## Later hands-on field tests
- [Polyfork in Godot](https://secondhandsaves.com/loadout/field-tests/polyfork-godot/): tested 2026-11-11, four authored props and a shape variant. Material flag correction required; color-only GLB export limits. Android and performance untested.
- [ASCII Magic Art](https://secondhandsaves.com/loadout/field-tests/ascii-magic-art/): tested 2026-11-13. Self-host the package; never load its script from ascii-magic.com.
- [3Dviz Pro Max](https://secondhandsaves.com/loadout/field-tests/3dviz-pro-max/): tested 2026-11-14, three small 3D games built with it. A good fact checklist, not a speed tool (scores 2, 2.5 and 2 out of 5). On Windows use python, not python3.
