looking at leaks in lowres godot lightmaps: - dilation touches neighbors - there's no way to increase island padding, bicubic filter needs 4 texels - denoiser doesnt have island isolation - closed rooms leak through corners, probably a bias bug - unocclusion algorithm is imprecise seems solvable

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

30 YEARS OF QUAKE MORE THAN 30 HOURS OF WORK (probably) HAND PIXELLED. #pixelart #digitalart #retro #quake #doom #id

Ranger with the power of the Pentagram of Protection ravaging into a Shambler tearing its arm with a Waraxe and feeding him a rocket, turning its head into a cloud of fire, evaporated blood and flesh. The Shambler's skin and flesh surrounding the explosion begin to rapidly melt.

A Fiend is trying to kill Ranger holding onto its neck, probably confounded and scared of his power.

The Shambler's arm casts a powerful lightning that fails to hit Ranger.

From behind a Knight swings its sword upwards.

The stream of blood that the axe draws starts from a Grunt's brains, who was intercepted in Ranger's trajectory towards the Shambler.

An ogre attempts to intercept Ranger by throwing a grenade upwards, which is hit by the Shambler's lightning.

Another ogre tries to get back on balance as blood falls on its head.

A Vore behind an Ogre tries to reach for Ranger.

A Spawn wants to join the party.

A Scrag barely avoids the Shambler's lightning and the explosion from the Ogre's Grenade.

A Death Knight in the top left casts a barrage of fireballs from its sword.

The background from the piece. Some sort of small citadel with a tower on the front and a bloody arch covered in religious symbology with a goat's head on top.

In the front an Ogre is seen looking through a window, he looks a little upset.

A polite Rottweiler guards the tower's entrance.

On the upper part of the tower, two stained glass pieces depict two different dragons that never appear in game that sucks. One is yellow, the other is blue.

Between the stained glasses a Zombie is hanging.

Beyond the citadel's wall, one of Quake's wretched amorphous castles can be seen in a distorted gloomy purple landscape. Strange shapes stand tall in the deformed mountains and tentacles can be seen emerging from the flesh skies.

Four of the Magic Runes float surrounding the center large tower.

The tallest tower in the castle is also surrounded by two rings and in the top, Quake's symbol can be seen seemingly holding the moon on its grasp.

An alternative version of the Arch with no blood (or not as much blood)

Closeup of the Citadel's wall with the wicked landscape behind it.
