Recommended Posts

CHANGELOG

Meaningful Music - 28/03/2018

THE_LINE.png

THE_LINE.png

NOTE: Due to the map system being reworked, all existing map items will be cleared (the world will become "unexplored") after opening your game. Unfortunately, this couldn't be avoided.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • New dynamic music. A lot of new great tracks performed by a live orchestra that are played based on players' current situations. The music is layered, meaning that it can get more or less intense based on the level of threat etc. Please note that with the introduction of the new music system your audio volume preferences will be reset.
  • New avatar heads and hairstyles (now with physics enabled)
  • You can now purchase Decorations and place them in the world both in the Editor or your current game (they are strictly cosmetic objects that give you no advantage). Once they are placed in the world, you have to confirm that you want to remove them from your account - only then they become truly a part of the world. Please note that from that moment they behave as any other object - they can be broken, stolen etc...
  • The map system has been reworked completely. The visual representation is now slightly different, you can zoom out as much as necessary, it is faster and works both in SP and MP. It is ready for note-taking, which we plan to introduce in one of the future updates. Please note that only maps that are placed in the hotbar are getting updated as you travel and explore. The map shows the original, initial state of the world and therefore won't reflect any terrain changes made in the game or in the Editor.

    NEW FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS

    • Fixed crafting potion status effect so that it crafts instantly again
    • Players can't plant in other player's Protective barriers
    • Adjusted stack sizes of all plants
    • Hardness of the dirt and grass voxels is now the same for the same dirt yield when digging
    • Some voxel types were adjusted in arid and temperate regions not to drop sand and dirt at the same time when digging
    • Sand and wet sand voxels are yielding more sand now when digging
    • Lightning bolts should strike much less often now
    • Added different types of picking animation  
    • Increased some containers' slot counts
    • Some container recipes changed to better fit the crafting tree
    • Autosave interval increased to 10 minutes

    Hype!

    1. Sounds great!

    2. I am totally cool with you guys selling cosmetics as that means you can put in more updates :)

    Sounds good in general but I will never buy one-use cosmetics, after all what's the point? I've already played on several new save games and scenarios and not being able to use it multiple times makes no sense. Not a rant, just honest feedback.

    I love that no matter which update, there are always some of my wishes fulfilled. When I started playing first sandbox games on my phone (that means Minecraft rip offs) I always wondered how great would it be if there were more items and animals. And all of them looking more realistic. Realistic nature. How cool would it be not to be limited by some kind of grid. Or even the ability to intersect items! (shoutout to spyler.1989, I really loved your ship) I swear that Ylands is the game that I thought was only in my head. Witcher 3 has been great. Minecraft was a transfer station full of creativity. But Ylands is the game. And I can't wait to hear the violins in it!

    Well done guys! I loved the new songs.
    Unfortunately I was having a heart attack while fighting: :P
    I bought almost all the armor.

    Thanks for the hard work!

    To the Ylands team, well done on the .8 update and thank you. I was happy with your communication on how it was progressing and even happier to see you managed to get it out before the weekend! Stoked! 

    The new music you've added it fantastic, adds another dimension to the game, and the choice of music is beautiful.                                                                 The added blocks, roofs, railings,boxes etc are perfect.. a real "game changer"... patience sure paid off, I for one don't mind that you've added decorations for sale, I've snapped up a whole bunch already to add... plus they're pretty dam cheap. I look forward to you adding more in the future, along with the pets :)   

    Well done on the map update in Multiplayer, hopefully it doesn't fill the servers up too fast with the memory.

    Well done team, nice set of fixes you have there! im impressed.

    Been running the DS for 30mins now and i have been playing, the gameplay is smooth and great, no hickups/stuttering/micro lagg/pauses (yet), 0.8 seems to be MP's savoir for now.

    will have to test for longer, but so far no problems.

     

    @kimbuck Steam was down before i logged on today 30mins ago.. update was there for me, might have something to do with steam being down.

    Is anyone else seeing time run slowly?  My current explore is 48min duration days.  I've been sailing for about 1/2 hour real time, looking for new islands, and the game time went from 6:10 to 6:20.

    Quick observation - login times are much improved, kudos to the programmer who cleaned that up.  Trees are still crazy - sometimes they become unchoppable until you log out and back in.  Overall performance seems good, but we started with a new map for 0.8 so we haven't uncovered all of the Ylands yet - will report back once the map is all discovered.  One problem that is new though - the entire server (5-6 of us) would get booted every once in a while (it happened at least 3 times within a span of 2 hours) where we'd all get connection time outs and we'd have to log back in again (good job on the queue, we get in real quick without clobbering each other like in previous versions).

    Not sure if the timeouts were because of the server or what, so I'll give the system a clean recycle tomorrow morning and see how tomorrow plays out.  If it continues to get timeouts with server-wide disconnects, I'll provide client and server logs.

    On a more positive note, I like the way the map works now.  It's great being able to zoom all the way out to see all the islands at once.  And nice to know it's been set up for more features later.

    Although this is traditionally when we point out all of the issues that have arisen, I would just like to take a moment to thank you all for a few things that never got a mention above...

    - The map seems to now remember the zoom you leave it on

    - We are shown the time without having to commit to sleeping (I think that’s new)

    - We sleep quicker (in single player)

    - We get out of bed after waking

     

    And one other thing I can’t quite put my finger on, but the rendering of lit buildings/ships in the distance seems miles better. I notice it because my base comprises of several buildings/ships spread out, and now looking at my base from afar at night seems almost photographic :x
