[p]Hello, everybody! Happy Autumn sale![/p][p][/p][p]I've endeavored to leave Act 1 in a good spot while I finish working on Act 2. Progress is going good! I expect it out early next year.[/p][p][/p][p]I packed this update full of a few explosive changes, as well as many smaller fixes and polish improvements.[/p][p][/p][p]The headlining feature is
High Refresh Rate support, allowing Carter's Quest to run seamlessly at 90hz, 120hz, 144hz, and whatever else your twisted monitor can display. This required reworking significant chunks of the physics code and was no small undertaking. I can confirm, having played the game all the way through at 144hz, that it feels amazing![/p][p][/p][p]Also landing in this update are a few smaller changes, fixes, and improvements. Let's crack on with it![/p][p][/p][p]
