Hey there, fellow ylanders! 
 

It seems that many of you managed to give the new Editor / Visual Scripting a try and the feedback we’re getting shows that we’re definitely headed in the right direction! :) 

However - just as I mentioned the last time - there are still many things that need to be improved and added. The most important thing is having proper documentation. We’ve given you the tools and now we’ll do our best to make sure you can use them effectively. We plan to do that in two steps:

 

Ylands Academy

Some of you might have noticed that we created a new section on our Forums called "Ylands Academy", where right now you can find a place dedicated to the Visual Scripting (more will be added in the future). We would like this to become your source of knowledge when it comes to creating awesome things in Ylands. For starters, we’ve added a brief overview on how the scripting works - it even contains some things that are not that obvious, so we encourage you to check it out.

 

For example, did you know that you can...

* duplicate already existing tiles by holding CTRL while dragging them

* pull a single tile from a sequence by holding SHIFT while dragging it

* use F to cycle through top levels of tile stacks

Ylands Academy... We've just started but trust me - some pretty amazing things will happen in there! :) 

 

We will keep adding content and links there, but we would like you to share whatever cool you create with the help of Visual Scripting - ideally by providing at least some hints or tips, so that others can learn from it. We expect that it will take some time before many of you feel confident enough to share you victories (and failures ;)) with others but don‘t worry, we‘re not going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Update 0.10.1

Before 0.11 we will release the build 0.10.,1 which won’t be a "proper large update", but it will still contain some interesting things - especially some related to the Visual Scripting and Editor documentation. Not only will we add the much-needed hints where they are needed so that you don’t have to learn about hotkeys from forum posts, but there will be a wiki with documentation. We want you to be able to easily access that from the Editor just as in many other user-friendly apps. The documentation made by us will cover the basics - and then we would like you to be able to step in and help us form the rest of it.

We expect 0.10.1 to be released in the first half of October.

 

 

That's it for now – I'll talk to you again next Friday, when we’ll get to talk about 0.11. Until then have a great time - and stay classy!
