I'm feeling very bad this week so there may not be many updates on things.

Last week I did boost the efficiency of Mega Man Rulers of Space prototype by like 15%!

Still working on the Simon and Nathan sprite rips. Simon is almost done I think.

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.

I went looking for custom Steam images for SteamOS Devkit Client, but there wasn't a satisfactory Grid for it, so I made one

Working on Sprite After Images supporting more features like Sprite Palettes.

It's kinda beautiful honestly

#UnrealEngine

Enhancements to the After Image system are working good. It accepts Palette Sprites now, among all sorts of other features. 🌈 #UnrealEngine #gamedev

I often wonder what Mega Man Xtreme sprites would look like with a few little touch ups... #megaman #pixelart #megamanx #rockmanx

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.

Are you doing unnecessary work when calling Delegates in #UnrealEngine?

I wrote an article about this small topic since I was dealing with it recently (it's free to read!) Includes examples and fancy Macros.

Mega Man Xtreme... Enhanced? Made just for fun. Tweaked frames, timing, added color, new frames, etc. Nothing too crazy, but I'm happy with the results! Felt therapeutic to make. #megamanx #pixelart

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!
