Here's the thing about model poisoning - once a model is poisoned, it will start to generate more poisoned (i.e. vulnerable) code by users that will then get re-ingested into the everyone's training sets. Meaning when the models start to collapse, they will all converge on those vulnerable patterns.

That has a really nice sound to it! If I may make a small suggestion - maybe raycast to the middle of the target circle, find the intersection with the world (limited to a minimum distance from the mech that feels right), and angle the two guns towards that point so that the bullets hit that spot

I do wish there were more modern retro style games that leaned into the CRT effect, but ironically I think it generally takes a very high resolution/contrast/brightness display to get the effect truly correct. Some of the CRT filters I've seen in modern retro style games are OK, but not great.

However, I know many people who either started playing games after the LCD era of TVs or played games primarily on PC or the LCD handhelds - and they seem to prefer unfiltered "sharp" pixel art, which is totally valid, especially if the art was designed for that.

Not that I'm anywhere close to making something worth releasing on Steam lol, but I think I'll get there someday 😅

Nice! Congrats! 🎉

quad miniguns! :D

It is! Thanks for putting it all together!

Speaking of notes, I recommend taking lots of them especially when you're watching tutorials etc. because often you'll switch around what you're doing or take a break and forget some things, it's nice to have an organized cheat sheet. Here's mine from #lowpoly tutorials in #blender and #godot

One thing I struggled with when #modeling is translating different coordinate systems between #blender and the various game engines (e.g. #godot and #strideengine). One thing that helped is making a simple box model colored with the axis and test imported it into the engines. And I took notes!

I mean, sure it's all #lowpoly #programmerart so far, but it's fun! I love adding little glowy bits here and there

I have another vid of the cursed flight controller I tried to create lol, but it's over 60 seconds so I'd have to edit it, I might have to post it later lol, but here's a screenshot

This is me experimenting with physics based enemy scripts and a world-space target indicator heh, this one is slightly terrifying

I really like the Stride engine personally. Here are some experiments I've been doing in Stride. This is me testing homing projectiles, turrets, health/death scripts, and particles
