The game runs much smoother now, most noticeably in the transitions between puzzles! If you are interested in the technical notes behind the fixes, these are the changes:

• The code that manages the button and character colors is much more performant
  
• Reduced draw calls by batching more geometry to render at the same time
  
• Updated the button shaders to fix some ambient occlusion issues when in high and ultra mode
  
• Updated the plug-in that handles controllers and inputs

We're excited to have partnered together with some amazing puzzle games to bring you the Atmospheric Puzzle Bundle!

• Mars Power Industries - Manage resources, solve challenging puzzles and uncover what lies beneath the surface.
  
• Spring Falls - Manipulate the landscape and bring wildflowers to life.

Path of Giants started off as a hobby project for the two of us that we would pick away at on weekends. Seeing it now on the store page and having such positive early reviews is truly an amazing feeling!

We have learned SO MUCH along the way, and have probably rebuilt the game three times over. If it wasn’t for setting some hard deadlines for ourselves, Andrew would probably still be rebuilding the pathfinder because it could be slightly better.

A shout out to our truly dedicated testers, Kat and Chad who really helped shape PoG into what it is today. Also, a big thank you to our composer, Clark Aboud[clarkaboudmusic.bandcamp.com], who gave our game such a unique and charming sound. Our initial pitch to Clark was to make it ambient and cute with a little bit of nordic influence. Nailed it!!
