PixelOver EP 51 03/24/25Read the original post on Itch
Hello! Here is the second (And hopefully the last one before the stable release) release candidate version of the huge migration of PixelOver to the next major version of Godot, going from Godot 3.5.1 to Godot 4.4.
As previously announced, this update is more than just a migration. It introduces 2 major new features: the ability to add shaders to individual objects and blending mode.
Please note that pre-release versions may be unstable.

Blending mode for layers and 2d objects. Art by maxtron95 |
Per-object shaders. This feature is especially useful for tasks like adding a separated outline to each element of a bone chain.  Art by Oce33 |

Changes
