Hello everyone!

After months of development, testing, feedback and polishing, we're excited to finally share the release date of Polytoria 2.0:

Polytoria 2.0 Early Access launches on May 8th!

2.0 is a huge step forward for Polytoria. It introduces a brand new client and creator, built from the ground up, forming the foundation for future updates and bringing many improvements for both players and creators.

What does Early Access mean?

When 2.0 releases on May 8th, it will release as Early Access. This means that it will be available for everyone to use, but it won't replace 1.0 just yet. Both the current 1.0 and the new 2.0 client will be available alongside each other for at least a year. This gives everyone time to adapt their worlds to while we continue improving 2.0, fixing issues and polishing the experience to make sure everyone can move over at a comfortable pace.

2.0 is going open source

As we mentioned in our previous blog posts, Polytoria 2.0 will become open source when it releases. On May 8th, we will publish the source code and begin accepting community contributions. This includes the client, creator and server software, allowing developers in the community to inspect how things work, learn from the code and submit improvements to help shape the future of Polytoria. We'll be sharing more details about this soon!

What about mobile?

We know many of you are excited to play Polytoria on mobile. However, the mobile client will not be releasing on May 8th. Mobile support is still planned, but is outside the scope of the initial release. For now, our focus is on getting the desktop 2.0 client and creator in everyone's hands, and once it's in a stable state we'll continue work on bringing Polytoria to iOS and Android.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Open Beta during our anniversary week. Your bug reports and feedback have been incredibly helpful. We can't wait for all of you to start building and playing when Polytoria 2.0 launches on May 8th.

Until then!!
~ The Polytoria Development Team
