Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to share Elin-related news that have been sent in from all over Ylva this month as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the June issue of \u201cElin State of the Game,\u201d out on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. When the festival ends, summer arrives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Nyanth\u2019s Update<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Check it all out!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No new stable update has been released this month yet. So, we’ll be highlighting some features from the last stable update that we couldn’t cover, as well as some content from the Nightly version that’s currently under development.
(For details on all updates, see\u00a0Ylvapedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouch! It\u2019s piping hot!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s look at the previous stable version. You can now create floors of bubbling, boiling magma!
If used effectively, this might allow you to make maps that were previously difficult to recreate, such as castles floating on lava or magnificent volcanoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the walls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, in the Nightly version, races such as ghosts and phantoms can now pass through walls.
When exploring Nefia, be careful not to be ambushed from within the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready for summer vacation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A vehicle perfect for the hot season is being added to the raffle prizes!
Cross your fingers and try to win it so you can really get into the vacation spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cats! Cats! Cats!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good news for adventurers who want to bury their faces in soft cat fur and inhale the scent of bread or popcorn to their heart’s content: an incredibly massive cat has been discovered in North Tyris!
Several other new breeds of cats have also been confirmed. Just keep some Churyu stashed in your pocket, and the cats will come right to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumors of a priceless, shining, truly ultra-rare item<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whispers have begun to circulate among some adventurers about a new treasure: shoes that bring happiness to the wearer. Word is that they can be obtained, on extremely rare occasions, from an elusive, swift-fleeing monster. In fact, some even doubt if something so rare actually exists. But if you do manage to get your hands on them, you could say that happiness is already in your grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
