DuskEngine can now use spritesheets & cycle through them. My first use case is for animated light halos (7 frames running at 10 fps here), which used to be done via scripting (changing the scale of the transform), but now all that overhead has been removed

I've got a profiler window! I'll use it to keep an eye on systems as I test stuff out, maybe set some alerts if anything misbehaves badly. A kind of performance smoke, to run before delving deeper with e.g. Tracy. In this case I was taking a look at how much time is spent pathfinding, each frame.

Gave the lamps some halos to improve the night time mood. I'm using the same type of light flicker pattern as was used in Quake (if you google it you'll find articles about it), it's a very nice and intuitive way to write such animations in code

Hi, today there's an update available for Rat tier on a certain site. Things are pretty dire for me lately, see one of the attached images for details on why that is and ways to help. Even if you can't, please consider checking out a demo in a reply, reposts are also nice. TY 🥹
