Music has always been a part of Polytopian life, but the first superstars were the Imperius Philharmonic Orchestra, who quickly attracted Imperius citizens from all over the Empire! Remember, any rumors that the Imperius government is using the shows to hypnotize their citizens into obedience are nonsense.

Hello Polytopians,

It's the Imperius Tribe Moon, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the organization of the Imperius, our favorite well-oiled empire!

In addition to releasing this new tribe as DLC, we’ve also improved the Philosophy technology to provide an even greater tech cost reduction!

Hey Polytopians,

Besides our normal holiday events, it’s the time for our yearly Concordance Day Celebration!

“What is Concordance Day?” is what you probably just asked yourself. Well, it’s a holiday celebrated on the Square by all of the Polytopians to commemorate a weeklong peace a really long time ago by their ancestors! In past years, we’ve taken this time to talk about the Ancients, the empire of the first Polytopians, and their Ancient Polytopian Civil War, and this year will be no different!



Much like last year, we’re going to hand you a blurb and you get to draw the picture to accompany it! Why would you want to do this? Because besides us sharing the winning artwork with the community, you’ll win a free copy of Polytopia on Steam (with DLC), limited edition stickers, free merchandise, and a secret. ;)

Without further ado, here is the blurb that should inspire you:

"Legends tell of Topan and Pol, who stepped out of the Moon and onto the Square to become the first Polytopians. As their descendants multiplied and spread across the land, they formed an empire which the tribes know now as ‘The Ancients.’ Here begins the story of the Ancient Polytopians."

Send your submissions to feedback@midjiwan.com, where they’ll be reviewed and the winner chosen by Midjiwan, himself!

The contest starts now and will end on January 7th at 7pm UTC, so make sure you have sent in your submissions for the contest before then. The winner will be announced on January 8th at 7pm UTC.

Hey Polytopians,

It’s that time of year again, a time of merriment, love, peace, and sweet deals! We’ve got some things planned for you this year, so let’s get right to it!

First, this is the beginning of the Steam Winter Sales! Both the game and it’s DLC are -35% off! Polytopia is the perfect gift for everyone in your life, and this is the best time to pick up a copy or any missing DLC for yourself or a friend! Nothing brings people together quite like the eternal warring between Polytopians. :)

We have noticed someone dressed as Santa appearing on the Square. Who knows what mischief they're up to?! Be careful out there!

The sale and the appearance of St. Nick will end on January 5th.

Happy Holidays, from all of us at Midjiwan!
