Hey everyone, we haven't posted updates in over a month, so I wanted to say a quick word that we're working and everything's going well for the upcoming closed demo of POLYARIS.

[*] Inspect item screen, where you can look at the item's model and read about it's properties. [*] Added a new ranged weapon - AK-47. When your weapon is close to an obstacle you are blocked from firing. [*] Added a new melee weapon - axe. It can be used to fight and also to harvest wood (TBD). [*] Added first enemy type - wolf. They will roam the arctic but will not be hostile to you unless they are hungry or you attack them first. (They can also eat your corpse). [*] A quest system is being developed, so that we could implement a story mode in the future.
