[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

Why aren't the avatar changes written in the dev's corner? I liked the old change log where we'd actually get information and specifics on the changes that were being made. When we could even vote on them. Something this big, that's been part of the system forever, should especially be written in. It's not like people weren't going to notice, especially when it makes some peoples avatars look weird.

Really not liking the avatar change at all. Half of my icon is now cut off default smiley :s.

Team pages also look weird, icons look as if they're out of alignment with rest of the page. Can this be sorted please?

Pleaseeee revert back to the old square avatar. Not only does this circular style look awful as it appears to be awkwardly placed, it's full of bugs. My avatar only appears to me if I click on my presentation page. Everywhere else, it’s the default rider head.
I don't work hard on hand creating every pixel for it to be awfully cropped like this.

Sincerely, a graphics artist.
The avatar change is awful, please change it back.

Also please, please make the quest box on Percival's page able to be minimised! I don't need to see that big chunk of information every time I visit his page.

This avatar change is awful. Completely unneeded and irrelevent and has ruined SO many individuals graphics.

I'm just glad that the sales searches now show up
In the corner where your avatar appears when you type a post, my avatar from about 2014 is appearing. I doubt it is a cache problem as I'm on a completely different device to the one I had back then so I'm just confused.

Same has happened to mine. Even as I'm typing this message my old avatar I've not used in months is showing on the left. NOT the one I have now. default smiley (8)

I hate this update...
Avatars were really better before this useless update...
Now, they are too small, we don't see anything on them

Avatars look so weird now, at least give people the option to either change it to circle or leave it as a square! They all look out of proportion on your page and in forums and I'd much prefer my squats avatar back.

Okay that’s weird. The preview before I send a message in a forum shows my old avatar, and once posted it’s blank. Refresh and now it’s a weirdly cut out version of my current one... sigh.

Ps sorry for double post

I don’t know what happened if the horse sale updates some how affected the avatars but could you get that fixed soon default smiley :)default smiley (l)
ok I get how circles are cute and tidy and all that, but can we at least represent ourselves using avatars of different sizes? default smiley (lol) I don't even think mine is showing?
