Performance and bottlenecks
Some of you told me that even with good computers there are framedrops and I have checked everything out to see what is causing the issue.
It is nothing that is graphics related this is very clear by all of my tests.
Here are the bottlenecks to get you informed where I will do my focus next:
- The AI is causing a huge impact and I have to do some reworking there
- When the player is moving, frames also drop a bit
Not much but a huge impact is coming from those things and I will work on them now.
Have a nice weekend and we see us in the next update :D
Dirext X11 issues finally fixed
The Direct X11 error is finally fixed and you can play as usual.

The development continues
a month is behind after the last info that I stop development on Re.Poly. A lot of you were sad about it and I can understand that. The last month showed me that making this decision was a big mistake because 2 days after the post I was working again because i missed it. So the problem was not the project. The problem was my mentality about it. I was not good to myself in the last years and I realized that. So I started to be better to myself and I noticed I was more stable.
That means I will go back to the project and work on it again. Slower, but I work on it. That means updates will be posted as soon as there is something to add/update
I hope it is fine for all of you that I will do it this way.
Thank you all for your words you have send to me in the last month and for your support.
The End of Re.Poly
I am very sad to tell you that I am not able to finish the work I have started 5 years ago.
It was a hell of a journey and as old time players may know I did running in circles all the time.
I changed the map 4 times, changed systems forward and backward just to do "something" but not finishing the game and do the right thing.
I was lost most of the time.
As a single developer I can say: Never start something that is too big for you and I can tell that this project is much too big for me alone. It is sad but true.
The game will be removed. I don't know when but it is in the hands of steam to do it.
I am really sorry for all the hope I fired in you and I can understand if people do not like it but I have to do it. I have to quit.
It was my baby that I wanted to raise but I simply was not strong enought for it.
A hard step for me, but it is neccessary for my mental health to quit before I get broke.
Again: Sorry for dissappointing you
Re.Poly Version 0.8.0 info
I know it seems very quiet here but I am doing a lot of changes for the game.
I can not tell you about all the changes yet because I want to surprise you and I hope you all will like it.
Since I hate doing something that is on the market a hundred times I have decided to go over the consept of the game again.
No worries, it will still be a survival adventure game but it will be a bit different.
This will take time but I am still working on the game every day.
I can not tell you how long it will take but I planned to leave the early access this year.
So I will stop playing around and change the game into something great.
Stay tuned for the next update and keep posting bugs on discord or the ingame reporting system.
They will be heard and fixed.
So we hear eachother when the next update is ready to go :)
A week delay
I guess some of you noticed it but to inform all of you I do this post.
The update will be delayed for one week. Means the next update will be live at this friday.
Sorry that I have to delay it but It took much longer as I thought and I don't want to push out an update that is unfinished.
I hope you can understand this.
