We had a discussion about whether to use Flame or Flutter for creating menus in your Flame games, and we usually recommend Flutter, but look at these very pretty menus made in pure Flame by @fabien-eme.com! 😍 PS. Don't forget to sign up for the FlameJam that starts in 2 weeks! 🔥

I spent the morning creating a Flutter issue about a severe performance degradation of drawImageRect in Impeller and v3.29.x. This heavily impacts game development (and Flame), so if you're affected I suggest that you put a thumbs up on it. :) github.com/flutter/flut...

We're getting a lot of reports to Flame about a big performance decrease after people update to Flutter 3.29, has anyone seen any open Flutter issues that could be related to this?
