This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

I made Nodes to combine functionality for better aesthetics, variety, & (hopefully) performance.

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

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!

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

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

(60fps version in replies.)

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!!

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.)

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

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.

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
