Hearing this surprises me because I love how the Gen III games look. What would you have changed about the art in R/S/E?

Good eye. I took it into a photo editor and increased saturation (massively!!) and various colors came through, but it's hard to say if the original image had them or if they're artifacts of compression...

The whole scene and the grass blades are 3D ^^

Yes! The scene is 3D and the objects are stacks of sprites, half cylinders and planes. All the terrain objects have 3 different textures for artistic control over the resulting shadows, which are painted specifically for one shadow direction.
Alternate 3D view of the scene in the OP. Pitch black textures are visible in areas that are not seen from the default view, and everything is skewed at an angle.Visual explanation of the 3 textures that make up elements of the terrain. An image on top shows a crop of the scene from the OP and highlights one part of the cliff. Its 3 textures are displayed below along with descriptions.

[A simple texture with flat colors] "Base color"

[A grayscale shaded texture] "mask that controls how much of the shadow texture will blend with the base color"

[A texture similar to the base color, much darker and in shadow. Shading mimicking global illumination reflected from golden grass is manually painted onto it] "shadow texture. this appears when a shadow is cast on it, or when the mask reveals it"

An old experiment of a clean pixel art style combined with dynamic shadows #pixelart

A friend's slime creature
A purple slime character posing on a yellow background and winking. One arm flashes the peace sign and the other rests on their hip. They have a feminine body shape, slug-like tail, long straight blue hair with bangs, and two antennae on their head.
They are wearing a black tank top tucked into high-waisted gray cargo shorts and an orange belt with a white buckle.

Dumb question maybe but how did Eratosthenes know when the time of day was the same in Alexandria and Syene? In other words assuming they didn't have digitally synced clocks or accurate mechanical clocks, wouldn't the (inconsistent) shadows be the only consistent way to measure the current time?

I think this is more of a film/tv thing than a video game thing

This is a malicious doctor you gotta figure something else out

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Either way, you're going to have to choose between potentially upsetting binary trans people in the former option and potentially upsetting non binary trans people in the latter option. In the end it's not a huge deal either way; what really matters is being consistent and chill when corrected.
130
zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Alternatively, I think it's also fine to assume until corrected. Most people present in a way that makes it obvious enough what they're going for, pronouns-wise.
110
zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
I think this is fine, assuming you commit to it and start with 'they' even with people who you think are cis. The problem arises when ONLY trans people get they'd by default, as this communicates "I think you're trans; I don't think you pass" to their face, which is frustrating and humiliating.

So in this case what was the solution? Changing the definition to "(96 * 8)"?

some of us figure these things out a bit later. happy pride now and forever!!
A top down sprite of a furry deer character with cream colored antlers and long curly black hair. She's wearing glasses, a green long-sleeved crop top, a black skirt with a light trim at the bottom, and black boots.

She stands atop a series of colored stripes. Behind her are the colors of the bisexual flag, and directly under her are the colors of the trans flag.

like wdym i have to wear a new piece of clothing now. bras are oppressive

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
the caveat to this is that anything that's particularly important to be able to distinguish should really have ways to tell other than hue differences, for colorblind players

my experience has been similar to this... I feel like I'm getting worse at them every time

i tried to change the loading screen's text color in the game i’m making and it threw an error and softlocked with nothing but a single “L” on the screen
Cropped screenshot of the Unity Engine game editor screen.
The game screen in the editor consists of completely blank dark screen aside from a small white 'L' at the bottom center of it.

Several messages can be seen in console:
Info: Config key "completed_controls_page" has invaid boolean '', using default of False
Info: Could not find SpritePack "Palettes"
Error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Portrait of @timothtb.bsky.social's OC "Mib", redeemed from a hidden alt text prize in one of my previous posts.
A 40x40 pixel art portrait of a maroon-haired white woman. She's wearing an orange sweater and sports fluffy fox ears that match her hair color. She's viewed from a slightly low angle and looks off to the side with a pensive expression. Her stylized eyes have no visible whites.

The background of the image is abstract stripes of cool green grays and purples.

How do you know they're trenders and aren't genuinely doing it?
010
zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
"Only trenders who are trans because all the cool kids on the block are trans like being trans." Why do you think this is even a thing?

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
"They hate that. They wish they were different AGAB." This is true but you're focusing on the negative aspect and missing the positive aspect. We also *do want* to be a different gender and transitioning to that gender brings a lot of joy and relief.

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
I think it's just that it transitions from a tile to a sprite when picked up and they wanted it to match, but I'm no expert

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
Discord screenshot. Letterbomb is replying to zoey saying "Wouldn't expect different tiles to use different amounts, that's cool"

Letterbomb says: "Part of the reason why the sign is like that is because they kinda had to fit it within the sprite colors for when you pick up the sign/grass/rocks"
Included is a photo of the 8 color palette that is shared between all picked up rocks bushes and signs.

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
It seems different tiles have different max amount of colors so I was off on this one, the sign is indeed limited to 4

Also while we're on the topic, here's how I handled the sign tile
Redrawn sign tile from The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
Thanks for your kind words! Though I'm not sure if your assessment about the sign is accurate. This tile for instance has 7 colors. Though the sign definitely stands out among the overworld tiles as being weirdly simple IMO.

zoey @goodly.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
Thank you!! Seems I need to specify it's a redraw in the main post, but the urge to aura farm with vague descriptions is strong.

A top down view of a redrawn part of the overworld from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Link stands in a wooded campsite talking to someone inside of a tent. Crates and boxes litter the area. The tent's occupant responds:

"Yo... Link? Sorry, thought you were a soldier. I'm really sleepy. Let's chat later, OK?"

Link has 67 rupees. First person to comment "wow these alt texts are useful" gets one free 40x40 portrait of their furry oc or furry character of choice!!!!

it's been raining for a long time
A top down view of a redrawn part of the overworld from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Link stands in a puddle in a rainy marsh, surrounded by large statues. Compared to the same area in the original game, the water puddles have expanded greatly in size. Fireflies dot the area, providing a small amount of warmth to an otherwise cold scene.

she isn't here
A top down view of a redrawn fairy fountain cave from The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Link stands at the south side of the cave, staring at the empty basin that is normally filled with water. There is no sign of any fairies aside from the inanimate statues on either side of the room.
