Performance & foliage update

Hi everyone,

I got a Steamdeck on my birthday so I made some performance optimisation in the game that should affect everyone. Especially on volcano level, forest level and shadow level. The target was to reach a constant 60 FPS on the deck : it's a success !

Here's the changelog
- Optimisation in volcano level, forest level and void level (mostly concerning lighting ; render calls optimisation & level loading / unloading)
- More foliage in forest level (it's cheap now to render that, so I cracked it up a bit !)
- Special settings applied if you play on a deck (mostly concerning shadows : they are so greedy !)

I hope you'll enjoy, if you find bugs or problems you can reach out to me via discussions !
Have a good weekend !

Minor update

- Performance optimizations
- Prevents being stuck when opening steam overlay while pause was activated
- Prevents a crash on linux in Volcano level
- Corrects secret room content on linux

Official Livesplit Integration

Hi there !

After watching some friends speedrunning Pillars of Light (Dahpril lately on TwitchTV, just to name him), I worked a bit on a better integration with the most common speedrunning tool : Livesplit.
Pillars of Light now has an official category in the settings and an autosplitter !
It will allow speedrunner to ignore loading times (because your loading speed should not make you better or worse than a fellow speedrunner !) but also automatically change the current step of your speedrun.

I know it's a niche feature ! But now has never been a better time to beat this 42 minutes run and get the achievement ! 42 minutes is easy, the competition is now sub-30, will you try to beat that ? :)

Have a good one !

PS :

Here's the "official" list of splits :
- Introduction
- House
- Temple
- Attack
- Jungle
- Transition
- Sewers
- Cinematic
- Volcano
- Desert
- Cinematic
- The void
- Cinematic

Pillars of Light is released on Linux & Steamdeck

Pillars of Light have been released on Linux after some testing on my side. In addition, the game has been tested on a steamdeck running Windows (and it worked amazingly well) so let's hope it will be the same on a native Steamdeck (running Linux, you know). Tests have been run on Ubuntu with and without the help of Proton.

It should be now publicly available for Linux & Steamdeck users.

Please, feel free to reach out if you have any problems regarding Pillars of Light on these devices.

Have a good one !
