Next up
Weekend night hang out with the stray kitties on the porch. That's Rocky (Rockman), Junior, and Rocky again.
I'm doing Unreal Engine research on my potato laptop, in the fresh nighttime air.
(A Chromebook jail broken with Linux on it. Runs amazing!)
Found this in the closet, it has to be my wife's lmao. I need another desk mat so this will do for now I guess 🤣
Would it be interesting if I participated in this Game Jam? "Starting March 31, 2026 and ending May 1 2026, you have one month to make a fighting game." https://itch.io/jam/fighting-game-versus-jam-2026 I would be using Unreal Engine, with a small team of friends.
Most didn't realize that part of the colorization specification was maintaining 100% backwards compatibility with the original NeoGeo Pocket 3-Color look via palette swap only. I enforced this by mandating every new sprite to be made *first* in 3-Color.
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!
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.
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.
Going to try and setup for Streaming & Recording on Kubuntu (a kind of Linux).
Wish me luck lol. I've got a lot of audio hardware to get working...
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.
