tinyBuild shares an update on Mr. Shifty’s optimization patch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
tinyBuild has been hard at work on a patch for Mr. Shifty. Once released, it should improve the game’s performance – specifically frame rate. The team was hoping to have it ready this week, but it’s taking a bit longer than expected.
tinyBuild CEO Alex Nichiporchik said today that the “patch is simply too big. This is because the Unity plugin we’re using for export is brand new, and tends to package in a bit too many unnecessary information, bloating the size.” tinyBuild is now working with Unity to address this as well as reduce the overall size of Mr. Shifty on Switch.
When we have more news to report about the patch, we’ll let you know.
