2021 was a very difficult year. I felt the full weight of the grind and saw many setbacks. But, all this heavy lifting will pay off big in 2022!! Get ready, LET'S GO!!

BIG ANNIVERSARY UPDATE!!
It's been a very difficult year. The paralysis, which I am still recovering from, and the medical bankruptcy that followed. In spite of that progress was made, maybe not as much as I'd like, but look!
"Hey Marc, how's rollback netcode coming for Pocket Fighter EX?" ............. At least it's holding 60fps?... 
I am now an Unreal Engine developer. Even if Unity Engine walks every word back how could anyone trust them again? Do we continue on where at any moment they can retroactively change the rules? I will not live under that fear. I'm done with them. Deets 
I found unreleased dev footage!
WIP Rugal 98 stage. Rugal was going to be the Arcade boss. Also notice the bubbles spawning during knockdown events! #gamedev #streetfighter #KOF
(This game is cancelled because Unity Engine betrayed all of it's devs.)
Looks like it is Kim Kaphwan's day! Got me thinking about his KOF15 outfit in NeoGeo Pocket Color style... There's a lot of small details so I had to reduce it somewhat to fit 
If Time is paused for any Actor that uses my #UnrealEngine5 Time Control system, all of their SFX also automatically pause.
I can put Actors into Time Groups. In this example the Parent Time Source for "Gameplay" is paused, so 'everything' pauses.
It's been a lot of work to make Unreal Engine 5 do various "2D Retro Effects" but there's progress made.
This one is actually manipulating a Paper Tilemap layer in real time, not a solid texture.
Managed to figure out how to apply palettes to low color sprites in #UnrealEngine5. The flashing ones are randomizing their palettes every frame.
Still working on an easy to edit palette data system, but it works!!
3 years before Pocket Fighter EX I made a sprite of Kazuya in Pocket style. I touched it up just a little bit for this post.
