    Nope, you can't edit them in the Editor, because then you could add items unavailable in Exploration into the mix (for instance a Creator Cube) and visit other people's islands dumping...I don't know, 200 polar bears on their base ? But you can still pull your Legacy Exploration map into the Editor to play around with.

    Just another heads up! Ive noticed that when acquiring Elven relics such as the Lifegiving Staff, it’s effect/ability no longer works when taking it to another island location.

    I found this out off the back of the starving bug! I was using it to prevent myself from starving to death until I visited another island! ?

    Thanks for the heads up, will investigate ?

    My gf and I can't eat food in multiplayer explore. Game just says "I'm not ready yet". Restarting game and map doesn't fix it.

    Yep, we are going to check it out in the morning. Seems to be happening pretty often. Thanks for the report. Output_logs always welcome ?

    Explorers of Ylands rejoice! Update 1.5 - Enhancing Exploration - is finally out for you to try and enjoy, and it brings a host of new goodies and improvements for Exploration, many of which had been requested by the community for a long time.

    We have reworked and revamped the Exploration experience from the ground up, offering a truly engaging and exciting adventure, in the veins and spirit of what we originally envisioned for Exploration many moons ago.

    Players can now travel to and explore countless different islands, in different biomes on their trusty ships, linked to their person for the first time ever - creating a new bond between players and their vessels.

    And this is just the beginning! Update 1.5 is but the first stepping stone for an amazing Exploration experience - over the coming months, we will keep updating Exploration until it is as good as we can make it and the community is happy with it.

    Of course, we have packed this update with some other goodies, improvements and fixes as well - read on to find out more!

    Update 1.5 - Enhanced Exploration - major features

    Exploration update first phase: the beginnings of the new and improved Explore experience is here; players can now use the brand new world map to sail to different biomes, where they can explore (and exploit) procedurally generated islands. Ships will now be tied to players so they can use their favourite vessel to explore the high seas.

    Native American assets: we have added a whole slew of new assets for both players and creators!

    1_5_NativeAssets_FHD.png


    Custom bitmaps in the Editor: creators will now have the option to import their very own bitmaps into the game, opening up a brand new dimension of customization options.

    Shooting weapon improvements: we have made major improvements to how bows/crossbows & grenades are handled within the game; make sure you try them out!

    ....and hundreds of fixes, improvements to every aspect of the game!

    For more detailed information about the changes and additions, head over to our new Exploration Feedback section with a handy FAQ made by Aleš ? - we would love to hear what you think of the new Exploration and how we could improve it. Also, check out the changelog for all the juicy deets ?

    To keep track of all the latest news, follow Ylands on Steam, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

    Until next time, stay classy!

    Highlights


    New experimental Exploration

    In 1.5 we begin a transition to a new, different Exploration. Instead of many Exploration games, we give you a large Exploration world to travel. Please note that we think of this new Exploration as "Early access" as it will be finalized in 1.6. If you feel like waiting for a polished, finished product, you can keep playing the original (legacy) Exploration.

    Custom bitmap import

    Creators can now import their own images to be used as game UI (panels, buttons, icons...) or even in custom particles. Please note that all custom bitmaps are checked before the game is made visible on Workshop.


    Improved profile page

    We've improved the profile page (accessible by clicking character portrait in the Main menu). See your favorite games, your friends' Avatars or their friends.


    Optimizations

    We've added further optimizations - especially owners of lower spec mobile devices should experience noticeable improvement.


    Scripting modules

    You wanted an easier way to re-use your code in various game scenes or share with others ... and we answered.


    Dynamic lights visible on mobile devices 

    We keep tirelessly working so that your mobile gaming experience is as close to PC as possible.

     

    Light Game Logic object 

    Maybe your scene would look better with one or two dynamic lights to set the mood?


    Weather effects visible on lower spec mobile devices

    Now you can experience Ylands' weather even with less powerful mobile devices!

     

    Mobile controls Editor preview

    Are you making a game to be played with mobile devices? Now you can check what the control will look like when testing the game on PC.

     

    Bow-shooting and grenade-throwing enhancements

    We rewrote a lot of code so that these are now better controlled and much more fun. Be sure to give them a try!


    Visual scripting fixes and improvements

    Another batch of fixes and improvements that will make it easier for you to create great games.

     

    Terrain roughen tool

    Making a natural-looking terrain is so much easier with this new tool.


    Native American assets

    With these assets, we give you yet another great setting/era where you can set your game.

     

    Controlling the non-player object

    Two new instructions have been added:  Get Horizontal Input / Get Vertical Input, which will return player X / Y controller input. They can be used in new Event Listener event - On Fixed Update to "animate" any object as if controlling the player. Please note that this feature currently works for SP games only.

    Native decorative blocks
    Stone doors (3x)
    Native melee weapons (4)
    Native ranged weapons (3)

    I was also told by our Discord moderators, that they were contacted by P1 members by private message told to join and they complained to our moderators. @RedEagle_P1. I know it's good-natured ? But if you could keep your recruitment to the official channels meant for recruitment, I think that'd be best ?

    So you don’t know if this will come out in 1.5?

    Yes it will ? But even more features and stuff will be added to 1.6 is my point ? With 1.5 we'll be putting out this feature and it will be a kind of experiment to see, if it works well and what you guys would change on it and then according to feedback, we'll perfect it in 1.6 (and 1.7 if anything major props up).

    That sounds great, hope you can get it done in time for a great Christmas for everyone :)

    Ï think we can, but a lot of work is still needed and I think 1.6 will be excellent ?

    Is the new 120 times map size on track for 1.5?

    Yes, there should be 100 - 120 maps available to travel to. And when you explore all of them, just delete a few of them and new ones will appear ?

    Hey there Ylanders!

    As with every update, 1.5 is bringing a lot of cool stuff, including revamped Exploration and custom bitmaps. But another great addition to the game will be the heap of assets, that are coming to Ylands. 

    The theme of our assets in 1.5 are Native American cultures and we have a slew of cool new items, that you'll be able to add to your games.

    First off we have added some very neat weapons to the Native American tribes in Ylands, be it the feathered crossbow, bow or rifle and the Shaman will get a unique set of clothes. We have also added a new Chieftain headdress, which will be also craftable in Exploration. Another craftable addition are the new stone tablets depicting different creatures of myth and legend and a new totem block representing the Wendigo. The Wendigo is also getting his own statue, which you'll be able to craft in Exploration and will be a good way to warn adventurers off of a certain dangerous area ?

    image (111).png

    But that's not all! We have also added a new Sunplate armour set to represent pre-Columbian cultures in Central America with their own choice of cool weapons to choose from. This will also include some new stone furniture to go with the aesthetic. 

    image (110).png

    And finally, a new monster is joining the mix: The Totem Golem! A fearsome adversary that communes with nature and fiercely defends the natives from harm.

    image (113).png

    And the best thing about these additions is, that now our designers have them available and will be adding them to Random Encounters for update 1.6 so look out for these in the future ?

    And that's all for today, so until next time, stay classy Ylanders ?
