BIG ANNIVERSARY UPDATE!!

It's been a very difficult year. The paralysis, which I am still recovering from, and the medical bankruptcy that followed. In spite of that progress was made, maybe not as much as I'd like, but look!

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

@JerielBonilla wanted Symphony Of The Night. Well, there ya go! 😁 #Castlevania #WiseDrums

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!

Added the "Charge Attack". Just hold the Attack button for a bit and release. Kinda works like Megaman's charged buster. Different weapons have different charge attacks. I enjoyed making the particles and shader effects! #screenshotsaturday

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

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

Castlevania: Death

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.
