GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I don't get it, the draw order is correct but for some reason the parts of walls I draw on top of everything except the shadows are actually on top of the shadow layer?
You can see that the front part of walls and all objects are drawn correctly :/

On the one hand this is a huge bug, the stairs should always be accessible.
On the other it's kinda cool to have to excavate the exit stairs.
On yet another hand if you don't have or loose your hammer (or bombs) you're screwed.

If you have any isolated friends/family/people in your life, give them a quick call and a check in today in lieu of a text. They probably want to speak to someone, and they’re possibly too proud/too worried about being a bother to make the first move.

If you are feeling low or lonely today say 'Hi' and I'll draw you a little guy waving Hi back at you. A new friend.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

So I spent a while remaking the title screen load code only to realise the reason it was taking so much longer than a normal island was because the file for it had all the objects in one big list instead of being broken up in to chunks😓
