of course, the road hasn't been always easy, but I think Ylands is now on the way to becoming really great. With the recent updates to Exploration (which are really awesome and I think we all really enjoyed them, even on the recent streams ?) and the competitions showing us all, what amazing feats are possible in the Editor, there is a bright future ahead of the game. And I for one am really looking forward to it.

    And I am also proud of what we have managed as a community. When I started at Ylands, there was a bit of a disconnect, that I think we managed to bridge together, especially because of a ton of goodwill from you ? And while it may not be readily apparent or immediately seen, all your feedback and bug reports were essential in the last two years and the way Exploration and other aspects of the game developed is in a huge part because of your ideas and requests, so thank you for that. I also think quite a lot of life was breathed into our Forums and especially the Discord (https://discord.gg/KxQJJAY), which when I began was kinda quiet and now I am delighted, how much you guys chat there and share screenshots.

    So thank you all again very much. Thank you for being so welcoming and kind. Thank you for all the private messages wishing me a bright future and I wish you all also the very best.

    But most of all I wish you all to stay classy as you've always been Ylanders ?

    P.S. Thank you @Spyler.X and @Christal for the beautiful artwork and all of you, that helped out to build the Major General a retirement home. And the Pub is fantastic too, thank you @cfrox

  5. Hotfix 15.02

    [YLD-28625] Fixed: Ships with many blocks onboard should no longer have shifted collision on load.
    [YLD-28610] Fixed: A quick fix for conversation tabs switching in Messages screen when a player changes their state. The downside is that the Clan chat screen won't get immediately updated when a player joins/leaves your clan.

  7. Wow, thank you so much guys ☺ Thise are really beautiful. Love Mini-Major ? And the drawing is perfect ? Thank you very much, you really are the best.

    Hopefully I'll still see you around the forums and Discord in the future and hope you'll keep creating such beautiful creations and keep having fun ?

  8. Nothing really. As the agreement stands, total control of Bohemia Interactive is to stay with the current administration. We may see more support to our developers within the company in the future though since Tencent is going to release their version of Ylands soon in China and so far it has been testing well in the eastern market, so that might be nice ? But yeah, nothing really changes for us here ?‍♂️


  9. We tried something similar a while back and I will leave this idea for my successor to maybe figure out a way to make the adding of new items more transparent. Though all the things added in Goodiepacks is from feedback I've collected on the Forums, Discord and Steam.


  10. Hey there Ylanders!

    Some of you might have noticed some cool new stuff arriving in Ylands this Tuesday and you'd be absolutely right! The Goodie Pack #3 is out and it is full of cool new assets to play around with.

    Ylands_GoodiePack_3_items_1920x1080.png

    First of we have the inclusion of a new culture in Ylands, the Inuits. These descendants of the Thule people inhabit the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada and Alaska and are experts of living in the most dangerous and life-threatening environments. They have a rich and old culture and while we did our best to emulate it, we in no way claim to be absolute experts ? But we have added some Inuit clothes attire, that will be of great help to Arctic explorers planning on making their base in the land of ice ? There are also a few Inuit idols, that you can use to decorate your arctic home and give homage to the people of the Great White North.

    But there is more to aid your expedition, including the newly added expedition gear, knitted cap and research equipment. You can also use new Plastic pillar blocks and add a Metal door to the mix to complete the Expedition Research Station. 

    Beware though, because new dangers will inhabit the snowy biomes too, including a number of new animals. We have the fearsome Wolverine and dangerous Snow Tiger to contend with, while you'll also be able to come upon the Reindeer (if it flies, please call Santa but also send us logs ?). These should make the colder biomes a bit more diverse ? In the Editor, you can also youse the mighty Jötunn straight from Norse mythology and in update 1.6 they will be making appearances in Exploration as well in new Random Encounters, so watch out ?

    And finally something more for the Eastern biome the beautiful Junk Ship, which we talked about at length last week. It is a cheap option to get your Exploring underway and to blend into the Eastern biomes well. But for even the earlier early game or for just short trips on a map we have also added the trusty kayak, which should fill the space between a raft and a small boat.

    There were also a slew of bug fixes, which should make life in Experimental Exploration a little bit easier ? So check out the changelog to find out more about these and as always if you find a bug, please let us know and if you have any feedback, please let us know since we are still actively gathering issues from the new Exploration and taking them on board to make the experience as good as possible ?

    And so until next time, stay classy Ylanders.
