Most didn't realize that part of the colorization specification was maintaining 100% backwards compatibility with the original NeoGeo Pocket 3-Color look via palette swap only. I enforced this by mandating every new sprite to be made *first* in 3-Color.

Been going 200%, but I have so much left to do to make the one month Fighting Game Game-Jam deadline...

Would it be interesting if I participated in this Game Jam? "Starting March 31, 2026 and ending May 1 2026, you have one month to make a fighting game." https://itch.io/jam/fighting-game-versus-jam-2026 I would be using Unreal Engine, with a small team of friends.

NeoGeo Pocket Color collections just went on mega sale on Steam.

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.

It's so cold today, it sucks! I want to sit outside a bit with Kirby.

He is on the couch next to me right now. He loves that little stick I brought inside for him lol.

I officially joined the April Fighting Game Game Jam on Itch, hosted by people I know.

I got some of my friends, Pocket Fighter EX crew, and others, together to make a demo!

More details & Updates

I am very sad today because Rocky has been missing for 5 days now... He normally comes inside every day and sleeps with us... In the picture: Kirby - Rudy - Rocky

I got unreasonably mad at combining text in C++ Macros, so I made this lol. I'm honestly surprised 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.
