Could you please elaborate on this a bit? I'm working on a game that has a similar art style (pixel-art sprites in 3D) and I'm wondering what issues did you encounter on consoles with such setup? Did you have to optimize your shaders for the console in this regard?

You say:

“[...] some of the intricacies of console hardware got me scratching my head quite a bit. One example is that alpha clipping has very different performance characteristics on PC and console. This was major since it's an integral part of the art style with pixel-art sprites in 3D.”

Sounds like a great fit for another entry in my “Wright Files” series.

Because, obviously, it’s going to be series with “Egerton’s Pickle” being the first entry.

P.S.: Once it’s ready and playable. 🥁

P.P.S.: And, obviously, I have tons of ideas for plots in the series. 🥁🥁

The thing is that YT's automatic censorship algorithm is ridiculously prone to false-positives. Anecdotally, one polish online conference related to digital wellbeing of teenagers had its live stream taken down right after start because the first session was discussing teen suicides.

The Min-Max Probability Paradox:

Thereʼs a near-zero chance of human extinction as a result of an unforeseen cosmic cataclysm during our lifetime, but if that happens, itʼs almost certain that the apocalypse will find that one unlucky bastard with a jar up his bum.
