Top-down shooter development 15 - Performance update
After the launch of Bahooey v Ziwaa, I took a break from development to avoid burnout (and to focus on a new job!). I'm starting to get the itch to make another project, but first I want to give some....

📽 In the Fred movie, everything but Fred should've been done in a hyperrealistic style like Nomadland

Fred in the youtube videos isn't a teen in a cartoon world, he's a kid who doesn't understand the real world (and is played by a teen actor using an annoying voice)

To Godot devs, what's your workflow for recording video in the editor and converting it to mp4?

I've tried a few options but I haven't found how to upload video previews on here without huge distortions or loss of quality
