v0.5.5 - Linux, Mac, and Localization

[img=http://i.imgur.com/r2PZDbs.gif] We have finally updated the Mac build from an ancient version, and added a new Linux build. We haven't tested the Linux build over too many OS's yet, but its working on the ones we tested on so thought it would be good to get it out there. There is a megathread for Linux issues here. After a lot of testing and community help, we now have a robust translation system! A shoutout to some of the community members who helped us by doing some translations: Skexer, ikkiyakki, Joseahfer, and Keo. We plan on expanding the translation system to include a ton of languages, if you are interested in helping translate Polyball please email admin@studiomonolith.ca. We've also got a bunch of small yet important changes in here, notably the Frame Limit option and keybinding system. And last but not least I am going to shamelessly plug our Twitter, go and give us a follow if you want to know about any future projects or updates!

Full Changelog


  • Added Linux build
  • Finally updated Mac build
  • Added translation system, this is a test run with a few languages and we will be refining it in the coming weeks - please report any bugs you run into if you try it!
  • Added option to turn off grain. Grain was added to reduce color banding, however the default Unity grain is surprisingly demanding so we will be looking into alternatives
  • New water technique
  • Added frame limit setting, Unity has a way of trying to draw unlimited frames and making computers really hot. This setting allows you to cap your frame rate anywhere between 15 and 300 fps.
  • Added rough keybinding system
  • Fixed weird keybindings on start level/next level/restart in-game UI
  • Increased speed of finish screen drawing
  • Increased speed of level intro drawing
  • Increased weight of text on intro/finish screen so they aren’t as hard to read
  • Re-enabled ghost names in game
  • Made trophies more gold less black
  • Fixed inaccessible trophy on two levels
  • Upgraded Steamworks
  • Upgraded audio engine

  • GET READY TO ENTER A NEW ERA OF PHYSICS PLATFORMING

    Polyball is a modern take on classic ball rolling games such as Super Monkey Ball, Marble Madness, and Marble Blast - while taking cues from games such as the Sonic series, Trials, and Mario Kart.

    A BIT ABOUT US...

    The first full release from digital design practice Studio Monolith, Polyball is an experiment in low-poly visuals and open-ended game design. Our approach with the project was to make the kind of game we used to play, something that had both casual appeal and a limitless competitive ceiling. It was also a genre that we felt hasn't been adequately adapted to the modern world of game design. Our vision was simple: build a game that's easy to pick up, hard to master, and fun both on and off screen.

    ...AND A BIT ABOUT POLYBALL

    There's a lot to do in Polyball -- Challenge yourself or a friend to one of over 60 levels included in the initial release, with plans for many more levels via free DLC. If you've got some friends over and are looking for something to play, Polyball's splitscreen multiplayer promises a good time. With classic modes like Battle and Circuit Race, as well as a multiplayer version of the single-player experience, Polyball promises to be a must-have party game.

    CASUAL, COMPETITIVE, OR BOTH

    With global leaderboards built right into the level select menu and pregame screen, you can see where you stand among the worlds best and race against their ghosts. If you're more interested in beating your friends, check out the friends-only leaderboards. Collecting shards during your single-player journey will unlock a vast array of customization options, from different ball models to particle effects. This customization carries over into online multiplayer matches as well as your high-score ghost, with local multiplayer having its own version of the customization system designed for split-screen play.

    FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE

    If you've mastered every challenge we put into the game, take a look at the Steam Workshop content to face a whole new set of challenges. Community made content, from multiplayer battle maps and circuit tracks to customization options and single-player levels, will bridge the gap between developer and player as well as provide a steady stream of new content for you to experience. Steam Workshop gives the players a voice, allowing for the mechanics and level designs of Polyball to stretch far beyond what we had initially put into the game.
