Junior came in and sat with me for a while at the desk. He's a good boy, and very friendly. I was cleaning my WiiU Pro controller, because it was dropping inputs, but that didn't fix it...

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

Project(s) & Health Update

I'm alive! I have been resting a lot after the brutal game jam crunch... We didn't make the deadline, but the team is very invested and determined, so we'll finish the demo-

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

Was backing up files off the drive from the PC where Windows 10 wouldn't boot anymore before I wipe it. It said it was gonna take 4 more hours So I started a download for Unreal Engine 5.6 to run in the mean time then I went to take a nap with my buddy.

It was difficult to snap a good angle, but the new stray's ear is always scrunched like that. So my wife ended up naming him Scrunchie. Sorry to everyone who volunteered a name 😅 It is fitting for him though!

God's stinkiest goblin, helping me rest.

Kirby seems like he's not growing much now? Maybe he'll be tiny forever.

I failed to make the FGC GameJam deadline but I am VERY proud the work the team did. We have decided to finish the demo anyway, after some rest 😵‍💫

Junior and Kirby visiting me together in the computer room today.

I'm starting to feel more healed from the game jam crunch. I have to plan what's next soon.

This is an example of what I was talking about last week when I say that Physics Boxes in modern engines are not good for Character Alignment on Slopes in 2D games. I think Physics Capsules are a great middle ground solution. #gamedev #pixelart
