It may even become possible for players to create and upload their own wedding venues.[/p][p]* A legacy carryover system of Elona is under consideration but would be a long-term update. Rather than passing down genes with your spouse, the idea is for the two of you to cultivate the world’s seeds and saplings together—allowing the world itself (maps and residents you created) to carry over.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p]Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.[/p][p][/p][p]Following our inaugural issue, we are happy to say that the January issue was read by many of you as well.[/p][p]This month, we'd like to share new information about Elin sent in from all over Ylva.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the February issue of "Elin State of the Game," out on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. This month, we're packing in the extra nyan nyan nyans![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Check it all out![/h3][p][/p][p]With the arrival of the new year last month, it seems like New Year's themed items are starting to appear all over North Tyris.[/p][p]"Fake Objects" have also been discovered, which will be revolutionary for adventurers who want to build their bases with particular care. If you go through the Moon Gate, you might be surprised by sights more elaborate than ever before![/p][p][/p][p](For details on all updates, see Ylvapedia)[/p][p][/p][h3]New Year's Symbols[/h3][p][/p][p]In the villages of Mifu and Nefu, the custom of New Year's decorations was passed down.[/p][p]One example is this gate pine. It is made from bamboo and pine, and its purpose is to welcome into the home the gods believed to dwell within the trees. Following this ancient custom, you might place one at the entrance to your base.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]A New Threat Lurking in Nefia[/h3][p][/p][p]Recently, rumors of a new monster have been spreading among adventurers. Many stories involve people being suddenly attacked by a treasure chest. Adventurers who let their guard down have been left with painful bite marks on their arms. Be vigilant when exploring![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]A New Companion for Base Building: Fake Objects[/h3][p][/p][p]Good news for discerning base-building enthusiasts! These Fake Objects allow you to replicate the appearance of even non-portable objects. Create lush forests and vast wheat fields to your heart's content.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Pull and Knock Back with Ease[/h3][p][/p][p]The Mages Guild has received information about a new spell: "Telekinesis." It can pull faraway objects closer and knock close objects away. Experienced adventurers may find unexpected uses for this spell.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The editorial team of "Elin State of the Game" has an announcement. Our editorial team's official X (formerly Twitter) account has been launched![/p][p]We plan to announce future issues of "Elin State of the Game" on this account. Please follow us![/p][p]Also, please note that we will also use this account to request permission to publish fan art, housing, and other works featured in our magazine from now on.[/p][p][/p][p]エリンだより (Elin State of the Game)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Next, we'd like to announce the launch of our reader submission form. The reader submission form is divided into two sections: general submissions and derivative works. Please use the appropriate form depending on the content of your submission.[/p][p][/p][p]The general submission form accepts submissions for the "Elin State of the Game" editorial team's letters section. We will accept a wide range of content, including impressions of "Elin State of the Game," questions for the development team, and announcements of upcoming Elin-related events.[/p][p][/p][p]The derivative works form accepts works created by adventurers themselves. Not all submitted works will be published, but if you'd like your work to be featured in the "Elin State of the Game" community news, we encourage you to apply. Until now, we've mainly featured illustrations, but we are now accepting works in a variety of formats, including music and video.[/p][p][/p][p]As in the past, we may contact you individually to ask for permission to publish works that have not been submitted through the submission form. We would greatly appreciate your kind cooperation if we contact you.[/p][p][/p][p]General Submissions Form[/p][p][/p][p]Derivative Works Form[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Do you like "Imouto"?[/h3][p][/p][p]The second installment of the Elin short video for Western audiences, introduced in the inaugural issue, is here. The big sisters are in high spirits again this time. The narrators are the little sisters (“imouto”) familiar to adventurers.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Official Illustration Introduction ~ Lumiest Gallery[/h3][p][/p][p]We're introducing a new illustration by Elin illustrator NZ. This time it's a Valentine's Day illustration.[/p][p]Ornev, who has lived through the ages, has an extraordinarily large love even for humans.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Official Music Introduction ~ Palmia Records[/h3][p][/p][p]Next up is a new song by Elin composer NINO. It's a hymn to Opatos of Earth, Ylva's most ancient god.[/p][p][/p][p]It's said that Opatos, born deep beneath the earth, heard a lullaby while he slumbered. It was a procession of animals coming to comfort the spirits of their companions residing in the mountains. As it was passed down through the generations of bards, it eventually evolved into a song praising Opatos.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]With this release, nine deities in the Hymns of the Gods series have now been unveiled. As for gods who can be chosen as objects of worship, only one remains: Itzpalt of Element.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We'd like to highlight a small selection of the activities and works by adventurers who are making the Elin community even more exciting. If any creator names are incorrect, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]“A Snow Putit with beans buried in its fur that have sprouted” by mahipipa[/p][p][/p][p]“Gaki frightened by the Setsubun beans” by Gae[/p][p][/p][p]“Imouto and Snow Putit” by Dzen[/p][p][/p][p]“Snow attire Wini” by Samu[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]“Snow attire Ashland” by Mio[/p][p][/p][p]“Lulwy of Wind and Black Angel” by Tokunaga[/p][p][/p][p]“Fallen Angel Iska” by Takiyama[/p][p][/p][p]“Imotos” by 96soya🪿宗也[/p][p][/p][p]“Lulwy, Mani and Kettle” by Ricky[/p][p][/p][p]“The Phantom Sky-blue Tulip Song” by Shounen Lucie[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Housing is life. In fact, it's deeper than life itself. For the final installment of this issue as well, we'll be showcasing player bases that combine beauty and madness, a true testament to obsession.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]“Former church” by nasma[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hello everyone, this is noa.[/p][p][/p][p]Last month, I was tinkering with a tool called AntiGravity. It's a tool that lets an AI agent create games and apps on the fly. It can create code that would normally take months, like a Minecraft-style game or mahjong, in just a few hours. It was quite impressive.[/p][p][/p][p]For Elin, I've written roughly 250,000 lines and nearly 10 million characters of code. I've felt a sense of accomplishment just seeing the code grow, but now, if I just wanted to fill in the gaps, the AI ​​could probably write it in a day (although, of course, I doubt it would build (laughs)). I think that in a few years, if you asked an AI to "make a game like Elin," they'd be able to create something that was reasonably playable.[/p][p][/p][p]So, while I was busy making my agent work like a mule, I was thinking about the future of Elin and AI.[/p][p][/p][p]Personally, I enjoy playing with AI, and I'm excited about its new possibilities. However, I think that's separate from the direction of my work.[/p][p][/p][p]Originally, the artist NZ had decided not to use AI-generated content in Elin. I want to cherish the handmade feel of the work and fan-created works, so I am not currently thinking about using AI code in Elin.[/p][p]

[p][/p][p]Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.[/p][p][/p][p]We'd like to express our gratitude once again to the many people who read our recent December issue and for the warm response we received.[/p][p]This month, we've been receiving new Elin-related news from all over Ylva.[/p][p] [/p][p]As always on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), the January issue of "Elin State of the Game" is out. We hope you enjoy it at your leisure, perhaps with a hot drink in hand![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Check it all out![/h3][p][/p][p]First, let's review last month's stable update.[/p][p][/p][p]The December update introduced a lot of content related to the latest episode of the Home Quest, "Into the Darkness." The previously inaccessible "Crypt of the Damned" has been opened up, and elements that will be familiar to Elona players, such as the "★Staff of Insanity," have also been added.[/p][p][/p][p]This marks the finale of the Home Quest, "Into the Darkness." How will it all end, and in what form will the NPCs and artifacts from Elona make their appearance? We hope our fellow adventurers will see it through with us until the very end![/p][p][/p][p](For details on all updates, see Ylvapedia)[/p][p][/p][h3]An ASMR which gently envelops the Holy Night Festival[/h3][p][/p][p]The decorations for the Holy Night Festival, held every December at Noyel, have been enhanced with more spectacular additions. Many decorative items have been added, including 18 varieties of Juremas balls and two types of candy sticks. By using these items effectively when decorating, you'll be able to create an even more spectacular party venue than ever before.[/p][p][/p][p]During the Holy Night Festival, a faint ASMR can be heard somewhere within the church, blending in with the gorgeous decorations...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Vampire Update[/h3][p][/p][p]Updates have also been made to the new Vampire race. Overall, their "strong at night, weak during the day" characteristics seem even more pronounced.[/p][p][/p][p]They can no longer hope to fight effectively in their weak bat form, and if they transform in the middle of town, citizens will no longer hesitate to call the guards.[/p][p][/p][p]Also, if you're a Vampire, NPCs you befriend will now pour ketchup on your "Love Fueled Lunch Box." Vampire adventurers can now enjoy homemade lunch boxes smothered in blood (ketchup).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Winter Outfits[/h3][p][/p][p]Some characters now have outfits appropriate for the bitterly cold North Tyris.

If you haven't read them yet, be sure to visit Moir in the Traveler's Anchorage.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Now Accepting ASMR Entries[/h3][p][/p][p]With the release of the new "ASMR Player" item, we're now accepting submissions for ASMR![/p][p]Imagine if a certain character recorded an ASMR audio clip.

The second issue of Elin State of the Game is here![/p][p] [/p][p]Last month, as a first step in enhancing the mod functionality, I performed my first ever "puru puru merge" (editor's note: merging a pull request while shaking) on ​​GitHub with the help of DK, who I've been relying on for a while. I've never collaborated on a program before, so I'm looking forward to doing all sorts of things from now on.[/p][p] [/p][p]Also, composer NINO will officially be joining the Elin development team this year. We will have NINO support Elin's growth in areas other than music as well, such as the Elin State of the Game column, official radio, and in many other ways.[/p][p] [/p][p]With that, we look forward to your continued support this year as well, on behalf of Elin and everyone involved. Thank you![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
