Getting started in Yudum World

How to enter the world, walk and talk; what the buttons on the screen do.

Yudum World is our chat with a place of its own. The square is the chat itself: everything you say in the world goes to the chat, and people writing from the webchat see it too. It is not a separate game; same chat, same people.

The Highland Square: the hearth and Dede Korkut in the middle, the radio hut, coffeehouse, neighbourhood, contest tent, cinema and kiosk around it

Enter the world

  • In the chat, press the ๐Ÿ” button on the top bar. Registered members land on the square; if the setting is on, you open straight into the square when you log in.
  • On your first visit Dede Korkut greets you with four cards: the hearth, your tribe, your path and "the word is yours". You make your character between the cards.
  • Guests can watch the square for a while. To walk around and talk, all you need is a free account.

What is on the screen?

  • Top left: where you are and how many people are there; below it your own name and avatar.
  • Top strip: Feed (latest posts), Events (network announcements, films, DJ), Statuses; on the right the people list ๐Ÿ‘ฅ, radio ๐Ÿ“ป, Menu and "Classic chat".
  • Bottom left: the chat window. Use the tabs to switch between "All", the room you are in and other rooms; "Minimise" gives the map more room.
  • Bottom right: moves (wave, dance, tea, laugh, sitโ€ฆ) and + to share; zoom on the right edge.

Walk, talk, say hello

  • Click a spot on the map and your character walks there. Click a door or a house to go in or open its window.
  • What you type in the chat box appears as a bubble over your head; people further away read it too.
  • Click someone to open their profile card: messages, friendship, follow and moves to send them are there. Right-click (long-press on a phone) opens their menu.
  • Hover over anything to see what it is.

Back to classic chat

"Classic chat" at the top right takes you to the screen you know. Both are the same room; whichever you type in, everyone sees it. Press ๐Ÿ” to come back any time.

Who do I ask?

Dede Korkut by the hearth tells you about the Highland and what you can do; for rules and help, visit the Watchman. All the villagers are on the Villagers page.
