Hey Polytopians!

We’re back with a brand new major beta update for you, the aptly named “Path of the Ocean” (formerly known as “the Naval Rework”)! We’ve taken some time to pretty much fully rework how the naval game is played, adding new units, mechanics, and poking everything that merely looks at the water! Battleship Spam™ is dumb, and we can promise you that it’s now a thing of the past!
To keep things simple and quick on our side, the beta test will only be available on Steam, and you can find instructions on how to join the beta at the bottom of this post.

We’ll be laying out this post like this:
  1. Tech Tree Changes[//]

You need Sailing before they can go on Ocean tiles. It's always been like that.

Yes, that's the case.

No, we don't have any plans to change it.

Live Games are designed to keep games short. You can't turn off the timer, as that'd defeat the purpose.

You may want to play 24 hour games instead.

We are looking into this and are aware that the Steam deck's interface may need some adjustment.

We have come across some very unique bags from the Quetzali artisans. These are vintage items that can rarely be found on the Square, and they've been made specially for us humans to enjoy! You probably couldn't fit an ostrich in them, but don't worry, there's plenty of room for corn. :)

Only a limited number of these exist, so hurry to get yours at http://shop.midjiwan.com.

Any new info on this? Thanks!
We're pretty sure that we fixed the Steam Deck's compatibility a while ago. The control scheme should be improved.

Anzala's followers care about one thing, and that's unfettered expression. Spontaneous interpretive dance, bathtubs of multicolor paint, and poetry that doesn't rhyme are all things you can expect to see in their territory, and they're not going to let you tell them to stop.

This skin for the Zebasi, and the other 2 skins, will be arriving on June 28th!

Come wishlist it now!
