Stress testing in Godot. The engine is robust in handling these. Each bullet is its own node. No optimization done yet on the base bullet code. The highest we have tested is 100 bullets. CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 RAM: 8.00 GB #gamedev #indiegame #devlog #godot #technical

Update, folks! In ByteBlaster, you’ll help Erro and Ermi explore a dark and abandoned labyrinth that makes up the digital world. It’s not all danger, though. Many programs are peaceful like the denizens of Tarashi Towan. #gamedev #indiegame #devlog #godot #madeingodot
