By your definition of “live service”, that is, a game with post-launch updates with both free and paid DLC, wouldn’t that mean that ALL games with post-launch support are “live-service” games? Because to the general player, there IS a difference between games like Overwatch/2 or Fortnight which are “live service” games, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate which was not “live service” in the same way that the other games are, despite getting regular character drops/dlcs and some patches.

This is one of those disconnects between what the public thinks the term means and what the developers think the term means (much like [ "alpha" and "beta" ]). As long as the product is out in public and actively being supported by developers, to us it is a live service game. You've been using "live service" incorrectly.

Elden Ring features big tree levels where you have to platform on narrow branches that snake around. The two big influences for this map were Elden Ring and Halo. I liked the idea of climbing / descending a big weird tree, and building it in Quake would be a big challenge, so that's what I prototyped first.

Hello all, I have a shader that takes the alpha value of one texture and applies to a sprite frame. I prefer to go this way so that I can have a gradient fade to transparency… the mask component uses the stencil buffer and isn’t set up to use alpha blending and therefore cannot utilize the gradient of alpha values.
