Hello Travelers! It's me, Emma! Your mod person!

So, I've got some news that's probably not terribly surprising (especially if you follow me on plurk): the game will be closing this spring.

This isn't a decision I'm making lightly, and in the interests of total transparency I will explain what's all going on.

The game was designed and made by three of us, but due to IRL reasons the bulk of running things has been mostly handled by my dumb ass for some time. I'm not a great mod, I'll be the first to admit this, but I've been doing my best as a first-timer. Honestly, YOU guys, the playerbase, are what makes things Chill and Fun(tm) and I'm eternally grateful for that.

Anyway, believe it or not we're hitting a YEAR that the game has been running. That's a long damn time to be stuck on a bunch of islands! And since we're hitting that anniversary I had to sit down and go "can I keep doing this?" and unfortunately the answer is "no."

But I sure didn't want to just drop that on you all, hence this announcement.

Polymythos will close at the end of May, 2022.

Next month will be another space station month (what, you thought I hadn't seen more space movies?) and the Final Event will be in May. Although I am not responsible for the world building of the game, I will do my very best to come up with something that feels satisfactory for those of you who are into that.

I've closed apps for the game - if any of you are latecomers I'm sorry you got the tail end, but I hope you can still have fun!

You guys have all been SUCH a delight, and I count myself as so very lucky to have had such cool players take my dumb prompts and turn them into something amazing. I don't know what the future brings, but rest assured if I am ever involved in another game or dressing room or anything, you guys are all invited to check it out. I'm legit gonna miss everyone a lot and wish I had it in me to keep things going.

Please feel free to hit me up here with any questions or concerns.
