Update V 1.0.0.2 (posted post-update)

Post#1 » Thu Aug 01, 2019 11:14 pm

Good news folks!

The recent switch to the new unity 5 engine surely opened up a lot of options development-wise. As promised we have yet another very nice update if we may say so) with some 'heavy' content and improvements in the eye candy department. Overall people seem very pleased with the recent updates despite some minor issues, which are addressed with some of the fixes mentioned below.

Also the issues we were having with sending e-mails from our web-host have been resolved for the main site. We're still looking into a solution for the forum but at least people will be able to create a new account or reset an existing one. This means we're able to pick up on promoting Pion again without people getting stuck and requesting support. All is well that ends well so we'll conclude this update introduction with notes!
