Kirby seems to understand what the Vest means now; That he can go outside.

It's Sakura's birthday??

I did this one for fun a few years back. #streetfighter #sakura #pixelart #NeoGeoPocket

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

Not an April Fool's joke, I got super sick. My wife had been super sick and I caught it, which I should have expected.

Sucks that this happens right at the start of the game jam, but I'll still try my best.

Anyway here's Bud, he came inside on his own!

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.

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!!

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

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

This is Old Boy. He's a grizzled older stray cat. He was reluctant about approaching for a long time. Recently he was limping and we gave him food. We were gentle with him and let him rest inside a few days. He got better and now comes around every day.
