2.3 Elven Expeditions - Changelog

[rihapat 221]

⭐Highlights⭐

Random Encounter Objectives

We improved random encounters so now you are able to keep track of RE objective progress. We hope it will motivate you and your friends to explore ylands even more now.

Luring lighthouse

A new chapter of the story takes you to the Monsoonal region where strange things started happening. Could this have something to do with the arrival of elves into the region? It is up to you (and Horatio Reginald Elmwood, of course) to find out what's going on! 

Gamepad

You can finally play Ylands with a gamepad, including an aim-assist support to help you during combat.

New Random Encounters created by community

Ross Bob had a makeover by our community. In each Region, you can find new stalls, galleries, and houses made for Ross Bob!

Quality of life improvements

You may now use the free-placing feature for your blueprints, it can be freely rotated and snaped to ground at your will. Medieval House in Random Encounter 103 contained obsolete variants of paintings so we replaced them with pieces done by a more talented painter.

EDITOR improvements:

• Polished ease of use of input fields throughout the editor.
• Merged Terrain and Advanced Terrain Tools and split Game Logics into Basic Logics and Script Logics.
• Custom Enums are now a standalone Visual Script Category.
• Custom Localizations basic workflow introduced - create your own localization tables for custom games.
• Positions and Rotations in Visual Scripting reworked to be more intuitive.
