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.

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.

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

I found unreleased dev footage!

WIP Rugal 98 stage. Rugal was going to be the Arcade boss. Also notice the bubbles spawning during knockdown events! #gamedev #streetfighter #KOF

(This game is cancelled because Unity Engine betrayed all of it's devs.)

"Hey Marc, how's rollback netcode coming for Pocket Fighter EX?" ............. At least it's holding 60fps?...

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.

Yesterday was Chun-li's birthday! So here's some animations I've been working on for when it's Chun's turn to get added to Pocket Fighter EX. (plus a bonus SF6 sprite!)

On the off chance that the new #KOFXV character was Kasumi, I colored her KOFR2 sprite. That wasn't the case, but I figured I would share it anyway. #NGPC #KOF #NeoGeo

I updated the 1-Up sprite to increase visibility in game. The face now shines with the shimmer. #pixelart #gamedev #megaman
