In the indie game dev scene, the use of AI is often met with suspicion and disdain. Many see AI as an evil tool that scours the internet, grabs bits and pieces of other people’s work, and spits out bizarre creations with seven fingers. But AI comes in many forms, and some developers see it as a tool to enhance storytelling and create unique, immersive experiences, all while keeping a close eye on the ethical concerns surrounding its use.

Top side is the image of the correct position of my shockwave when my node position is at (0,0). Bottom side is the image when my node position is changed. (400,0).

We know progress means advancing towards a goal through different levels.

Hi friends I came here because I have a question. I’m using FilterMode to modify some textures in the game I’m developing. I’m midifying the image by setting FilterMode: Bilinear with mipmaps, Wrap Mode: Clamp in the editor, How can I reflect this effect in code? I’m currently using the following code, but the effect is different from what I set in the editor. spriteFrame.texture.setMipFilter(2); spriteFrame.texture.setFilters( Texture2D.Filter.LINEAR, Texture2D.Filter.LINEAR ); spriteF.
