We have a four strike system in this community where you get warned the first time you break a rule, then given a week ban, then given a year ban, then a permanent ban. Certain actions may bypass this and go straight to permanent ban if severe enough and done with malicious intent
4.2 will actually add glow effects in 2D but they only seem to be working in thr Forward+ renderer right now. I think some other effects like trails also don't work on the Compatibility renderer. Compatibility is mostly for webgames and GUI apps.
If your goal is to make a desktop game then there isn't much reason in not using the forward renderer.
Ok Cool, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you so much!
It seems like compatibility doesn't have some anti-aliasing modes or something when I've tried it, although idk about light effects
Good to know, thank you!
