Re.Poly News

Hi there girls and guys. In this month update I could not fit the plan to implement the dragon mother event and the system to expand mount controls. The reason for that is the huge amount of bug reports that I got. I am happy about it because I have fixed so many bugs and even the dedicated server verson is working much better.

So I have to put the content I could not add this month to the next month update. Sorry about that but I want to have everything more stable before I put in more content.

The Update notes contains all the stuff that I do including the hotfixes posted this month. Have a nice day and I hope we meet us on the Discord server :)

Hi there girls and guys.

I just want to inform you that I made polls on the discord server that I use to decide which features
will be implemented into the game. This will give you the opportunity to have a great influence on what will happen.

Your voice is most important so I invite you to meet me there.

Have a nice weekend and thank you all for your great support :)

Hey there girls and guys.

In this update I replaced the old map with a complete new one. This one only has 3 biomes with future biomes to come.

This time caves are present and some places to explore and loot. Some of the places are only placeholders and will be changed in future updates but I had to block them to prevent you from building at this places and destroy your savegames.

A propos savegames: Yes I had to wipe your savegames because it is a complete new map and it had caused a lot of extreme errors and issues. So Yes, you have to start a new game. Sorry about that but it is neccessary.

To see what is planned this year just take a look on the roadmap here: Re.Poly Roadmap

I hope you like the update and I hope the performance boost that is present you will no longer have overheated graphics cards. :)
