- Finishin Update 1.4.1 and working on Exploration Update
- Two Awards at the 2019 Czech Games
- New Games in the Workshop
Hey there Ylanders!
While we are finishing up work on our small 1.4.1 update and also while working on our big 1.5 Exploration update, we thought we’d share a few good news snippets with you 😊
One of them being, as you might have noticed on various Social Media, that we won a couple of prizes 😁 At the 2019 Czech Games awards, which got postponed because of the covid situation, we managed to win not one, but two categories 🙂 First one being the free-to-play category for the creative freedom we give every player interested in building and creating and second for best technology solutions, mainly for our Visual Scripting tools and overall powerful Editor. We are of course very proud of our hard-working team and humbled to receive such awards, but it is also because of your help and feedback, that we got to this stage, so thank you too 😊 But as we said in previous Dev Diaries, this in no way means, that we are done or that we are satisfied, but rather, that we want to get better and better, especially now with our big plans surrounding Exploration.
Here are the awards themselves, though unfortunately, they are only in Czech and without subtitles.
And second good news we have is, that while normally we keep the biomes of Ylands in china and Western Ylands separate, the Creators there are creating a huge amount of some truly spectacular games and projects, so we got together with our friends in China to port some of these games to our Workshop too, so you can try them out and enjoy some really ingenious games. There are a few on the workshop now, that you can try right away, but we’ll be getting some more in down the line. But this won’t be a one way street, because down the line after some of our competitions, that we are very close to announcing, the best of the best from our Workshop will be invited to share their Creations with our chums in the East and maybe at some point we could do a competition between the two Workshops 😉 But that’s for another time.
So until next time, stay classy Ylanders 👋
