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!)

The wavy background effect can do both directions, even at the same time. (FPS is low because it's playing in Editor.)

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!

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.)

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

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.

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

I updated the 1-Up sprite to increase visibility in game. The face now shines with the shimmer. #pixelart #gamedev #megaman

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.

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!!
