It's so cold today, it sucks! I want to sit outside a bit with Kirby.
He is on the couch next to me right now. He loves that little stick I brought inside for him lol.
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!!
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.
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!)
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.)
Started working on Fighting Game Game-Jam prep.
Got the Update on Demand System to the minimum feature level needed for the Jam. It strictly controls the Gameplay FPS & Processing, useful for Fighters (and Rollback Netcode).

It got warmer so Kirby and I went out.
I am now an Unreal Engine developer. Even if Unity Engine walks every word back how could anyone trust them again? Do we continue on where at any moment they can retroactively change the rules? I will not live under that fear. I'm done with them. Deets
I got unreasonably mad at combining text in C++ Macros, so I made this lol. I'm honestly surprised it works.
I officially joined the April Fighting Game Game Jam on Itch, hosted by people I know.

I got some of my friends, Pocket Fighter EX crew, and others, together to make a demo!
