We Smash Bros now.

A purplish pink graphic showcasing the WIP Night details. There's 3 images of the 3 games' key art: Anticitizen Red, Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic and Insignia. Beneath them is a drawing of a horse, kangaroo, cockatoo and ibis, all in states of being half rendered realistically, alongside goofy "poorly drawn" features. In the middle are WIP Nights' details: Noble Steed Games, WIP Night!, 12th December, Friday, 5:30pm-8:30pm, ACE Parramatta. At the bottom are sponsor details: Screen NSW, ACE and Noble Steed Games' logos.

Introducing... even more upcoming games that will be showcasing at WIP Night! We'll have microtalks, 10 Sydney-made games for playtesting, and free food and drinks!

I don't use the pixel perfect cameras at all and the game is smooth.

You generally want the camera updating last. If you have damping, that'll help, but ultimately any movement that's subtler than like 1 pixel every 2-3 frames is going to look choppy as the camera jumps between the integer pixel counts at inconsistent frame intervals.

Even when set up correctly, the snapping created by pixel perfect cameras can be jarring when the camera is doing anything other than sitting still or moving quickly along a cardinal axis. I just place my assets on the grid and snap my characters on pixel perfect positions when they stop moving.

I don't have any resources on it, but I do have a few opinions. Are you doing any parallaxing or any camera movement at all?

MIGW was amazing! I get so much energy meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends that by the end of it I'm itching to fly home and get back to work!

To everyone who introduced themselves to me this week at #GDC, I'm so grateful to you. It was a surreal honour and absurd privilege to feel like I was at home in a place I've never been, among friends I've never met.

Seriously, thank you all so much.

I'm taking your efforts in good faith but I have to say, I think Bluesky is a poor platform to share such a message. I really think that most readers would see the graphs and these posts and come away more confused.

In your own graphic, the only image that has a tick against "pixel perfect" is functionally identical to what I would describe as pixel perfect, so by your own standard we're just talking about dolphins.

If there are under-the-hood differences, your graphic isn't sufficient to explain them.

You can always contribute to the conversation in a more permanent format and in more depth. That way your definition doesn't have to die.

Reading your other post, I wonder if you might be confused about the content of my video.

Our definitions are the same for pixel perfect, as far as I can tell, and as far as I communicated in the video.

I trust your voice in this topic but when it comes to pixel art games in off-the-shelf engines like Godot and Unity, this is how the terminology is used. The Unity engine itself has a component called "pixel perfect camera" that scales and snaps content to a low res texture.

My game isn't pixel perfect, and your favourites probably aren't either. Here's why: youtu.be/-hSRLmk3nLo

I gave up microblogging (is that still what we call it?) a while ago but I'll have much to say about my projects soon, so you may get your wish :)

Hey, Bluesky!
