The Battle of Polytopia News

We have been getting many questions about when we will release the Steam version of The Battle of Polytopia, and some of you have probably even wondered if the Steam release will actually happen. The good news is that Steam will definitely happen, but we have decided to port the game to Unity first. This will give us the opportunity to release the game on even more platforms and plenty of other exciting stuff that we will announce later on.

The porting is currently going on at full speed and we are working hard to make sure that the game will be great on Windows & Mac OS X as well. This move to Unity is an important strategic decision that will enable us to grow The Battle of Polytopia at a much faster pace once the porting is complete. The Steam / Unity version is now scheduled for release during Spring 2020.

Hi All!

I just realized that it is already spring 2019 and Polytopia is not yet released. The truth is that I also realized that I am still practically a one man game studio and adding a new platform for me to manage, support and develop might be a really bad idea since it would eat up all the time I want to spend on making new tribes and Polytopia features.

Although, the steam version of Polytopia is quite close to completion and it is being beta tested as we speak. It is also a really great game and deserves to be released to you guys as soon as possible.

Hence I am currently looking into ways to release on Steam while still being able to spend time and love on further development of the current game.

So keep your faith and good things will come your way. Time is just an illusion anyways.

Love you all.

Sincerely
Midjiwan

I recently had the opportunity to show the game for a bunch of highly qualified judges at the PC indie Pitch hosted by Pocket Gamer.
I got a lot of great feedback and support that this game will work great as a fully fledged PC title. I also walked away with the gold medal! (it was actually a baseball bat, but 1st prize nevertheless)
