Poly Skies News

Hi all,

I am currently aware of a major issue that seems to only be affecting some MacOS devices, where when loading the game, the world generation does not work, resulting in no game to be had.

As a solo developer without a MacOS device, I am having to rely on third-party testing for this and so make take longer to fix than other issues.

I apologize for the trouble here. If you are using a MacOS device, I do recommend trying to demo firsthand to see if you get this bug. If you think you have any useful information that could help resolve the issue, please do get in touch.

Thank you,
Matt, Red Phoenix Studios.

Another patch has been pushed, if you experience any bugs please report on the discussions board of my Discord. The demo version of the game has also been updated with all recent fixes.

ADDED:
- Support for DX12 on Windows (experimental)
- DisplayP3 support for MacOS

CHANGED:
- Lanterns now stagger on/off
- Game window now resizable

Thanks.
Matthew, Red Phoenix Studios.

[h2]Why now?[/h2]
The Steam Base Builder Fest is now underway and I thought this would be a great time to release alongside it. I have also created a bundle that included the prequel, Poly Towns, for a 15% discount when buying as a bundle.

[h2]What's next?[/h2]
Content and bug fixes, these are both my top priority right now. I didn't have time to implement every feature I have on my TODO list. I will create a pinned discussion to show and keep track of what content is upcoming.

As always, please leave feedback in the discussion area or on my Discord. I am always happy to listen and help. I am a one man development team, it gives me great joy to make games and hear what you think!

Matt.
