Though, I think mine is broken. I have watched like 3 Ordinary Sausage videos. I have no idea where it is getting this number.

And this is why we don't preemptively optimize.
If you have a problem, and then you put in a solution to fix it, you can immediately test if it had any effect at all. If you just think something might be a future problem, and you try to solve it... you get this...

Why vote for one (1) incomplete game, when you could vote for FIFTY (50) completed games in one?

UFO50 all the way. Deserves every accolade we can throw at it. It's a masterpiece.

I was pretty disappointed with the JP version of SFII. I usually watch EVERYTHING subtitled, but the "numetal" soundtrack absolutely slapped for Jr. High me. I didn't realize the JP audio had a completely different -and honestly- very odd soundtrack. Like... where's the game music?

Retro Palette Swapper - for GameMakerStudio 1 & 2 by Pixelated Pope Create one sprite, have unlimited possibilities!

Nice! I did the exact same thing for #gamemaker

You could probably use my Palette Creator tool with your Godot project as the "output" is just a palette sprite formatted exactly like your palette sprite!

I added conveyor belts! Inspired by the conveyor platforms of SMB2 and 3. Always a fun obstacle to deal with in a game. Ideally, enemies and objects will also be affected. Also, switches that affect their direction and speed are in the works. Hope you enjoy.

GMRoomLoader made it to the Shortlist last year, and it would be amazing to win this time around! It has grown a lot since then, especially with the recent v2 release.

If you feel like the library deserves it, please consider nominating it in the Best Tool category!

If a game is in Early Access, is it "fully released" or "anticipated"?
