Well, this is what I was talking about! Remember, it's running on a 486DX2@66 (emulated with 86Box). #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Progress! Keyboard handling, character pipeline, drawing and scaling. This is an unlit test room with a placeholder character, but the game will have some fancy lighting. Thing is, this is actually much more than a plain sprite. Stay tuned... #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

The Foundation has been pragmatical and wise here. Idealism or moralism would have just been a play to the gallery or a pie in the sky. Sadly, AI is already moralized (until one day when it'll stop being so for most) and any speak about it will create sides.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

By the way, I've hunt this naughty subcluster down. It was a subtle overflow issue. I'm using as few bits as possible everywhere and the budget was too low here. I've added a superfast bit trick clamp and it's solved now. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

So, the glitchy roughness was due to an RLE decoding bug. I've fixed it and added some nice dithering so I still get a grainy look but with more correct visuals.

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...
