New Features

[Midjiwan]

We just started porting Polytopia from mobile to desktop and we want to do it really well. That is why I want to know what specific features Polytopia on Desktop should have to make it a really great gaming experience?
(If you have never played Polytopia you can try it for free on the iOS app store or Google Play)

Also, maybe a way to link tribes from mobile to PC?

[۞PReTo۞]

I doubt they will sell separated tribes in the PC verison

Syncronizing tribes with mobile/PC woud be great, as we don't need to buy them again.
What i'd also like is Cross-Platform Play, to play on both mobile and PC in multiplayer.
I'd also like to see a version for Linux. I really perfer Linux, so i hope that is possible.

Larger map options and 'long-haul' game types that don't end after 30 turns, but perhaps 100; perhaps an account system so existing players can log in on PC and have their tribes imported to other platforms, though that may be a lot of extra work just for that; I don't play multiplayer, but a multi on PC can be different to on android and can give the game a huge boost in popularity.

I've always wished we had some non-hostile options with other tribes, such as establishing trade relationships or alliances, but that's a whole-game update, not a PC feature.
Perhaps the ability to rotate the map (sprites would rotate to face the player at all times, it'd be the map that turns), but that's mostly unnecessary and also may not be possible with how the game works.

Perhaps maps that aren't perfect 1:1 squares, and are irregular, also randomly or procedurally generated. You might end up with a map that has a bottleneck, or is hook-shaped, or anything else like that.
The map border/shape itself is what I'm talking about, but theoretically such borders will also exist with large mountain ranges and oceans.

Idk if anyone has said this for Seeds for maps!

Been a big fan of the game since it's app was young and had few tribes. I just learned you are working to put it on steam and it might be weird but I am proud of you. This game has been an amazing relaxing tool for me and inspired me to write a little fan-fic about the tribes who live there.

I'll definetly be buying it on here as well when it comes out and I think it would be best to release all the 'normal' tribes at least with the purchasing of the game. That will definetly encourage more people to buy it over selling the tribes individually. You can always keep the 3(currently 2) special tribes as individual purchases and maybe make a bundle purchase for all 3 once the third one is finished up.

As other's have said I think looking into larger maps would help make the game a lot more interesting, expecially if you can find a way to let other players ally each other or ally the AI.

Another big addition to the game you might want to consider is a map-editor and a way to share maps, although that will mean you(or someone else) will have to manage that for the long-term at least.

And finally I'll ask for some sort of economy, perhaps the Custom Houses will create their own 'trade-routes' to other Custom Houses built on the map as long as that AI has a positive relation(or neutral with no recent attacks or border intrusions) with the player.
You could allow this trade system between players as long as they haven't attacked each other for 2-turns(example) and want to do so.
Maybe also throw in a Draw option where everyone agrees to end the game without anyone winning.

Oh, also maybe an in-game chat system even if it's pre-written messages you can send to one another or something of that like. I enjoy playing with others on mobile but sometimes I wish I could just send a quick message to a player about a strategy or plan.

Really Great job i love this game alot started playing on android by far one of the best in the play store. Cant wait for desktop version, the only thing i ask is to be able to transfer your mobile account to desktop because i plan on spending a decent amount of money on this game. one more thing i must add please add things such as new texture sort of packs to change the look of the overall map

[LinuxHoni]

Linux please!!!
I love this game. Bought all Tribes on the phone and I was so excited when I saw it come out on steam. I am a 100% Linux gamer and it would be awesome if you could please make it natively available for Linux :-) I will buy all the content again if I can play it on Linux.

[evilny0]

LInux indeed. I would also be interested in a Linux port.

[Houtworm]

I see Lots of great Ideas here, I think the more is implemented the more replay value the game is going to have :)

But Linux Is also #1 on my list, Should not be hard, just try to keep Linux in mind from the start :)

[LinuxGamer1920(AR)]

Dear Polytopia Developers,

I love the game concept and visuals, and I was wondering if you would consider porting your game to Steam OS/Linux at some point after it was realsed? As you are already working on a macOS port, it wouldn't be too difficult to make it also availbe for Steam OS/Linux.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wishing you the very best of luck and lots of success with your game!

First i mention linux, and then everyone wants it...
Wow...

[ANgR_Ace]

I would love it when the game was released we can purchase bundles of the dlc tribes for free

I just wanted to know, what method did you use to make the random landscapes and how what was it?

[dzuz]

such a random game should not be on Steam ... balance it
