"It could be useful" or "it is important" is not enough for me. I don't want to add a feature that nobody will use.

If one day someone comes and requests new blending modes, with good reasons for it, I'll think about it. But until this happens, I don't see any reason to pollute the public API with stuff that nobody's waiting for.

Id argue but you already won. Well hopefully that day comes soon that someone really needs it.

I don't understand your point of view.

If you need it, tell me why and let's discuss more about it.
If you don't need it, why do you care?

Neither

So I chose to do in between, I half discussed it and I half care

My point of view is that having it would make my life easier.

Ok, so tell me why. Imagine that you have those blending modes, and show me how simpler your code would become

Well since I am converting my project from GML to C++ basically everywhere that has draw_clear_alpha(c_black,0) now becomes draw_clear_alpha(c_white,0)

Which is about 4 lines

(Yes I want to hit me too, so feel free to get in line haha)

There is also some other stuff so it would be more like a total of 10 lines
