Re.Poly
Upcomming Update at the end of May
I know it is being qiet here but no worries. I am still working on the game.
My plan is zu finish the basic map work like caves and biomes to finally implement places to explore and a lot of more stuff + mechanics.
So do not worry that the game is dead. It is and will be more alive than before :)
Back to the older Version
Implementing the voxel system seems to be a thing one man should not work on.
Every time I fix something 2 other issues will follow and I feel like I am loosing time in a never ending loop. So I decided to roll back to the version before the voxel mess and keep working further on this version.
This means the next updates will be content updates and map editing will be gone. But it means your current savegames will not work properly.... Again. Sorry about that and sorry to the people that bought the game just because voxel based maps were in the game.
I hope you can understand the descision. I want to provide a working game and not something that constantly crashes.
More than a little mess
I am really sorry that I could not do better in all the time it needed but no worries. I have a solution that will fix everything.
The descision to keep the old map was a bit of a romantic one but it was the wrong decision.
Learning from mistakes is a part of the life and I learned that lesson.
Next friday everything will be much better. Promised
Changing the world to a voxel world
As the title says I am currently working on a voxel based map that that is running with a random seed. This means you can set a seed to generate a procedural generated world.
Biomes will always have the same space in the world but the map will be different everytime you change the seed.
Additionally it will be possible to use tools to terraform the map.
Digging holes, mine into mountains, it will all be possible.
But this will take some more time.
So no worries because there are no updates every week at this moment.
I am working every day on the game as usual.
Stay tuned for the big update that will change the game to something I always wanted for it :)
Re.Poly Version 0.6.0
It is not 100% complete but it should work as it should. Lightning and a cooking station will be added in the next update because I guess the ship has to be tested before I add too much to it.
Some bugs were fixed too as always :)
And as always please send all bugs and issues ingame or via discord so I can fix everything :)
Have a nice weekend.

Huge Gamebreaking bug
I was hyped to post this update because it was planned to fix some bugs and bring some cool stuff into the game.
So hyped that I forgot a very important thing and this is the cause of this chaos.
