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 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

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.

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

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.)

On the off chance that the new #KOFXV character was Kasumi, I colored her KOFR2 sprite. That wasn't the case, but I figured I would share it anyway. #NGPC #KOF #NeoGeo

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

I am very sad today because Rocky has been missing for 5 days now... He normally comes inside every day and sleeps with us... In the picture: Kirby - Rudy - Rocky

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!!

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