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...

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

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

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.

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

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!

I always wondered, what if Super Mario Land was on the NES? Land was very much in the vibe of Super Mario Bros. 1.

It was way more difficult than I expected to balance Mario's browns against all the desert colors. #pixelart #mario

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.
