[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 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

The text size for the item amounts in your inventory has also changed for me and now it's smaller and harder to see at a glance what amount of that item you have

If you are seeing changes that are not mentioned in the change log it is worth clearing your device/browser/app cache in case it is keeping old information and not accessing some of the altered data properly. That does often happen after multiple changes have been made to the game.

I clear my data/cashe regularly to help prevent any issues luckily. Still have UI changes for the app unfortunately

It’s not the cache/cookies, just a sneaky update they tried to pass thinking no one would notice

Anyone else having issues on mobile with the extend board notifications not linking to the horse being requested for? Like it only links to the boxes page but then I have to go through each horse one by one to find who needs the extension?

Is it just me or does the mobile app now show horses as bedded down if 1) you haven't woken them up yet and 2) if they actually are bedded down?? I can't tell at a glance which horses are actually bedded down or just haven't been woken up from the previous day so I'm having to click every single one of my horses to make sure I actually took care of them, which is messing me up on my larger farms. default smiley :(

Yeah I’m not a fan of the new change on mobile. It’s now very hard to tell which horses I’ve worked and bedded today, and which are just carryovers from yesterday.

Also I want to second the comment above about bringing back the commas in sales prices. The numbers are already pretty small font on mobile, and it’s hard to tell sometimes how many zeroes are in a price. I can’t tell you know many sales I’ve nearly bought thinking they’re a great deal because I misread it as 30k instead of 300k.

I have a couple of questions about GA coats.

I'm wondering if players themselves choose which colour category they put their creation in or whether it is done some other way. The reason I ask is a lot of the coats seem to be in the wrong colour selection. For example if I am looking for a palomino colour coat and select the yellow filter, you can get browns,blacks and greys. I wonder if this could be tightened up so you get the colour your actually looking for.

My second question is can the filters be allowed to offer two choices. For example if I wanted a paint horse which is black and white, I could choose the white and black filter.

Thanks

"The divine horse Greyfell now has a number attached to its name, making it easier to identify the different variations you own."

Can it be? Actual breeding farm trophies that aren't just "gather poo?" default smiley <:o)

These are long overdue, I'm so glad they've finally arrived!

Awesome update for new trophies. Managed to earn 20 from retro active breeding and received 5 gifts, including Rongo.

I'm all for breeding trophies, and actual horse related trophies default smiley :d Good job.

I do wonder, if any way of grouping the trophies is in the works? It's getting really difficult to go through all of them, to see the progress of few I want to focus on.

Ideally, they'd be in their separate tabs, or at least menus you can collapse.

With division for say,

-Divine horses
-Regular horses
-Other actions
-Promos (With current promos you can actually work on, ON TOP, and the rest below)

On occasion the trophy is complete, I'd prefer it greyed out, and at the bottom of the menu it belongs to, or even lower, in separate menu for the "completed trophies"

(I think it's been said that trophy page system overhaul is being worked on, any chance anything I mentioned will happen there? Because boy howdy would that make life easier)

Good job howrse default smiley :)

The new carousel taking up my entire screen with a teeny tiny exit button when I click on it is incredibly obnoxious, I far preferred the previous carousel display.

Do you mean more options for sorting than what's already available in the drop down menu?

Can we please get the daily objectives fixed on mobile. I'm tired of refreshing or leaving the page and coming back in order for the gauge to fill and to get the HOP.

I won so many prizes today that I got my next divine...the rear end of a Kaktos!default smiley xd
Click to display



Mobile collected all of my gifts at once, and they couldn't fit all of Kaktos into the gift bag, poor thing.

The rest of him made it safely to my breeding farm.

Yes I agree that it is getting difficult to scroll through them the longer the list gets. I think adding tabs at the top would probably be the best. Breeding Farm, Equestrian Center, Events, Divines .... etc. Would make it a lot easier to look through them.


I am very happy with all these changes.

-The New trophies are great!
- Happy with the numbers on the Greyfell, they were hard to tell apart before, I had to put their number in the notes box on their page to keep track.
-The carousel thing will take some time to get used to, but I do like that you can click to go right to the one you want rather than having to click through the whole lot before finding the one you are looking for.
