1:01:20robrobby Is it useful when assets can be modified from outside (file on disk overwrite, maybe even in memory) and still work in-game? Is it now supported after an asset is loaded, as I could not see any callback to check if a file is modified, as your glazing speed refactoring was way too fast for me?

1:06:04ttbjm Where you check if an asset is already loaded or not, if an asset would take a very long time to load, would it check if it's loaded again to try to load the asset again? Not sure if that makes sense
