- Fallen Tear: The Ascension - Steam Optimization Journey with PH3 - 21 September 2026
Hi everyone,this is Peter “Durante” Thoman from PH3 games speaking – if any of you know me then it might be from our JRPG ports, or maybe from older modding work. Today I’m happy to write this guest update about some technical aspects of Fallen Tear: The Ascension.BackgroundNot too long ago, in late June, Stephen of CMD Studios contacted us because they were facing some technical challenges with the game, and were wondering if we could provide some support. I was quite happy about this, since I always felt that this is something we are almost uniquely suited to, as the density of experienced performance specialists among PH3 employees is almost absurd. However, so far, we were primarily contracted for complete ports, not specifically performance optimization of existing projects.We came to an agreement and got started in July in an advisory position, and moved to more direct implementat…
