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

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!

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.

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

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

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!

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

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

If Time is paused for any Actor that uses my #UnrealEngine5 Time Control system, all of their SFX also automatically pause.

I can put Actors into Time Groups. In this example the Parent Time Source for "Gameplay" is paused, so 'everything' pauses.

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

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.
