Thank you for the report, we'll check it out and fix it 😊

Should work now, sorry about that

Hey there, Ylanders! The Ylands HQ is super focused on 1.9 and we can't wait to bring you more info on the upcoming update, and we hope you're as excited as we are for all things sea-worthy! We're also constantly thinking about what lies ahead which is what brings us to today's Dev Diary topic. Last week, we answered some questions that kept coming up and we didn't want to leave them unanswered. This week, we'd like to switch the roles and ask you some questions. We have some general questions about your style of gameplay, but also open-ended questions, where you can anonymously give us your feedback about anything and everything in the game. The questions are short and will only take a few seconds to answer, also none of them are mandatory, so feel free to answer only those you're comfortable with! This feedback helps us stay on track and every comment you leave for us will be read and discussed. You can find the feedback form ▶️ HERE ◀️ Thank you so much for your help and please let us know what you'd like to read about in the next Dev Diary! And don't forget to Stay Classy, Ylanders!

Can't say much more yet, but yes, with the upcoming updates, a new chapter will open up indeed

I will send you a PM and will look into this of course!

We'll look into this, thanks for reporting it!

Hey! Any chance you could get the game logs for me so that we can look into this?

Hey! Could you please send us the game logs or when it happens, send an in-game dev message? Without this data, there isn't much we can do

Hey! Are you still getting the error? I sent you a PM

Hey there, Ylanders! We know you like hearing about what's coming to the next update and that you also like to take peeks into the game dev process and the behind-the-scenes of the Ylands HQ. This week's Dev diary is going to combine both! Let's dive right in! (screenshot by Kaija) The spirit of Ylands is largely based on community and the feedback from our players, which is why we collect feedback and suggestions from our players across platforms and regularly review it and keep it in mind when developing new features and when improving new ones. One such feedback we have been receiving is talking about not being able to see your friends on the map. This highly requested feature is coming to 1.9, as you probably know from this Dev Diary. We were very excited to let our players know that this feature that they've been asking for is finally coming to the game. But in reading the feedback on the announcement, we found out that we didn't think about the fact that some of our players play Hide & Seek because they can't see each other on the map. Oversight on our part, but thanks to our players, who talk to us, we found out. (two of the feedback instances) Long story short, we're implementing a toggle option for the friend marker feature so that you can continue playing Hide & Seek without having the fun spoiled (smile) While this might seem like a minor thing to some, for those few players that enjoy playing the game in a specific way will it would be taking away a part of that fun. And that's something we don't want to do. Well, that's it for this week and we will be back with more info next week! Stay Classy, Ylanders!

Oh my apologies, you would need to use a rented server, which has to be started by the mobile user.

Hey! You can play together if your friends use the sharegame feature rented server of the game on their phones. The phone users have to be the ones starting the game, then you can join them from your PC

Hey there, Ylanders! Ever wanted to have your very own painting become an asset in the game? Well, this is your opportunity! The Ylands team will pick one piece of art and turn it into a painting, which other Ylanders will be able to find in the world of Ylands! So what do you need to do to take part? Have an artwork ready. It can be a drawing, a painting, a sketch, anything! Be mindful of copyright issues and whether the motive is appropriate. Save it as a PNG or JPEG file, rename it to YourYlandsNickname.png or .jpg (so FAAIA.png for instance) Drop it off here: https://cloud.bistudio.com/index.php/s/kpHAEmyqXiR0UrI using the password ylands Do so before the end of the month. Last entry can be made at Jan 31, 23:59 CET. Wait for us to announce our favorite one! We will also award coyns to our favorites! Go get artsy, Ylanders! (screenshot by YoHasLEGO) _______________________________________________________________ This contest is completely at our discretion and we reserve the right to not award any prize, if no artwork meets our expectations.

Hey there, Ylanders! As you probably know, the next update coming to Ylands will be all about adventures on and below the sea. And as such, it would not be complete without additions and edits to how ships work. Any proud captain would know how important a ship's name is. The name of a ship can be an indication of what its adventures on the sea are going to be a like and elevates it from an anonymous vesel to a personalized creation. So starting next update, you'll be able to give names to your ships! Now that you've built your own ship, named it and set sail for the first time, you should really take care of it! Be careful about sailing in bad weather, because if you get caught in a storm, your ship will get damaged. At the same time, if you steer your ship to shallow waters, the edge of an yland or another ship, your ship will take damage and you will have to fix it up if you wish to continue on your journey without worries. (screenshot by ilp0tt1) Fixing a ship is a matter of skill and resources. You will need a special tool to repair your ship and also specific materials to patch up the holes that your ship had sustained. In order to avoid damaging your ship and to help you be a better informed captain, you will be able to monitor the ship's HP, the water depth below, the current speed and much more using special ship devices. This is just a quick look into what ships will be like in the upcoming update! Speaking of naming things, what do you think the 1.9 update will be named? Let us know what you think and what your tips are and until next time... Stay classy, Ylanders!

Hey! Very sorry you're experiencing problems. We're already looking into the problem! Thank you for letting us know!

Hey! We're aware of the imbalance and will get to fixing it eventually. As of now, there are larger issues that we need to work on but it's on our radar and we'll fix it within the next few updates

Hey guys! Very interesting thread you got here! I read through it all and also forwarded it to Aleš to read cuz we definitely appreciate your input

Hey! We need both output_log.txt and output_log_clean.txt and you can find them here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data Send them over and we'll have a look

That will depend on the type of art that will be selected 😊

YES!

It can be digital, it can be hand drawn and then you take a picture of it We will need to make some alterations to fit the aesthetic but we still want it to be your art! We will simply take the artwork and turn it into a painting asset in the game such as these:

Looking into this! Thanks

Any chance you could send me the game save and ideally a screenshot of the place where it happens? We can't see anything useful in the logs and would love to get to the bottom of this! You can send it in a PM if you don't want to post it here

You can post it here

My apologies, sometimes a post slips through the cracks, I'll check with the team to see what the issue might be! Thank you for your patience!
