I'm developing an #IndieGame - The Conservatory. Think Starbound if it was 3D.

Ah, post processing. Forgot about that.

Well, I *was* updating my VRChat world.
But given that this is what Quest looks like right now, I think it'll have to wait.

But retries be damned, the amount of knowledge I've earned in how to do CPU-bound lighting is incredible.

For context: "about done" as in "with the current iteration". I have redone lighting a few times as I realize the system does not fit well to what I need from a practical standpoint.
So yes. I have finished lighting a few times and I am about to again. I hope this is the last time.

I almost got it. Lighting is nearly done for my game. I took a few days of a break since it was beating the shit outta my brain.
I got some issues with update dispatches but I found a workaround to the infinite loop problem, though it has a significant (~6x) performance cost which is.. eugh.

Man, lighting in my game has been a challenge. What a mess. Chances are, February's blog post is just going to be lighting.
I *might* try to make some visuals for some of the concepts I will discuss. They get complicated. Most of the complexity is in edge case handling.

This is exactly correct. People already receive political information from other sources. So, they set boundaries, they draw a line in the sand. One side is safe, the other side is stressful with current events. An artist posting politically might put them on the wrong side of that line.
