I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.

Many will understand I regret having used 'ai' here. But—hey!— that was 8 years ago. (Anecdotally, in a commit originally done to the SVN incarnation of the repo, later imported into Git.)

Something is broken in #Hellrule. As a witness, we have this case where our hero falls into the pit. The screen loop logic in this infinite level failed to apply to the ground stripe.

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.
If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

The z-buffer and depth testing (aka z-testing) have been the dominant way of hidden surface elimination for over 50 years, introduced but not implemented in W. Straßer's PhD thesis in 1974, and actually implemented in Ed Catmull's PhD thesis in the same year. 1/4

Its binaries were lost to time, but earlier this year I fixed compilation with modern toolchains, so I could rebuild it for desktop platforms.
