Debugging Progress: From Glitch Art to Graffiti Shaders
馃帹 When Bugs Make Art
The Substrata development team has been working on resolving issues with the decal shader system, which initially produced some interesting glitch art effects during debugging.
Following this, the team successfully implemented a blueprints graffiti shader, marking a significant technical milestone. The shader now includes specific minting rules to maintain appropriate content standards.
- Decal shader debugging revealed unexpected artistic glitches
- Graffiti shader implementation complete
- New content moderation features integrated into minting process
Technical progress continues as the platform balances creative freedom with community standards.
