Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

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

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.

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

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

The item animations stay in sync always, no matter where, when, or how many spawn.

(60fps version in replies.)

Are you doing unnecessary work when calling Delegates in #UnrealEngine?

I wrote an article about this small topic since I was dealing with it recently (it's free to read!) Includes examples and fancy Macros.

We've changed the target platform to MS-DOS. This cannot be undone. #gamedev

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.

Slide Brake by reversing direction, like many Mega Man games, but also PRESS UP to Slide Brake without changing direction! #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 #MegaMan

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