Flock is doing a good job of funneling any future vulnerabilities towards NSO group or any number of bad actors.
That being said, I hope flock was made aware of these vulnerabilities privately, and that it was clear to Flock that he would publish them otherwise, and that he kept the receipts.

It looks sort of like a fire alarm that says "smash glass in case of unemployment emergency" and inside is a full design document

I've been trying to make placeholders as ugly as possible so that I'm forced to change them, either it works or I am going to have a very clashing color palette

Shows that you really can't bet the core of your product on proprietary code, especially if it isn't finished yet.
Optimization+visual consistency+correct scale is key for making a game like this. Seems like they fired an art director and started evaluating everything based on 'detail'.

Seems like there was a collision of misfortune and mistakes around this game.
I dabbled in Unity's ECS and DOTS way back in 2019, I never would've guessed that it would still be 'experimental' 5 years later.
On the other hand, using hair sims and 7-figure polycounts without a plan for LODs... oof

Not suprising, most game meshes are non-uniform since any unnecessary geometry is deleted. The backfaces don't get rendered to save resources.

Definitely a product of having backface culling not enabled by default in blender. Also causes a lot of beginners to give up on making video game assets in blender

Seems even more inefficient to continuously export and check the model in an external software like 3d viewer

I'm too chicken to use boolean modifiers, but that's because I have to make UVs

Makes sense. I wish blender would make backfaces a different color by default. Also I need a mode that highlights non-manifold areas while editing (instead of having to do the non-manifold query every time).
Sounds like it would be useful for 3d printing too

Cool. So as long as the shapes are airtight and overlapping each other, they become a solid shape? (I can blender but I cant printer)
