- Polyarc Dev Update - 0.1 - 20 May 2026
Hey all, it’s Danny from Polyarc. We've been reading all the reactions to the announcements this week, and I wanted to say thank you. It's encouraging to see all the excitement, questions, debates, and curiosity coming from both new and familiar fans alike. I wanted to take a moment to share a little more about why we are making Moss: The Forgotten Relic. Why We Are Making This Game For a long time, we’ve wanted more people to have the chance to experience Quill’s story. Over the years, many players connected with Quill, were drawn to her world, and expressed a desire to experience the adventure for themselves, but for a number of various reasons were unable to play in VR. Bringing Moss: The Forgotten Relic to PC and consoles is our way of finally opening that door, and we are looking forward to welcoming all the new players about to embark on their own journey with Quill for the first…

- Recent Patch Summary - 27 October 2023
There have been a couple of patches following our latest big update to Moss. Here are the details: Last week's update was a full rebuild in Unreal 4.27. This was the reason for the large download size. In the time since the last Steam release, the game's project was renamed from "MossGame" to "Moss". The patch on Oct 19 included an engine change to force it to continue using the name "MossGame" when looking for save data. Save files which appeared to be deleted were not removed and are now visible again by the game. For those who may have started a new game before the Oct 19 name fix, that save data is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Moss\Saved\SaveGames and can be transferred to %LOCALAPPDATA%\MossGame\Saved\SaveGames. It is recommended to make a backup of the destination folder before replacing any files. Old configuration values, in particular those related to input, were getting stuck in…

- Oculus Menu Button Input Binding Change - 2 May 2022
To support an upcoming Oculus / SteamVR button compatibility change the button binding to bring up the game menu has moved from app button to the Y button on the left controller. This is because the app button on the left controller will soon be reserved for use as the system button on Oculus compatible controllers. Similarly, the recenter button binding is now holding down the left Y button for 1 second, instead of holding the left app button.
