POLYION 1.0 IS NOW FINALLY OUT!
Finally, after several years of Early Access and several months of continued development, Polyion is finally available today as a full release game. This has been a long journey, for both the game and me as a developer, there was a time when I didn't think this day would come... but now it has!
There is still a lot to do, I am sure once this gets into your hands new bugs or weird things will arise, but I will continue to release patches and new updates. Currently there is still several things planned for post-launch, including various changes, fixes and new content.
The gameplay has been re-worked and changed to not only be more engaging and fun for the player, but also to provide better quality of life (QOL) for the player too; This includes the building system, resource management, information for buildings and resources, menu navigation, tooltips/help pop-ups and more.
The visuals have been updated to provide more colour, consistency and contrast to the game.
UI is now more clear, text and icons provide the necessary information to the player, text no longer sits on semi-transparent backgrounds and the colour contrast of UI elements have been improved for better readability.
Multiple saves available and multiple islands, allowing for different town sizes and the ability to stop playing and return to your save whenever you want.
Firstly I want to say thank you to all the people who purchased the game back in 2022 in Early Access, I know it has been a long time, but I hope you enjoy this new version of Polyion.
Secondly, I want to talk about future content:
There WILL be post-launch content, what form this takes I am not 100% sure right now, but there is plans for additional content updates (new buildings, islands, animals, etc). As well as gameplay updates like updated weather systems that affect the world.
Updates will come in random waves as I figure out the best path forward for the game after today.
Controller and Steam Deck support will be coming at some point, I would hope before the end of the year, but it could be as late as early next year.
I would like to also add some additional languages to the game, with limited text in the game this shouldn't be too difficult, but it will entirely depend on the players and community who want or need additional language support.
Finally check out some screenshots below, these are also on the store page along with new information about the game and the requirements.
See you soon with more updates to Polyion and happy halloween!
