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

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!

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.

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

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

(60fps version in replies.)

This marks the official start of the enhanced port of Ecto-Rush! The second game of Skylance Studio is getting a re-release & upgrade this year! Targeting PC and Mobile. I'll post more progress videos as things continue. #gamedev #arcade

The Ecto-Rush Early Access Special Demo is OUT! Give it a try! It's a teaser of what's to come.

This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

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

Details & Benchmark in reply!

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

(I didn't save, so I'm cooked for this playthrough.)

Things are coming along, slow but sure! Looking to put up a very early access teaser demo this coming week.
