Overview
Welcome To The Poly 0.6 Update, development went cold for a few months, I decided to focus a lot on my university work however we are so back baby!
Ive had alot to ponder about where I should take this game, and a lot of you shared valuable feedback in the form of reviews on the steam page!
This update was the culmination of the communities great ideas to improve on the game's mechanics to make it more fun, and the weird ideas I've had while awake at 2am for no good reason, no matter how these ideas came to fruition, they've been added and are making the game more interesting to play!
If any of you have ideas for items from now on, I would highly encourage you to share ideas in Poly’s steam community page, I will do my best to read your ideas and implement them.
