Publishers like Kwalee are evolving past hyper-casual to titles that pack in deeper gameplay and longer retention, unlocking new monetization opportunities and signaling an industry-wide push to combine diverse revenue mod

Good evening, I just finished writing my own custom shader to create 2D shadows on sprites, but I can’t find a way to increase the render area of the sprite. The sprite size is 450x450, I created an atlas and used the trim option, this reduced the frame to 156x393. The problem is that the shader does not render outside these limits, even though the original area was 450x450.
