Prototyping a windshield shader with wipers. Still not happy with rain drops but pretty much like how the wipers turned out

Question about Pixel-Art and Canvas Size
Hey folks, quick question about Pixel-Art! Imagine following scenario: You're creating a game with the main character and the Enviroment Tiles being 16x16 pixels. Now you're faced with creating a Boss-like enemy and wan't it to exceed the 16x16 pixel boundary and decide to make him 48x48 pixels. After a while of Pixeling it becomes clear that the Boss-like enemy has now substantially more detail than everything else and just doesn't quite to seem to fit in with all other sprites.
TLDR: How to properly scale Pixel-Art, creating bigger Enemies/Enviroment Tiles but keeping the same level of detail as other (smaller) sprites?
Is it just that I use a bigger brush then? (e.g. for 16x16 on a 48x48 grid, using a pixel-brush that covers a 3x3 area?)

Need Advice on Managing Traffic in a Top-Down 2D Game
I’m working on a top-down 2D game where cars move between nodes on a network. It’s a large-scale system with potentially 100+ cars navigating through a map containing around 1000 nodes. The core mechanic works well enough with basic pathfinding, but I’m running into a few issues as I try to make the traffic system more dynamic and realistic.
I need help with:
1. anticipating collisions, as right now, cars follow their paths without considering others, which results in collisions at intersections or when paths overlap. I’d like the cars to anticipate potential crashes and take evasive action, but I’m unsure of the best way to implement this at scale without bogging down performance.
2. I want cars to behave differently based on “personalities” (e.g., cautious cars, aggressive drivers, etc.). This would mean some cars yield while others take risks. It needs to feel organic and work seamlessly within the system.
What I’ve Tried So Far •
Node-Based Pathfinding (A): Each car calculates its route to a destination using A. Works fine, but it doesn’t account for dynamic obstacles like other cars.
Basic Collision Avoidance: I’ve implemented a simple system where cars stop if they’re too close to another. This works for straight paths but causes traffic jams and looks very mechanical.
Global Priority System: I experimented with assigning priorities to cars at intersections, but it doesn’t scale well with many cars and nodes, as it becomes too computationally heavy.
hasmap for Position Tracking: I tried using a hashmap to store and update car positions so each car knows where others are relative to itself. This helped a bit with awareness but became expensive as more cars entered the system.
Advice and examples would be very welcomed. Thanks for any help in advance!

Animation Question
Hello!
I am working on a 2D project and I have run into a bit of a problem. The game I'm making is a 2D grid based tactics game. I am implementing animations currently, and I have 4 directions for idle, walking, moving, etc.
The problem is, if a character gets hit, I need to make into account which way they were facing, and where the hit came from. So that's 4x4=16 animations. Is there any way I can avoid this, and reduce the amount of animations I need to make?
Thanks!
