Classic icons, a new horse page and much more
A lot went live since the last news, again many of them from your suggestions. Thank you, and keep them coming on the help line or in the chat.
For those who miss the old look: Settings now has a Classic icons option. It brings back the original 2008 icons, the bottom bar buttons included. They are kept exactly as they were and won't get new drawings, but they are there if you prefer them.
Everyone else gets more of the painted icons: the horse page buttons, care and treats, the stable and barn, jobs, arena, friends, the post office, the games, home and token pictures, the small round buttons, and now the workshop's intermediary items and tools.
Horse page:
- Two tabs, Records and Duties, instead of nine. Skills, results, pedigree, offspring and the rest are buttons under Records, and Care, Tack and Records each have their own row of larger buttons.
- A Health entry under Actions shows the shots, check-up and breeding check with the vet buttons, like 2008's Horse Health (~Royalty Stag Tack~).
- With several stables, the stable tab is a stable chooser (~AngelsKiss~), and the stable name in the info list links back to that stable (Shades of Grey Stables).
- An accepted friend can feed, water, treat, groom and pat your horses again with their own supplies, as in 2008.
Market and magic shop:
- Cheap magic items such as the mirror of insight can be bought several at a time, up to 20.
- Filter your market history by player or by item, straight from a friend's row (Mindless Tack). The history also opens much faster.
- A pregnant mare can be sold or traded again; the foal is born to whoever owns her then (~AngelsKiss~).
- A double click on Buy no longer buys two lots.
- The daily allowance at base price is per item: 500 iron and wood, 50 of the other materials, 10 of each treat and feed.
Shows and workshop:
- When tack stops an entry, a popup says why, with a Change tack button (~Supernatural Stables~).
- Tack wears at the 2008 rate again when you enter several shows at once (Patchwork Dreaming and others).
- The Materials, Items, Tack and Tools pages of the workshop show each thing as a card: how many you have, what it is used for, and a Buy button for a missing tool.
- A shape calculator on the Tack tab shows the percent a piece would get from your items and skill (Mindless Dreaming).
- The racing, jumper, western, english and standard tack each have their own pictures.
Around the game:
- Chat: words like barn, workshop, market or news in a message link to that part of the game.
- Post office: the signature opens over the page, as in 2008, and Send package shows a small picture of each horse.
- Partners is one page of cards that explains what a partner is.
- The clinic and stable hand open their statistics and schedules over the page, and the stable Tools tab opens over the stable.
- Games: the Info button shows the rules over the game.
- Magic rewards show what the next levels bring (Briarcrest Equine Co.).
- Your assistant can wear one of four new faces: Portrait in its dock menu (Mindless Dreaming).
On the phone: the tab bar and the market tabs stay in place when you pick one (twenty one pilots), icons fill their buttons, the horse page shows the worn tack, entering a show shows the horse's happiness (Briarcrest Equine Co.), and a Phone tab in the chat collects tips for the app.
