Been doing HEAVY work on Pocket Fighter EX today. Programming more save state configurations for components that don't have them yet. Almost every component needs to interface with the save state system! Still a lot to go, but we're getting there!
Next up
"Hey Marc, how's rollback netcode coming for Pocket Fighter EX?" ............. At least it's holding 60fps?... 
The wavy background effect can do both directions, even at the same time. (FPS is low because it's playing in Editor.)
Experimenting with Screen Shake and vibration causing Mega Man to loose some footing.
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.
Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass 
(I didn't save, so I'm cooked for this playthrough.)
You can mark Macro nodes as *Development Only* but they STILL GET CALLED IN SHIPPING?! 
#UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5 (I'm using 5.5.4)
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.
Yesterday was Chun-li's birthday! So here's some animations I've been working on for when it's Chun's turn to get added to Pocket Fighter EX. (plus a bonus SF6 sprite!)
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.
