- Update Notes - Patch 8 is here! - 24 June 2020
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: 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 o…

- Patch Notes - Patch 5 (version 60d4e517) - 15 November 2019
Hi all! Finally it's time for a new patch, and it's a good one! Here are some highlights and the actual patch notes too. Highlights We pushed the ultrawide / all resolution support to the main branch now! After some minor bugs and feedback we are confident that it should work for everyone now. We hope you enjoy! We've done lots of small optimizations to reduce stuttering and improve framerate, but moreover, we've finally pulled apart the graphic settings so that you can tweak things to your liking. We've seen massive performance gains on especially lower end machines when using these new settings in different combinations. New achievements! Go check them out. If you should already have gotten one of them, it should unlock automatically. New much-requested entries in the Glossary to better explain some resources and items, such as Droolica, the Outfindings (and what they do / how to use…

- Pine - Combat Music Showcase - 6 October 2019
Hey all! We haven't done any actual development blog updates in a while, but as we're nearing release in less than a week, we're excited to focus on some awesome features that we've been building. This time, we check out the combat music - we added an adaptive system of layers that checks what species you're fighting and how many, to then dynamically change the combat music to the situation! Each species has their own theme that we blend the combat music with. The themes (and styles) can also be heard in their villages. A long time ago already we posted one of those themes on YouTube: March of the Litters! All of this is done by our amazing friends from Other World Ensemble, who do all the music and sounds for Pine. Pine is coming out on October 10th, that's only 4 days away!!! Until next time, The Pine team
