Puzzle Dimension
Update: Optimizations and some new languages (日本語, 简化字 and 한국어/조선말)
- Optimized Flash UI renderer and player.
- Major optimizations in the DX9 and OpenGL renderers.
- Improved threading and CPU usage in particle system.
- Alot (!) of performance, threading and memory optimizations through out the entire engine.
- Streaming music from memory instead of IO to reduce playback glitches during loading on low-end machines.
- Optimized loading time both between levels and between in-game/front-end transitions.
- Now using DirectInput8 for keyboard input instead of Win32 API functions.
- Minor graphical improvements on various particle effects, meshes etc.
- Able to adjust gamma in "video options".
- Fade sound when application becomes inactive.
- Faster to shutdown when closing game during loading.
- Some tweaks to "highest" shadow setting to reduce SSAO noise.
- Loading initial resources during startup is now threaded.
- Improved use of registers in shader generation which improve performance on bad OpenGL drivers.
- Improved shadows in front end.
- Randomization bug in particle effect fixed; particle effects are no longer created equally.
Yet another update released.
* (PC/Mac) Fixed many translation errors
* (PC/Mac) Rewrote Steam integration; less time spent waiting but also more secure.
* (PC/Mac) Improved character trail effect.
* (PC/Mac) Heavily optimized surround sound filter.
* (PC/Mac) Improved configuration handling; no longer cycle front end for every configuration change.
* (PC/Mac) Sanity check antialias option; could cause visual artifacts on some graphics cards with incorrect MSAA option.
* (PC/Mac) Stability improved on ragdoll pose controller; ie. flowers aren't as jumpy as before.
* (PC/Mac) Improved blur/downsample pass in postprocessing; less moving artifacts during postprocessing.
* (PC/Mac) Improved thread usage when loading levels.
* (PC) Fixed bug in DI8 input device classification; no longer accept wheel as a valid gamepad.
* (Mac) Implemented a shader based blitter in the OpenGL renderer for older generation graphics cards which doesn't support the EXT_framebuffer_blit extension.
* (Mac) Fixed thread crash issue with some older OpenGL drivers.
* (PC/Mac) Lots of memory and performance optimizations.
Update released.
* Added language menu and languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish and Swedish.
* Improved font smooth algorithm.
* Optimized rendering a lot.
* Improved culling scheme on background geometry.
* A lot of CPU optimizations.

* Fixed text encoding bug in Flash player.
* Fixed size of green dots.
* Fixed couple of shader bugs.
* Fixed memory leaks in HTML and XML parsers.
* Added option for easy jump. Jumps up on release of jump button or jump in a direction when a direction is pressed.
* Added fast restart option. Use keyboard/gamepad mapping to enable.
* Added four new achievements.
* Second, third and forth clusters unlocks on less flowers.
* Added mouse wheel for camera zoom, forward/back movement, menu up/down/left/right.
