[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: October 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

Brilliant work guys!
I just had a peep after receiving my email - the account management page looks incredibly easier to adjust etc.
Also the app update is great too!
Thanks for keeping us updated.

Hate the accounts page at moment but I suppose its like every other change...I'll get used to it. Old dog, new tricks and all that.

One question: Why does the Shared Accounts information have to be so large? I personally found it better when you could see all 10 who have access and the 10 who are sharing on the one page. And if size is an issue (although big is not always better default smiley ;)) would it not be better if the Shared Accounts available was above those that have access to my account. I KNOW who has access to my account. If I'm logging on there its normally to use someone elses account and scrolling down all the time is a pain in the behookie!

Exactly what Maleficent said.

The redesigned pages don't seem to fit the aesthetic of the rest of the site and I hope so much the whole site isn't going to end up looking like those pages, they are unnecessarily difficult to navigate. Stop 'fixing' stuff that isn't broken and look to the stuff that is, because there is plenty on this site that does need fixing.

Also not a fan of the new layout, it seems clunky and old fashioned.

Looks like it is just a tweak to the wording, the objective now reads "Reach exactly xx years old with one horse"

Not a fan of the round avatars, I much preferred my square one and I wish there was a choice to either have a round or square one default smiley (8)

Can we change the icons back to square please? I'm not sure it was an issue/requested that they were changed to circles. Half of my icon is now cut off default smiley :s.

Team page avatars also now look as if they are unaligned with the rest of the page.

The round avatars look awful. It's cut off a good part of my pic that I've had for years. It seems like a good amount of space is now wasted and, as the above comment says, it looks awfully unaligned with team avatars (please don't change these too).

I love my avatar and am holding out hope that the change will be reverted so I don't need to change my av.

HellOw! Some modifications and additions have been made to the notifications center: you can now choose which notifications you want to activate! Once again, we would like to thank you for all your feedback, we are reading it all and are trying to do our best to adjust our features according to your needs. Check out this month's brand-new features in the new Dev's corner! Best wishes, The Howrse Team

The change to notifications to just show the new ones is great... HOWEVER (it's a big however...!) when I then click on View all, I expect to see all, not a screen saying no new notifications, and then having to select show all notifications...default smiley (h)

It's counter intuitive... If you click on 'view all' then it should show all as the default... Nobody wants to go to that screen to view nothing....default smiley (o)

And, if anyone wants to go there to configure what they see, they will have to do so regardless of whether the default is Show all or Show new - so they are not affected.

Clicking on the bell icon should be hard-coded to "show new" - don't change that, it is a good move!

In the Devs corner detail one of the additions states:

Added an option to mark certain notifications as "read" once they're received. This option can be configured in "My account", tab "Gameplay preferences".

Am I missing something here as I can't find that in my gameplay preferences...default smiley (8)

Also, why does it take an hour for a notification to be raised when things are finished in the workshop...

Sack the wee urchin who is not relaying the message to the EC Office in a timely manner... that's what would happen in real life... or someone would pick up the phone...default smiley (o) default smiley xd

HellOw! This month's latest update has included two brand new features! The first is a simplified covering process for some stallion Divines such as Qilin and the Falabellas. The second is an improvement to the Genetic Potential sorting in the detailed breeding section! Check out the full list of updates in the Dev's corner change log! Best wishes, The Howrse Team

I think howrse needs many changes that i can't see in dev's corner. i heard old players say that before it was better. I hope someone from administration reads this

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

I don't understand why they don't also remove the objective for winning a rosette or removing a unicorn's horn as they're dreaded by so many players and also the objective where you have to groom a divine is unfair to players who don't have any groomable divines.

I think they should have an option where you can skip the objective either in exchange for a different one or for equus.
