[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: July 2026

HellOw,

Our developers have something to tell you!

Every three weeks, approximately, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”

This topic is a way of keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with the game. We invite you to discuss and leave your feedback for each of the publications.

Note: All posts must adhere to the forum guidelines and be constructive.

Take a look at our Devs' Corner here!

Warm wishes,

okay, so neither of you are actually playing the game in portrait mode, you're just rotating your phones to be also in landscape mode so the text looks larger, or holding your phone normally and the site being microscopic (what I'm currently doing), neither of which is an actual portrait mode, which is the entire issue. please explain better next time, I was hoping I would finally be able to play the game again without getting migraines :\

That's why I said you can't go back to the old mobile version, but you can rotate to hold it in a portrait format. The new app forces landscape view, so when I read "portrait mode" I thought you just meant the ability to view it in portrait format. Apologies for my confusion

I wonder what they meant by making the game horizontal?

In previous Rides game you would progress forward in an up and down way. We just tested this promo and you now go forward from left to right.

While I love the idea of packs, I only use the dial when I'm skilling and those horses have nyx packs so not quite sure who would want that pack on a horse with arms or nothing at all?

It is FAR too soon to be doing YET ANOTHER Ephemeral Season default smiley :s

These are SO time-intensive, they need to be spaced out more. And it will come RIGHT as an Ascent season ends default smiley (d). I HAVE to slog through enough rounds of Ascent so that my divines can continue dropping Obols and Drachmas during the “off season”. So I will go from one slog to another almost immediately default smiley (d)default smiley (d)

There should be at LEAST 3 whole months between seasons of Ephemeral.

Spyder that kinda sounds like the layout they do for the mazes.

Ugh, more Ephemerals... they're WAY too sloggy to be any fun back to back to back. default smiley :( Luckily Lusitanos aren't a breed I care for very much so I can skip/do the bare minimum but I wish there'd be more of a break between them.

Okay I get what they are talking about. I don't know why they bothered with this change. Except changing things to just change things.

“Developers” that have to justify their paycheck to the company.

They could, you know, fix the broken parts of the game we’ve been complaining about for years. But those things are too hard for them. So instead we get a new broken app, a new broken header, rotate mini game 90°, we lose the charming Old Internet look of the game, etc. etc.

Feedback regarding the new carousel on desktop: when the carousel is expanded, we should be able to collapse it again by clicking any area outside the carousel menu, not just the little arrow at the top.
