Which engine?

[Power_Bert]

I would be interested to know which graphics engine Pyre is using.
(As i experience microstutter and performance trouble with pretty much every game made in unity.)

Hey, Pyre is built using our own tech. Over time, we've done a lot to make our tech and toolset very good at doing what we need them to do to make the games we make. These days I think it's pretty uncommon for studios of any size to have their own engines. We just happen to like ours, and think it contributes to the unique feel of each of our games.

Technically the game is all 2D, but we use a lot of tricks to give it a 3D look in certain spots. We have the Windows and Linux system requirements posted on our Steam page.

Generally speaking, if Transistor (our previous game) runs well on your system, Pyre should run well on it, too.

any chance of releasing mod tools for bastion and transistor? = P

Some of the videos show some books opening in the caravan and it looked impressively 3D. That was 2D assets?

Some of our animations, such as that one, are 3D rendered but still are sprite-based in the context of the game (consisting of many thousands of frames of animations). The character animations during the Rites done in a similar technique. There isn't any real-time 3D rendering happening from a technical standpoint.

It seriously astounds me how amazing Supergiant's games look. Played through Bastion about 4 days ago again and yeah at 1080P on a computer monitor there are some very minor artifacts on The Kid's sprite at some angles in the animation (minor specks), it still looks gorgeous, Transistor even more-so, and I agree with Totalbiscuit that Pyre might be the most gorgeous looking video game I have ever seen based on the trailers, screenshots and demo videos.

The fire effects are easily the best I have ever seen in a game, despite their abstract visual nature.
