Dev Diary #223 What You Ask Is What You Get

[Nikki Severin 1148]

Hey there, fellow Ylanders!

Let's talk about yet another thing that you will get to find in the next update because you asked for it :). 

Several of you told us about how annoying it is you are not able to eat while exploring while riding a horse or, more importantly, hold a compass (so you can tell where you're going). This is something that wasn't initially even planned for 1.10 but since this suggestion keeps appearing, we decided to squeeze it in.

Oh, and did we mention that because you will now be able to hold items while riding you can travel through the darkness while holding a torch or a lantern?

Anyway, the moral of the story is as always - the more you talk to us, the better the game gets. Thanks for all your feedback!
 

That's it for today and we'll talk to you again next week. Until then stay healthy and classy, Ylanders!

Could I shoot the rifle or slash the sabre on horseback one day?Or maybe, add stirrup, saddle or even armor to pet.

Can we eat whilst sitting down?

100% need that Quality of Life mechanic!

On the picture there is no compass on the top right like on ships 🤔
That makes me wonder how they did it then.

It's not the full picture. Notice it gets cut off at 9 instead of 0

Totally been wanting this too! It would be nice to sit around a table or a campfire with friends without having to get up every time to eat something. It would also feel like more of a social game. Just a little animation tweak and it can be done

Bear in mind that this is still our internal version of the feature so it is not complete, and as Spirit mentioned, the image is indeed cut off

I'm assuming eating while riding horse = eating while sitting on a chair?

If that's the case, would it be possible to make food give bonus health restortation or hunger points if you eat while sitting?
