Dear players, It’s finally time for a big patch! It’s been a while since the last update, but we’ve been working hard on improving Pine in some major areas. We listened to your feedback, revamped some systems on a deep, technical level and upgraded the engine Pine was built in. All of this took a bit longer than expected, but hopefully it was worth the wait! The update is big in filesize too, but the game’s disk size has shrinked a whopping 700mb (from 3.3GB to 2.6GB on disk)! Some update highlights: [list] [*] Performance gains and big stutter reductions from garbage collection through upgrading Pine’s engine and implementing incremental garbage collection [*] Combat is smoother and much more responsive: added dodge cancel, kick out of any move and fractional directional control [*] Camera tweaks: added auto steering settings and removed aimed smoothing [*] Platforming is more forgiving due to the addition of ‘coyote time’ [*] Two new languages added (Dutch and Korean), two more coming soon [/list]
