Allhallows is already in full swing, and November has arrived - it's time for the next Adventurer's Challenge! For all of November, the Grim Challenge lets you earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your own Pest Lizard. We've also introduced Adventurer's Tokens, which let you trade in unclaimed Avatar Ring unlock items for a selection of new rings. Read on for all the details!
Pestilential Prizes For Intrepid Adventurers
PEST LIZARD: This month, you'll have another chance to claim the Pest Lizard, a fast-moving mount with two different poison-based attacks that confuse and disorient enemies. (Note: while not officially Battle Mounts, Pest Lizards are not usable in GvGs.)
AVATAR RING: The Grim Challenge Avatar Ring gives your avatar a dark, creepy aura. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this exclusive avatar border for one character - and starting this month, unclaimed Avatar Ring unlocks can be traded in for Adventurer's Tokens (details below).
SEASONAL SPECIALS: Unlock Grim Challenge chests to get a mix of pestilential prizes. In addition to the regular goodies like Silver bags, Fame Tomes, and resources, you'll have a chance to get the Plague Doctor costume set and the Tomb of the Unknown and Memorial of the Fallen furniture items.
New This Month: Adventurer's Tokens
Since adventurers who took part in last year's Grim Challenge may have already unlocked this month's Avatar Ring, we've given all players the option to trade in Avatar Rings that have not yet been unlocked for Adventurer's Tokens at the Vanity Merchant. Here's how it works:
Players can now trade in Adventurer's Challenge avatar border unlock items at the Vanity Merchant to receive an Adventurer's Token
Each border gives one Adventurer's Token, which is bound to the same character
The first item available for tokens will be a new Adventurer's Avatar Border, which will cost 2 tokens and also be bound to your character
Additional new items purchasable for tokens will be introduced in the coming months
Log in, head out into the open world, and unlock these fabulous prizes - and don't forget about the week-long Fame Boost running November 4-11!
Re.Poly is in an really early state and have some major bugs, expecially in the multiplayer section. Because of this issues, and because the game is made for multiplayer, I decided to work more harder to figure out these problems and fix them. I don't want to release a game that is not working like it should.
I'm sorry to delay the release by two more month, because this game is community based and your ideas and suggestions will be heared in the Early Access process.
If I fixed the problems earlier, the game will be released earlier.
Once again the Hunters of Zone asks you to live in peace with your fellow stalker and to hunt only mutants.
From 13:30 01.11 till 13:30 05.11 (Moscow time), Mushkar from the post in Tunguska will give "Hunter Day" quest to all comers. The reward will be Hunter Pins and experience. The quest takes place in two stages, with a break of 12 hours between the stages (plus one more break of 12 hours before the quest could be repeated). Mushkar doesn't like stalkers with karma below 250, but that's the only restrictions.
A lot has happened since we last spoke, we're starting to get the funding for the project together. We haven't found a publisher yet but if we play our cards right we will make it anyway, maybe we'll find one later down the line. The important thing to know is that we're progressing on the development with Among Ripples: Shallow Waters!
Prototype
We have worked a lot on improving the visuals as you can see. New interface and better watercolour shaders!
Let's Play
Together with our lead programmer, Tomas I sat down and played our latest prototype. Next time we promise the recording will be even better. ;)
If you also want to see this game happen please let the world know by wishlisting it and keeping tabs on what we do on our social media. The bigger following we have the easier it is to convince the people with money. It's also easier for you to keep tabs on where we are. ;)
Ready to get a NEW biathlon experience? We worked a lot and... it is prepared to download!
What is new?
Training Mode. More interesting, easier to learn. Don't ask "How to play" - just try our new Tutorial.
Championship Mode. Take part in Championships, win the main golden cup and became the Champion of biathlon battles!
Shop. Won a money as a prize on Championship? It's time to spend them! Shop is a new location where you may spend your prize money on buying sports inventory. Get the best riffle and skis, get them all!
Shooting Gallery. Try the rifle before buying! You may do it in the Shop. Just take the rifle by two hands and hit all targets.
Differentiation of inventory. Different items - different parameters. Check the item's characteristics and choose the best.
Added a lot of sounds. Clicks, item's fall sound, inventory sounds... Be sure, we added a lot because sounds make VR gaming more immersing.
Two new localizations. Now players from France and German can play Biathlon Battle VR on their native languages. So, the game supports English, Chinese, Russian, France, and German.
Steam Achievements. Ready to test yourself? Try to get all of them!

Just a small update to fix a broken Moss City ruin in the Kunlun Shan mountains north of the Takla Makan desert on the east of the map. This update also includes some small fixes to the credits - including one glaring omission, the amazing Chris Shutt who composed all the music in the game. An incredible composer, and very tolerant of my request to get the orchestration as close to period correct as was plausible. My infinite and undying thanks to the Kickstarter backers, without whom we could never have had the incredible contributions of Chris or Becky (the portrait artist) to the final game.
