New features

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,
The Howrse Team

    They seem to have changed it back to normal size on our profile pages, 'cause I have a tab open from yesterday of my profile page and it's 96x96 there but on my profile right now it's 120x120. But it's still 96x96 in the forums for some reason. Howrse, please change it back on the forums as well. But I'm happy they at least changed it back on the profile pages.

    Yesterday I sent a message to Contacts before they changed the avatars back to squares. Their response:

    "With the site update that took place yesterday, players had an unexpected tease of an upcoming surprise planned for September 8th. Keep an eye out on that date to see what it could be default smiley ;)"

    So there's that.

    If they're bringing these circle avatars back, they had better be an 'either-or' option. I really don't want to be forced into circle avatars.

    A surprise??? default smiley :o Perhaps we may get the opportunity to switch to a more modern and cleaner interface, or continue with the classic style?
    And I agree with ♕DisneyQueen♕, we should get the choice to have a square or circle frame for the avatar.

    At the minute, I’m enjoying how there isn’t a ‘frame’ around the avatars. It makes transparent backgrounds and circle-designed avatars (such as mine) more visually appealing and cleaner-looking. I hope they don’t add that back.

    Thank you for resorting avatars! Please don't force players to use that change, have it as an option, you will ruin a lot of players days and make us graphics artists waste so much time remaking everything for everyone we've made avatars for.

    That sounds ominous default smiley (o) Guess it's time to work on a new avatar then default smiley :@

    8th of September is the big Equideow birthday celebration isn't it?

    Ha! I just went and checked the 'Best memories' thread and there it is..


    Important:
    - A selection of the memories our players share with us will be used on the game and our social networks. Please note that your username, version and *avatar* will be used in the special event.

    unexpected tease


    How does one "unexpectedly tease" someone?
    I just don't get how it was unexpected when they decided to change it.

    I find on mobile, medi bang is definitely the best for still images, (especially transparent ones in my opinion) ezgif is the best (that I've seen) with gifs.
    And if you want to edit the gif itself instead of just resizing it, you can use medi bang to edit each individual slide of the gif.

    On computer I know people use gimp and some other photoshop apps.
