Some days ago I noticed that on a Mac, doing snprintf calls from multiple threads shows curious lack of scaling (see tweet). Replacing snprintf with {fmt} library can speed up the OBJ exporter in Blender 3.2 by 3-4 times. This could have been the end of the story, filed under a “eh, sprintf is bad!” drawer, but I started to wonder why it shows this lack of scaling.

Localisation. Accessibility is important in all forms of media and video games are no exception. We have seen interest for our games from all corners of the globe and we are incredibly grateful for the international support.

We're continuing on our fortnightly release schedule for alpha snapshots of Godot 4.0 - this time with 4.0 alpha 3. See past alpha releases for details ( alpha 1 , alpha 2 ).

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. After last week’s revelations regarding the nature of the DMA, “ Rubicon ” both ups the ante and draws to a certain anticlimactic close. This season’s pacing has been a bit on the slow side, but “Rubicon” throws everything it has at the plot. Even the cold-open is eventful.
