Experimenting with Screen Shake and vibration causing Mega Man to loose some footing.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

(I didn't save, so I'm cooked for this playthrough.)

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!

Castlevania: Death

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