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.

More After Image system enhancements for future project use. Trying out different blending modes, and mimicking a character after image like Mega Man X4's Dash trail. I think the results are pretty neat! #UnrealEngine #gamedev

Cooking today. Proof of concept to Increment and Decrement ANY UEnum;

ie. ValueA -> ValueB -> ValueC -> ValueD -> (wrap to) ValueA

For UEnum Assets AND CPP defined UEnums, whether you own/control them or not.

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

Are you doing unnecessary work when calling Delegates in #UnrealEngine?

I wrote an article about this small topic since I was dealing with it recently (it's free to read!) Includes examples and fancy Macros.

I often wonder what Mega Man Xtreme sprites would look like with a few little touch ups... #megaman #pixelart #megamanx #rockmanx

Enhancements to the After Image system are working good. It accepts Palette Sprites now, among all sorts of other features. 🌈 #UnrealEngine #gamedev

More #pixelart for fun, this time Zero! Enhanced his Mega Man XTreme 2 sprites with more colors and tweaks. He has too many damn details and colors 😵‍💫 (This is not being made into a real game.) #megamanx #megaman

LETS GO!! X3 has my favorite armor, so I felt like trying to make it for this "Xtreme Enhanced" 'style'. It was a lot of fun, and I think it came out alright!

(Note: this is not a game project, just #pixelart for fun.) #MegaMan

🔊ON! Finally got around to making a proper Music system in #UnrealEngine5. Utilizing MetaSounds for seamless and easy to configure loop points. Plus you can preload a track to prevent loading time gaps, and it is async to prevent frame stuttering.
