Here's a fun weekend post. A while back I tried to animate Ryu in his new Street Fighter 6 costume in NeoGeo Pocket Color style. I quite like the result! (This will NOT be featured as a costume in PFEX though, I did it just for fun.)

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.)

This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

I made Nodes to combine functionality for better aesthetics, variety, & (hopefully) performance.

Details & Benchmark in reply!

"Hey Marc, how's rollback netcode coming for Pocket Fighter EX?" ............. At least it's holding 60fps?...

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.

You can mark Macro nodes as *Development Only* but they STILL GET CALLED IN SHIPPING?!

#UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5 (I'm using 5.5.4)

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.

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

(I didn't save, so I'm cooked for this playthrough.)
