Dear players,

Finally! We have a date! The new awesome update for Youtubers Life will be available soon and you'll be able to enjoy all the improvements and new features on the game we all love.

Stay tuned, we'll be unveiling more details the following weeks.

Dear Youtubers,

Hello! Long time no see.

After a much-needed break from developing Youtubers Life, we are getting ready to show some love to our beloved offspring again.

We understand it’s very difficult to accurately convey this feeling, but had we kept working on this project, it would’ve been impossible to give our best. Now, we believe it ’s time to give all our fans what you deserve.

Youtubers Life is being deeply reworked. The Game Design and Programming teams are working together to shape and polish your favourite features, improve the ones that troubled you the most and even remove tedious tasks. We’ve been gathering constructive feedback from your comments, reviews and Steam Community Posts, and this is the blueprint for the elements that will be added and/or reworked:

• GUI will be revamped. Lots of cosmetic and functional improvements
  
• New redesigned fancy cards, and new mechanics for the cards game
  
• Improved deeper subs morale system that adds social network interactions and public presence in events to the formula
  
• New social network interaction, deeper and more realistic social network to communicate with your followers
  
• NPC Quest givers, now you can get new missions and assignments in events while interacting with people
  
• Network system rework: new assignment market, improved network events and changes in requirements
  
• Game re-balance, moving houses objectives will be changed
  
• New video comments system, now you can spend some time answering the comments in your videos and getting some clues about what your followers like most
  
• Besides mouse control you will be able to play the game with gamepad controls, so you can play it while laying on the couch
  
• Commission video assignments to collaborators, a convenient mini-feature to speed up workflow
  
• We’ve added a new quest log screen to get more info about it
  
• General usability improvements

Some examples of our work in progress:







These are the main features on the table, but it’s still an alive project and there might be more changes added on the fly if we feel that it’s needed. We’ll keep you updated on what’s going on.

When?
Now, on dates: you know we’re an indie studio so speed is not on our side. We know you’ve shown infinite patience, but in order to do this the right way, we can’t rush it! Expect this update by end of 2018, but never before it’s ready and we’re completely satisfied with what we’ve got.

But there is more…

There’s a new channel coming!
The three existing channels will get a new addition. More info on the all-new fourth channel very soon, as we’re currently shaping its design. The new channel follows a different schedule and it will be released after the update is out and stable.

Price?
We said update! This will definitely be free content for all the owners of Youtubers Life

Dear Players,

Here are your #YachtChallenge winners!

Congratulations to Marissi, Lucas, Crazy Neith, Baptippo and MaaRiia... You're now part of Youtubers Life forever!
Go find the new characters in-game and talk to them, they'll surely have something interesting to say!

The wardrobe
We have updated the tooltip to clearly state which clothes you should be wearing to each event. Let us know how you're finding the new system behaviour.

Also, as always, there were other minor bug fixes that should make the game more and more enjoyable.

Kind regards,

The U-Play Online Team.

Dear players,

We keep on improving Youtubers Life and today we're releasing a new build which features several minor bug fixes, mostly visual:

• There was a bug where changing the selected language didn't work properly.
  
• Fixed the visibility or several textures which were displayed with a darker tone than intended.
  
• The input bug where joysticks, steering wheels, etc, messed with the mouse clicks has been fixed and everything behaves as expected now.
  
• Several GUI touch-ups. There were texts that didn't fit properly in their boxes.

As always, you're more than welcome to come join our forums:

Happy playing!

Dear players,

We promised to support Linux once Youtubers Life got out of Early Access and here it is! Our penguin-OS fans can enjoy Youtubers Life too.

Input bug fix
Those of you who have been following this past 9 months of development, know that we've had a bug where joysticks, steering wheels, racing pedals, etc. messed up with Youtubers Life input commands and the game picked up the wrong clicks from the mouse.
We need your help, though, so if you've experienced this issue in the past and worked around it by unplugging those input peripherals when playing Youtubers Life, please try again and write some feedback in the bug reporting forum:


As always, thanks for helping making Youtubers Life a great game!

Current development
At the moment we're working on increasing the supported range of resolutions but we're running into some issues, that's why it didn't get included in this update.
We'll try to bring support for ultrawide setups in the near future. Keep tuned for more news.

Happy gaming!

Kind regards,
The U-Play Online Team
