Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for March 13th, 2023, detailing all the changes that have happened since March 6th, 2023. Note: Devs that don’t appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn’t need to be detailed.
Accessibility Suggestions
We’ve created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.

Condo: MIDI Support Instrument Settings WIP
A preview of MIDI settings for musical instrument items. Displayed are the sound sets that are detected for each of the 16 MIDI channels, using ‘program change’ events. This information can be used to select which channels to play back on the active instrument.
SDNL
Now that Libretro support has been released, our focus has turned to SDNL.
@macdguy worked on the level design for “Frostbite”, adding new structures and fixing platforms, while also identifying where jump pads could go. He also continued on weapon handling.
