Ahoy Ylanders! We often ask you to look at an image or read some new information, but this week, this week is different. And that's because we want you to listen! Let's set the scene. Just imagine you're on the beach of a beautiful yland, sun just starting to peek on the horizon, shashlik being roasted on the fire, coconut drink in hand, your ship anchored nearby and Track Number 2: Serene Sunrise starts playing... eh... what's Track Number 2 you ask? The...

Ahoy Ylanders, Some of you may have noticed that we celebrated International Women's Day last week. This year we decided to give thanks to all the incredible women who are part of the Ylands team. You can watch it here: Now let's talk about #womeningaming. We are grateful to have so many ladies on our team, as it is still not quite common. And it can be pretty scary to join an industry where you don't see that much representation. "As a little girl, I...

Hey there, Ylanders! The new update is finally here! 🤩 For a while we were wondering what to call it. We knew we needed alliteration, that is what we do, but what should it be? Balanced Balance? Better Balance? First Fperson? None of the names really quite captured all the tweaks, changes and additions. What everything had in common, however, was improvement. And it is improvement done in the way that is uniquely Ylands. Hence Ymproved Ylands...

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! So something has happened to Blueprints in 1.10. Former Blueprints are now called Game Blueprints and former Compositions are now Creator Blueprints. Why? Because we felt Compositions and Blueprints had a lot of common functionality and when we added more variety to the former Blueprints it became obvious that merging those two together would make a lot of sense. Long story short - Game Blueprints are simpler (as in...

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! It's now just days before the release of the 1.10 update and since we've already discussed all the major features you'll find there, it seems like a good time to mention what comes after 1.10. It probably won't come as a surprise to many that it's 1.11, but what we would like to talk about today is one particular feature that 1.11 will bring. And it's something we internally call "Dark Dungeons". So you've been exploring Ylands for...

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! We have some good news for those daring among you - you can now test the update 1.10 Experimental branch on Steam. The new update bears the name Ymproved Ylands, which is mostly because we focused on balancing the game and improving the features we already have. Oh, and the name of the update also helps a bit with the correct pronunciation of the name of the game As always this means that you can get your...

Fair, that's fair But yeah, we still get lots of people pronouncing it as WHYlands 😭

Hi there! We recognize this to be an issue. This is not the kind of UX we want our players to have, which is why we manged to squeeze in a notification telling you that someone joined your game. This is only the first step in solving this issue and we will continue improving this of course. We are very sorry this happened to you. I will send you a PM.

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! Today we will mention one change that you will notice immediately after you start the new update 1.10. So what is this change? When you first start the new update, you will see the familiar Main menu, with some somewhat unfamiliar labels. Instead of "Sandbox" there is "Creative mode", "Playlands" is now called "Minigames hub", "Custom games" have become "Community games" and, finally, "Exploration" has become...

Hello! Thanks for the suggestion, it's something we might be able to add. We will keep you posted

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! So, let's see... You have explored dozens of ylands, uncovered hundreds of recipes and laid down thousands of blocks. And you think you know it all. That you've seen it all. You have it all. Right? Wrong! Update 1.10 brings something special for those of you who travel the uncharted horizons. Those who welcome challenges. If this sounds like you, get ready to start the grand search for the fabled mythical animals. In the upcoming...

Hi there! What seems to be the problem? Did you get any error messages? Do you friends own the DLC?

Most likely no patch till the 1.10 update, which should be getting released in mid summer

Hey there, fellow Ylanders! This time we come to you a bit earlier than usual as our team will spend rest of the week surviving in the woods.
