[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: April 2024

Our developers have something to tell you! Every three (3) weeks, our devs will provide you with information about their work in the “Dev’s Corner.”

This publication 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 constructively made.

Take a look at our very first Devs' Corner publication!

Warm wishes,

The Howrse Team

You can send your friends gifts already. Both parties need to have enough seniority/karma as well as validated e-mail addresses but those are the only requirements as far as I'm aware. There's also a weekly limit reset every Sunday/Monday.

Are you talking about the ability to gift horses? If so I 100% agree! That would be a wonderful improvement to the game.

Also just remember programing a game does not happen over night as there are lots of struggles you need to overcome for something that seems simple as letting players gift horses. So when posting try not to sound as demanding as I am sure that the howrse team not only knows this is something players want but something that they might already be working on. Thanks! default smiley ^)

Also what if we had a "Adopt a Newbie" Topic in the forum. The topic could be run by mods or players and it could be very beneficial to newer players. Newer players or old players who have come back and want to re-learn how to play can post in the topic saying they need help. Then older and more experienced players can be assigned to the new players as mentors and can answer any questions through PM. I understand there are plenty of ways to ask for help including the help center but sometimes it is more beneficial to have one person you can ask all your questions to when you are first starting. I know I would have found this extremely helpful when I fist stumbled upon the world of Howrse.

I have more specific details on how this could work but I won't bother who ever is reading this with those right now as this post is already long enough. Hope this is taken under consideration! default smiley ^)

I love this idea! I'm a returning player from a few years ago, but so many things had changed since then and there were a few more experienced players who really helped me out! It's definitely something I'd want to do to help new players too

I think that more than the dev's corner, we need to have the ability to comunicate with the admins. If you don't understand me, i tried to send a mail to an admin but there was an advertising that said the adress can't recieve my message.

If you need to send in a ticket to Admin to report a bug, or send feedback, you need to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page of the sitedefault smiley :)

Yes I meant the Horse gifting, not item gifting. Should have been more specific.
After this update, mobile has been TERRIBLE! Anything that I need to type just freezes up. I can barely name my foals! Also searching for coverings or sale horses- using filters just freezes everything!

even I didn't like the wandering horses event, I appreciate that the devs made the catrina coats. as a mexican, is really satisfying seeing representation of our culture.

HellOw! The latest update included some interface improvements and the removal of an unpopular objective from the daily objectives! Check out the full list of updates in the Dev's corner change log! Best wishes, The Howrse Team

Interesting

"Removal of the "Remove a Pegasus' Wings" objective from the daily objectives"

I wonder why the unicorn horn one stayed. I personally didn't have a problem with the remove a pegasus' wings but I know it caused headaches with coats etc. But surely the same headaches apply to the horn one? Anyways it is a good change.

Removal of the "Remove a Pegasus' Wings" objective from the daily objectives < I just had this one this morning default smiley xd

I'm glad to see it's been removed. It was an easy one to do for me (although I still did not like doing it) as I've several MB in stock from events and rarely use them but I always felt it was too much to ask of players with less resources.

Well done Howrse, thank you for listening default smiley (l) default smiley (y)

They could have kept 'remove pegasus wings'. Not an impossible one to complete. What should be removed is covering a female donkey or covering a draft horse.

Hopefully howrse is coming up with new objectives, because there are few I really don't need to come across more often.

I partly agree. Covering a unicorn or draft is possible for most players - and newer players will be able to buy the needed species as they get further into the game What I'd like to see go is the produce a unicorn one as that is down purely to luck. Objectives should be achievable for everyone, even if they take a bit of effort or cost a bit. That one is simply luck of the draw. Id also like nit have to produce 3 foals quite so often - surely 2 is plenty default smiley :d

They should have got rid of "give birth to a uni" lol
I like the Pegasus one because if you have a GA pegasus that you don't like then if it had been equipped with a harmony pack, and you remove its wings it give you the choice to choose a new coatdefault smiley :p
