Light work today on combining a piece of data and a checkbox. Unreal can't do this through C++ templates so I had to manually make a variant for each data type. Made it for several universal Blueprint data types.

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

This Linux tool Dev Toolbox is really handy! Has all sorts of convenient converters, encoders, image format changer, colorblind preview, color utiities, etc.

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.

I did an experiment to get an improvement to sprite rotation quality while maintaining the retro vibe, in Unreal Engine.

I works with any type of 3D transformed object too. And it still respects the scanlines, so it will fit in correctly with CRT filters.

More progress on proper Retro-Style Ledge behavior for Capsule bodies. Why is it important? Capsules offer great slope navigation, but bad Ledge behavior. Proper Ledge behavior is essential for Retro jump precision and consistency. #UnrealEngine

This is a general #UnrealEngine tool, not specifically for the Mega Man project. It can copy the data from ANY Blueprint or C++ UPROPERTY variable, and copy it back to any compatible variable. Could lead to making Save States for Rollback Netcode.

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!

Working on a different feature enabled easy Zoom controls for the Retro Camera system. This will be used for debug mainly, and may not have any in game uses for this project. But it can be used for future projects. #MegaMan #UnrealEngine

Making more progress on 2D Retro-Style ledge behavior for Capsule bodies in Unreal Engine 5. #gamedev #megaman
