Hello! Yes, I'm still developing stuff! Here's a quick rundown of what's happened and what's happening next...

NEW PROJECT

I have been working on a new project since December, which will be revealed in the coming months on my new website. In summary it is a top-down shooter, it has been fun to make but I am now in the last few hurdles of development.

POLY TOWNS 3.0

I felt Poly Towns needed a bit more love, after being available for just over 2 years now! I'm currently working on an update that improves a number of things like... improved visuals, improved UI, better villagers, support for DX12, fixes and performance improvements. Poly Towns will also be available on Mac OS X and Linux Operating Systems when the new update hits.
Thank you, everyone, for the support. Matthew Red Phoenix Studios

What is Poly Towns?

Poly Towns is a small town builder. Start with a single town zone (the map is divided into "zones"), then expand into a larger town managing your resources along the way. Upgrade your houses and resource buildings to maintain your town.

What do you do?

The game is fairly simple, you start by building a few houses and resource buildings. You then must assign villagers to these resource buildings in order to get the resources. Tax, building upkeep and food consumption are updated every 10 seconds. Build up your resources and expand your town into new zones, as well as upgrading existing buildings. Once you are happy with your town, you can choose to start a new one or sit back and relax your existing town thrive.

What's the challenge?

In a sense, the game can be unforgiving. If your villagers are at 0% happiness, game over, you have to restart. Another way of failing the game is by having no money and a negative income, because you can no longer buy anything. If for example you have 0 coins, but a positive income, you can bounce back!
