The weather was finally suitable to take Kirby outside on the leash for the first time.

Bud was hanging out outside too.

Managed to figure out how to apply palettes to low color sprites in #UnrealEngine5. The flashing ones are randomizing their palettes every frame.

Still working on an easy to edit palette data system, but it works!!

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 🤣

3 years before Pocket Fighter EX I made a sprite of Kazuya in Pocket style. I touched it up just a little bit for this post.

It's Sakura's birthday??

I did this one for fun a few years back. #streetfighter #sakura #pixelart #NeoGeoPocket

Ryu from #SF6   in NeoGeo Pocket Color+ Style! I really love Ryu's new look!

This is why Nibbler got his name lol.

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.

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.

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!)
