Upgrading Our Foundation to Build a Better YoWorld
Hello, incredible members of our YoWorld community!
Following the wonderful response to our first post, we want to start by saying thank you. Your support has been phenomenal, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have such a dedicated and loving community of fans.
After reading through all your amazing feedback, two themes consistently emerged: concerns around game stability and a strong desire for fresh and exciting new content. Processing this information made one thing crystal clear: to deliver on these initiatives, we must focus on solving the critical issue of Game Stability by rebuilding the game’s foundation on a modern platform.
We know this community thrives on fun, connection, and creativity, but our current technical foundation is struggling. Many players experience slow performance, freezing, and login delays—and that is a major problem we are absolutely committed to solving.
Why We Need a Stronger Core
Game stability issues are something we’ve battled tirelessly for many years, but our aging foundation makes that battle slow and ineffective. Similarly, expanding the game with new features is significantly more difficult due to the antiquated platform it’s built on. Your feedback confirmed that for YoWorld to truly thrive, we need to address this head-on and invest in building a new foundation on a new platform.
When YoWorld was first created, the core structure of the game was designed for a different era of the internet. In fact, that original foundation was built all the way back in 2008! Since then, we have seen huge technological advancements in both game development and the way websites and web services function.
We’ve done our best over the years to find ways to work around these limitations, but to truly fix these slowdowns and make the game stronger, faster, and more fun for the future, we need to completely upgrade the very core of YoWorld.
As part of this massive effort, we are currently working to move the engine that runs YoWorld to a modern, state-of-the-art platform called Unity.
The Benefits You Will Feel Every Day
A new platform built on modern technology will allow us to finally address long-standing stability issues and rapidly develop new features that weren’t possible before. Without risking overpromising by sharing details too early, we are genuinely excited to bring to life many of the things you’ve wanted for a long time.
Our plan for YoWorld’s core upgrade is entirely focused on improving your daily experience. Having learned firsthand of the growing pains YoWorld has experienced over the years, our main focus today is to guarantee reliability and capacity for growth:
- Uninterrupted Fun. This new foundation is designed to provide reliability, meaning far fewer sudden interruptions (disconnects) and greater stability during prolonged periods of play - such as decorating the perfect room or customizing your avatar.
- Faster Performance. You will feel a noticeable improvement in game speed when you move around the world and interact with features.
- Flexibility for the Future. A stronger foundation means we can finally build the amazing new features—like bigger screens, more interactions, and expanded maps—you’ve been asking for without the old limitations getting in the way.
Thank you for allowing us to be transparent about this necessary process. We know this is a huge undertaking, but we know this upgrade will result in the stable, beautiful, and rewarding game you deserve.
