Ahoy Ylanders, Whether you are exploring with pals, your little ones, the significant other, cat on your lap or just a bunch of adventurers you've met on our Discord server we think that Ylands is really great when played together. New Ylanders are coming in every day, so we've decided to sum up all the multiplayer options. Btw. Can you guess how many times the word "host" is used in the diary? If you do you can win one of the 2 Space Rabbits costumes! Joining a game There are two options how to play Ylands multiplayer. Join a game or host one. You can find your friends' games (from your in-game friend list) in the social tab of the menu and simply join them. Hosting is a bit more ticklish, but it ain't rocket science either, let's explore it further. PC Multiplayer Options There are three ways to host an Ylands multiplayer game at the moment. You can see their differences in the screen above and we will go through them in more detail below. While they are different, they do have some things in common. By default, your session is always "Not visible to the public". You can enable this option so anyone can see your game and potentially join you there. If your game is not visible to the public only your friends can find it. Make sure to add your pals to your Ylands friend list. You can always set a maximum "Player Count" and the "Passphrase" for an additional control. 1. "Host a Game" Probably the easiest way to embark on an adventure together. It is free and easy to setup. All you need to do is to press Esc while in the Adventure mode, select switch to "Host Multiplayer" and click the "Update" button. Your game is now running in multiplayer and is visible to your friends. Up to 9 other players can join you! There is one little catchy catch tho. The host needs to be online. There is no hosting a game without a host. Someone could even say that it is a quite hostile multiplayer option. 2. "Sharegame" This Steam-only multiplayer option is also really easy to set up, and the host doesn't need to be online, yay! In other words, the host is whoever starts the Sharegame therefore, it requires a password (elsewhere it's optional). The possibility to swap the host might come in handy as someone with the top of the shelve setup can offer the best performance. You can host up to 3 games with the data capacity of 80 Mb each for free. Just to paint a picture, that is a lot of space unless you are building whole cities or gargantuan bus infrastructure for giant geese who live in those ordinary-human-size cities. Anyway, if you wish to build enormous structures, and cities together, you can rent more space on the steam cloud - up to 5 games with capacity of 500 Mb each. You can turn it on the same way as ordinary hosting, or you can set it up through a hosting tab in the menu. Then you can make all your weird giant geese dreams come true. 3. "Rent a Dedicated Server" The third option is renting your own server. As you can see on the first screenshot it has all the perks there can be, but for a cost since we need to pay to the server provider for that. There are two tiers of servers which you can find in the shop: Elementary servers and High Performance servers. Elementary servers can host universal (supports cross play) or mobile scenarios. High Performance servers can host any kind of scenario whatsoever (also supports cross play) and provide faster loading. If you choose to host a server, you can do it both ways. Find the "Hosting" tab in the menu and upload a game save or switch to the "Host on a Rented Server" while in the Adventure Mode in the "Multiplayer Settings". MOBILE Multiplayer and Cross-Platform Play Currently there is only one mobile multiplayer option, and it is the "Rent a dedicated server" - the same hosting process, the same joining process. In case you want to play cross-platform on PC and Mobile there is one thing to be mindful of. The mobile and PC platform maps/scenarios work differently. Putting it simply, PC maps are more complex and can't be run on a mobile platform. Because of that, make sure to set the "Platform" box onto "Universal" while setting the "Host on a Rented Server". Also, it is advisable to host the cross-platform multiplayer from a mobile device as on a PC your map will most likely be of the complex kind and therefore making you ineligible to host a universal game. Co-op and PvP Settings Just a quick last note! While playing together be mindful of your actions. The default PvP settings are enabling friendly fire! In case you don't want that or want to adjust your Co-op settings so no one destroys your sandcastles or geese bus stations you can do that in the "Game Settings" tab inside the in game "Multiplayer Settings". How do you play Ylands? All by yourself or do you prefer some company and what of these multiplayer options are you using? Share with us in the comments and Stay Classy! Also don't forget! This diary is a host to the counting giveaway, so post a comment with the answer. The winners will be picked randomly and announced in the next Dev Diary #276. Host, host, host!

Highlights Ranged weapons damage optimization Blueprints can be built and stay on the yland Story Yland's general bug fixing Tutorial's general bug fixing Changelog 2.0.4 FIXED YLD-30891 Fixed: we fixed the game stuck on starting island if the player used several mobile devices with the same account (it could happen that there was a missing correct warning message + we adjusted the message).

Ahoy Ylanders, It takes a bit of time to progress from crafting torches and grass ropes to building computers and meeting aliens. That applies for both Ylands and the real life. There are new players coming every day, so we thought it might be nice to show what awaits further in the game and how to get there. Regions First things first, there are 6 regions in Ylands. Every one with its own difficulty, temperature and unique resources that you can find there. Seriously, do not underestimate the difficulty and make sure you are prepared before you venture into the next level. You don't wanna die for a piece of iron, right? Stone and Glass These are the first main materials. The important thing here is, that you can make tools out of them! 🔨 Why is that important? Because they let you to gather other materials and progress in the game towards the next-level regions, materials and tools. Iron This is a real revolution that awaits Ylanders in the Far East Region, but be prepared, you need at least an obsidian pick to mine it! It is probably the largest "material tier" that there is in Ylands. You can create dozens of stuffs by processing iron! Since this diary is supposed to help you orient in the world of Ylands, today's featured item that is made from iron is accomplishing the very same thing: the Compass! Also, iron has its own set of tools! 🔨 Steel It shouldn't be that surprising, but you make steel out of iron. How to do it you ask? You need fuel. Go to the Temperate Region and get yourself some coal! Of course, you do need at least an iron pick to mine it. After you spend a few minutes in the heat of the Foundry you can really paint the lily! What do we mean? The featured item that is made from steel is: the Paintgun! Also, steel has its own set of tools! 🔨 Zirconium Okay, we are getting serious here. You probably already know your way around the world of Ylands while roaming the Tundra & Taiga in order to hoard a zirconium ore. Still, we have to say it. This is no country for the underprepared. The danger is one thing, but Zirconium requires a minimum of a Steel Pick or a Steel Hand Drill to be mined. Speaking of gear! Featured item which is made with Zirconium is the best firearm in Ylands! To be fair, you also need Orichalcum ingots to craft it, but the name says it all: the Zirconium Rifle! Also, zirconium has its own set of tools! 🔨 Ylandium and Cobalt Did anyone say computers? Alien tech?! In Ylands?! Yes. You can create these from resources like Ylandium or Cobalt. Tundra & Taiga and the Arctic Regions is where you need to go to retrieve these. It is no joke out there! So be careful not to encounter too many bad dreams. Surprisingly enough, a spaceship or any other alien tech is not what we will feature here today. The item that deserves this shout out is without any doubts the Propeller Pack! Also, neither Ylandium nor Cobalt have their own set of tools. Surprise! We hope that this week's very shallow materialistic diary will help you not to drown in the overwhelming amount of content you can find in Ylands. Progress with caution and Stay Classy!

Hi, thanks for reaching out and welcome to our forum! Sharegame is Steam-only feature (it runs on steam cloud), therefore it is not possible to connect there any other way. Renting a dedicated server is required to launch multiplayer on Mobile platforms. Also, in case you want to play cross platform, make sure to upload on the server maps that are "universal", there is a platform option for that. Let us know in case you need any further help.

Ahoy Ylanders! Have you ever wondered how Ylands visuals come to life? Here is your chance to peek behind the scenes. As you probably don't know, there are jackals coming into the game one day and we will use their visual production as today's example! Also, you might want to know that jackals are monogamist, as they mate for life. Step 1 - Game Design idea Here it all starts and ends. The game designers figure out that jackals are the way to go for the next content update and provide seemingly endless list of specification like: In which regions can you find jackals? How fast and aggressive are they? Can you tame them? Something like our community Ylands wiki! Step 2 - Art brainstorm and sketches It's art's turn! How to integrate a real jackal's visual into the low poly art style of Ylands and meet all of the game designers' conditions at the same time? That's what artists brainstorm together and create first sketches. Based on those sketches we can figure out the Ylands jackal's final look! Step 3 - 3D model and wireframe The next thing we need to do is to add one more dimension. No biggie! Once the 3D model is ready, we create its wireframe that connects parts of the jackal's body so they are influenced by each other's movement. Sounds easy and smooth, right? Well, just wait 'till it starts moving! Step 4 - Animation Let's play a game. What are all the kinds of movement that Ylands animals can do? Walking, running, several attack types, jumping, getting hit, getting petted, feeding on a bait, you get the point, there is a lot of them. Now, the animators animate animations for the jackal, and it comes to life! While it would be great to give you a sneak peak of a moving jackal, the animations are quite complex and usually take the longest time in animal creation. Instead, we will offer you this cool story: A long time ago, when it was the honey badger's time to be animated, we couldn't find any suitable reference of a real honey badger moving. It was a real struggle. We didn't expect this to happen, but luckily there was a family of honey badgers in the nearby zoo. We shot our own reference videos and now the Ylands honey badgers can happily roam the Tropical Region. Yay! Step 5 - Implement *Insert some very important, but very non-artsy and technical animation-controlling gibberish here.* When the technical necessities are done the game designers will add finished jackal to the game database and set their specifications like hit points, where you can find them, and so on. Voila! New doge good boys are ready to be let out. Woof woof woof woof woof! Btw. You might wanna know that each jackal family has their own yipping sound that only members of their own family respond to. Cool, right? The whole process usually takes several weeks, and it is quite similar for almost every entity that needs to be manifested in the game. Hopefully, you've enjoyed this little peek behind the scenes of Ylands art creation and we wish you a great weekend. Stay Classy Ylanders.

Thank you so much to both of you. Feedbacks like this are really important to us and we appreciate you are taking time to let us know. 🙏

@CaptainJohn Hi, sorry, the first question must have slipped by us. We will look into the name change and let you know. Thank you.

Ahoy Ylanders! We are back today with a really sentimental diary entry. We've known this for a long time, but today we are in a bit of a "touchy feely" mood, so we wanted to stop and appreciate the fact that our players form if not the greatest then definitely the friendliest gaming community ever! There are no cry messages like: (read in broken English) "WHY YOU DIDIN'T RUSH B AS I SAID YOU #$.@&^!%* YOU @#$%^&!!!" ever to be encountered. Just never. That is something beautiful and quite uncommon among gaming communities. Since you are all so classy, we want to express from the bottom of our hears the biggest THANK YOU! This was one of the most epic parties ever. You can find more screenshots and also videos from the party in #cag_stories room on our server. What can I do on Ylands Discord? 1. You can get in-game stuff for free - #announcements Here and there, there are some competitions and C.A.G. call to arms that helps us spread the word of the Guild and our beloved game. Right now, we are collecting beautiful screenshots, mainly from newborn adventurers and their Ylands adventures, which can earn them a Puffer Captain pet. So go and get yours! ❤️ 2. Show off your screenshots - #screenshots_ylands Whether it is something you built or great natural views you have encountered on your journey, share it! 3. Find new friends to play with - #looking_for_group Join someone who is looking for a party or feel free to reach out to others. Really, you have nothing to be nervous about, we are all super friendly here. 4. Let other knows you are streaming - #streamers_or_videos The game should be Ylands ofc, and this is the room to do it! 5. Solve your issues with game - #troubleshooting Need to ask something? Think you discovered a bug or weird glitch? Have a game suggestion of any kind? Choose one of the # rooms in the TROUBLESHOOTING section and get in touch with us and the community. 6. Meet the legends and become one of them There are few hardcore celebrity-Ylanders who are super active and have stayed with us for a while now. Helping everyone new on board, sharing epic ships and detailed interiors that only the most experienced of our artists could create. Seriously we are often astonished with your creations, and again, thank you for that. Honorable mention: Handofthesly is working on our wiki since 8th May 2017!!! We couldn't be more grateful as they are doing great job. Yet it is a lot of work for only one person, so get in touch with them in case you want to join on the wiki-duty, their Discord nick: "handofthesly #1492". Thank you so much for everything you do for the game Handofthesly! Anyway, we could go on like this for a while so, you better check the server on your own. How do I get to the Ylands Discord? Right here! Just click the link and start meeting people and let's grow the Ylanders community together. ❤️ https://discord.gg/ylands

Thank you so much for the comments. It means a lot to us. ❤️

Ahoy Ylanders! Today we want to ask you a BIG question. What is REALLY important in Ylands? "Crafting?" Nah. Not important. "Exploration?" Maybe. Let's say, nice to have. "Fighting?" Uh, of course NOT! "Ships! This must be it. For sure, what can be more important than ships?" Yes! Ships are cool. BUT! Surprisingly enough, we believe that the answer is stories. Memories that we experienced together with our friends and close ones. Just as in real life! "One time, when we were testing the game, one of our devs got lost at the sea at night, so others have made her a fire on an yland so she could find the rest of the team. It was scary but then our heroine finally saw a small light. Until the last moment she thought it's other devs, but it turned out it was a random player from Turkey who joined our testing session." - Aleš, story from our developer's Friday feedback playtime "I loved that one time when we were streaming with Spectrumnist and encountered even more mutated bears in an ice cave while chatting about Sims 4 challenges and Spec shot me in the head. By accident ofc... That was so funny." - Anna, and her "ouch" moment also on a video: Highlight: Ylands Update Stream w/ the DEVS! | Chill Stream | (Dec 9, 2022) - Twitch "Remember that time, when we ran into a terrorbird for the first time and you were so excited to tame it and name it Alyssa, but we couldn't find any bananas anywhere, so we sailed to another yland and got lost in the storm for like 2 hours? You went bananas! XD But you did befriend that terrorbird and now you have bunch of new stories with Alyssa!" - Patrik, and his could-be-true-if-my-wife-played-Ylands-with-me story as he did look for bananas to tame terrorbird and got lost in the storm just the other day all by himself. And this is just the tip of an iceberg. See for example the adventures of FluffDaSheep Gaming, there are so many stories in this single video: That is why we presented the handbook and lore in 2.0 update, and why we want to continue to improve and expand those aspects of Ylands. What about you and your stories? Share them with us right here in the comments! We can't wait to read them all and experience some more together. See ya and stay classy!

Ahoy, Ylanders! First Dev Diary in the renewed 2.0 Ylands is finally here, and it is quite arbitrary as you will soon see. The C.A.G. editorial team has made the executive decision to let the dice decide this diary's theme, and it's random encounters! What a coincidence, right? Disclaimer: As you go through today's diary you will encounter several very fun and very arbitrary facts about random encounters in Ylands. Random Random Encounters Fact N°1 The oldest, still accessible random encounter in Ylands is this friendly campfire. It stayed with us since Ylands 1.0. Cool, right? What are Random Encounters? Hmm... how to put this simply. There are encounters in Ylands and whether it's a native civilization, a shipwreck with a bunch of ghosts and loot, or some fancy monument, they are not easy to find. You kinda just have to wander around the world to randomly encounter them. Also, they are fun! Never forget to mention when something is fun, that is classy adventurer 101 stuff. Random Random Encounters Fact N°2 With update 2.0 we added 33 RE's! (Yeah, that's random encounters for short.) Also, can you guess why 33? The answer is super obvious and will be revealed by the end of this Diary. New 2.0 update RE's There are many new RE's in update 2.0! It would take hours to write and read about those. Luckily, we can't and don't want to spoil all the randomness there, but we can definitely show you at least some of those! Embalming Temple It seems that skin care business is having a hard time in Ylands, so we decided to give it a bit of a boost. In Arid you can now find a fella who is embalming the deceased. So, in case you need some skin care, you know where to go. Random Random Encounters Fact N°3 Did you know that there is a DayZ themed RE to be found? Well, now you do! Ancient Ruins Encounters New ancient ruins were discovered in the Tropical region with the update 2.0. They seem to be some kind of blend of eastern islands and Latin American culture. Also, it is said that when the weather is right, lucky explorers can get a glimpse of elemental spirits here! Random Random Encounters Fact N°4 Yup. That is the number of all active Random Encounters in the world of Ylands. Can you guess why 299? The answer is still obvious, and same as the one to the question before. It's RANDOM! Tadaa. I hope we all agree that this diary encounter got as arbitrary as it can get but feel free to let your inner randomness loose and post a totally stray comment below and as always, stay classy!

Hi there, I am contacting other members of the team to provide full answer and I will get back to you then. Thanks for understanding.

I'll start right now! Monitors are both lizards and devices, simply mind blowing. 🤯😁

Ahoy, @Joshua_X, Thanks for the question. We are actively working on it as we are aware of its current state, and want it to be the best it can be, so stay tuned!

Ahoy, @Sazzle, It is a great idea, but it is not planned right now. We will definitely include it among the top-notch community ideas! Thank you for that.

Ahoy, @Sazzle, counterintuitively it is quite complicated issue and every option for solving it will force us to give up on something else that we valuate more. Just as a quick example, one solution would render the sailing movement to be very sketchy and ugly. We are aware of the issue, and we are looking for a solution that won't break anything else that we consider more important (the task dates back to 2021 😂 ). Thanks for understanding and sorry for not responding a year ago. 🙏

⭐HIGHLIGHTS⭐ Handbook Get immersed into the world of Ylands even more! Now your character can write a diary for you to read while you explore the history and curiosities of the Classy Adventurers Guild. Also if you ever lacked a sense of direction, this is over too as events and tasks will help you to dive in the complexity of Ylands easily. Story ylands With a great handbook comes a great Story yland, first from many. Let's find out what new and exciting adventures are waiting for you! Updated tutorial Way smoother experience for new players. Handbook helps to guide you and the whole tutorial is more straightforward, which ensures smooth start for any newcomer out there. So, don't be afraid to invite your friends! Sailing on wind We are always thinking how to make sailing even more fun and today we are introducing wind currents. If you catch the wind, you will be rewarded. If not, well, nothing really changes for you. Asset & Crafting revision Crafting was made much easier to understand as many midway products or food pieces were made optional, some unnecessary objects (looking at you Wood Pulp) even obsoleted and many resources merged together like Seashells, Healing Herbs, Fabric Plants... Some previously not quite useful things like Cobalt are now much more viable and necessary. Not only that, crafting tree was polished in a way that recipes should now unlock much more intuitively, were split to workstations and balanced to tiers to make sense with the new combat balance. Along with some new inventory containers and resource packages, both crafting and inventory should be easier to manage. Animals, plants and resources are now even more bound to their biomes that they were before to give much more unique feeling for each biome. Cut Down Plant Interaction As the plants were one of the most problematic inventory-flooders, they now yield a resource directly upon picking up. If you want to get the plant itself for seeds or just decoration, grab a knife and cut the plant whole. Combat Improvements Combat finally got some necessary focus. Both the damage mathematics, the AI and mechanics behind it got some love. Thus, new balancing and new combat experience came to be. With new stamina system, you can sprint, but no longer spam dodge. AI is more responsive, has less blind spots and its special attacks have more impact. Along with new combat balancing, you will encounter much more often various damage types, now merged to Physical, Physical Ranged, Fire, Cold and Energy. Not only enemies can use those elements against you, but when you utilize them, you might get an advantage in caves and encounters. Both weapons and armor sets were looked into as well to match the new balancing. Main menu The new main menu will no longer make you wonder what kind of a game Ylands is. Ylands is Adventure. Travel from anywhere in Exploration Sailing to the edge of the map so you can travel to the next yland was cool stuff, right? You can feel the adventure in your veins! Water splashing, the soundtrack playing all around, fish vibing, sun shining and other cool Ylands stuff that we all love, but only if you don't have to. We say no more sailing to the end of the world! Now all you need to do is get on your ship and choose the destination. Terrain generation improvement It is quite a complex task to generate so many ylands, so there will be always stuff to improve. Today we introduce more diversity and picturesque of individual ylands and bays, especially in terms of size and embossing. Also, improved textures on mountains, and a bit higher sea bottom levels. Better UX There are also several UX adjustments. MP/SP ylands color is more distinguishable now, the total count of Exploration points is much easier to find. We also make new MP maps hidden from the public by default so nobody else can join your game with friends. Loading optimization We did several optimizations so the loading times are much shorter. Yay! Fishing on the boat Getting hungry in the middle of the sea is a bummer. Not so much if you have a rod, but still, the need to lower the anchor, which obviously spooked all the nearby fish was even bummer-er. The solution is easy! Now you can fish from aboard a moving boat or ship! Recipe bundles It is fun to grind and earn your recipes, but it is also nice to do as you please, right? Now you can get new cosmetics recipes wrapped up in thematic bundles. Of course, they can still be found in the game, but if you do buy it, you will keep it for that account forever. Yes, even if you restart your progress. Terrain generation UI for Sandbox and Editor You can now choose what type of yland you want to generate for your Sandbox game. Handy, right? Random Encounters We added 33 new REs, mainly for Tropical Biome (but not only there). Ancient Temples and Ruins are guarded by traps and living stones. With courage, try to find out, how many various elemental spirits are dwelling in those ruins. Audio Occlusion New sound occlusion is a feature that simulates a sound being blocked by an obstacle - either terrain or building blocks. Thus every sound originating behind an obstacle will be more or less quieter and muffled for the player. Key bindings We've updated the keybinding system to be more easily navigable and user-friendly. Aside from implementing a better hotkey conflict system, we've split the Editor and the Visual Scripting categories into subcategories and added a variety of new keybinding options for them. You can explore these changes in the Controls tab in your game settings. Editor: Script Explorer Document switcher is a whole new tool in Visual Scripting, which allows you to browse through all script canvases and freely switch between them. There are also some new options to search for a tile and its occurrence across the whole scenario, which should make your life a bit easier as well. In addition, it is now possible to open up Visual Scripting canvas from the Tool Menu. Editor VS: Multi-Canvas Yet another new tool! Organizational one, that allows you to split a script of one object in multiple sub canvases. The canvases are organized into tabs on the Visual Scripting tool bar. This allows for great reduction in the amount of objects needed for a complex scenario and helps to shrink size of each individual canvas. Editor: Improvements Various improvements and fixes of the Editor and Visual Scripting, including: Storages can now be attached directly from Object properties in a similar manner to Labels. "Entity type" catalogue button was added to the non-referenced property window. "Get variable" now can show literal tiles. These can be dragged out and used in the script. "Get/Set skin color/type" and "Get/Set hair color/type" tiles were added. They work with NPCs only. Custom Enum can now be created in any entity or game logic object, not only in the Global storage. Array of enums can now be generated from the Enum type enumerable. Light Logic and Path Logic can now be spawned or deleted from scripts while playing the game. New "Get Switched On <entity>" tile was added. It returns the switch state of entities like levers, buttons etc. New "Color to hex <color>" tile was added. It returns color in "#rrggbbaa" format. In addition, "Hex to color <string>" tile was also added. It returns the color written as a string. Custom editor tools: More script tiles and functions are useful especially when building your own tools. Postponed: Smoother camera movement We were almost there. All the prototypes were really promising. But we couldn't make it work in all the situations in that we needed it. There is still a lot of work ahead of us. But we are almost there. Watch changelogs in future updates for this feature.

Ahoy Ylanders! The new big fat update is on the verge of happening and today we will share with you probably the biggest new feature revealed so far! Everyone who will join the Classy Adventurers Guild (meaning every Ylander) will get their own Handbook. A Handbook? What is that?! TL;DR it's a super cool guide that's gonna give you all sorts of juicy Ylands lore and quest. Some are easy-peasy and great for newbies, while others are gonna test even the most veteran Ylanders out there (Looking at you YoHas). Follow your Diary journal from the day your ship sank all the way to the end of the story. Every time you do something new or cool in the game, your character will have their own ideas and notes about those things, which might push you towards further exploration and fun! So, for example when trying to swim underwater for the first time, your character might observe how a certain piece of equipment might make flip-flopping in the water easier and faster, scribbling their idea down in the Diary. You will be guided through your first crafted campfire, your first sailing, and discovering new lands. It should help you and new players understand why you learned each recipe and where to find things in the world. Not only that but you also get a list of things you might want to achieve next. Therefore, becoming an experienced adventurer is much easier now. Here are some leaked sketches As Horatio Reginald Elmwood is not the most thoughtful and disciplined of adventurers there are some leaked pictures of the Handbook, so check those out! These will appear next to important events in your Diary. We're stoked to bring this feature to you as we think it's gonna help you connect with the world of Ylands even more! So, get ready to dive into The Handbook and let us know what you think. We can't wait to hear your thoughts. Thanks, and stay classy!
