Polylithic - 6 Months after Release
Half a year has passed since our game was released in Early Access, and as you might have noticed, we have been pretty busy improving and expanding it based on your suggestions and following our timeline.
Get the Polylithic Early Access
Without going into the details, we released over 30 updates since the release. Fixing a lot of things while adding new content and features. You can always read the release notes in the game menu or our Discord for more information. The most significant updates were:
Sandbox Mode
We added a new Sandbox Mode with an automatically generated map and content, so now you can experience prehistoric ages with infinite fun without all those story quests. On top of it, there is a Creative mode where you can try all the new stuff we are adding to a game.
2nd Era
We also started working on the 2nd era. We added a custom modular system for buildings and enclosures for animals with physics and cool interactions, along with some interior pieces like shelves, chairs, tables, decorations, and more. We are still working on taming, breeding, and farming mechanics that should arrive soon.
Quests
New fascinating questlines with quirky new characters expanding our multiverse arrived in the campaign. Did I say you can now tame a prehistoric wolf and use it as a companion or help to build the first bicycle?
Some other big thighs were:
Multiple language support
Improve the fight mechanics and weapons
Multiple graphical controls and game settings
Graphical optimization
New character and animal models
New VFX and interactions
UI elements
Robust autosave and save mechanics
And some easter eggs, for sure!
Future
As for the near future, we are planning to add a new campaign for the 2nd era with an interesting new set of characters and a detective story that will teach you new farming mechanics. We also started preparing new biomes and seasons for you to explore. Yeah, and mushrooms. We will have to do something about those mushrooms everywhere. But dont worry, we have some ideas for that as well.
Sounds good? Please share your thoughts with us using our Discord or Steam Community forum.
