Potato laptop testing for the (unoptimized) prototype. I got this dog water Chromebook with me while we're at the hospital away from home. Side loaded Kubuntu 25, runs on Wine way better than I expected given these specs. 60fps might be possible!

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!

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

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.

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

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 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

I always wondered, what if Super Mario Land was on the NES? Land was very much in the vibe of Super Mario Bros. 1.

It was way more difficult than I expected to balance Mario's browns against all the desert colors. #pixelart #mario

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 got unreasonably mad at combining text in C++ Macros, so I made this lol. I'm honestly surprised it works.
