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.

Castlevania Circle of the Moon misspelled Tonfas as "Tonfers" lol. Anyway, this is what the sprites look like. I'll release the full Nathan sprite rip when everything is completed. There's a lot of variants, it's a lot of work!

The item animations stay in sync always, no matter where, when, or how many spawn.

(60fps version in replies.)

@JerielBonilla wanted Symphony Of The Night. Well, there ya go! 😁 #Castlevania #WiseDrums

A preview of the Poison Claws for Nathan's sprite rip. It's interesting how the base sprite has a placeholder yellow shape where the weapon is meant to be overlayed in game.

Added the "Charge Attack". Just hold the Attack button for a bit and release. Kinda works like Megaman's charged buster. Different weapons have different charge attacks. I enjoyed making the particles and shader effects! #screenshotsaturday

BIG ANNIVERSARY UPDATE!!

It's been a very difficult year. The paralysis, which I am still recovering from, and the medical bankruptcy that followed. In spite of that progress was made, maybe not as much as I'd like, but look!

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

Castlevania: Death

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