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!!

It was difficult to snap a good angle, but the new stray's ear is always scrunched like that. So my wife ended up naming him Scrunchie. Sorry to everyone who volunteered a name 😅 It is fitting for him though!

Most didn't realize that part of the colorization specification was maintaining 100% backwards compatibility with the original NeoGeo Pocket 3-Color look via palette swap only. I enforced this by mandating every new sprite to be made *first* in 3-Color.

Junior came in and sat with me for a while at the desk. He's a good boy, and very friendly. I was cleaning my WiiU Pro controller, because it was dropping inputs, but that didn't fix it...

God's stinkiest goblin, helping me rest.

Kirby seems like he's not growing much now? Maybe he'll be tiny forever.

3 years before Pocket Fighter EX I made a sprite of Kazuya in Pocket style. I touched it up just a little bit for this post.

I officially joined the April Fighting Game Game Jam on Itch, hosted by people I know.

I got some of my friends, Pocket Fighter EX crew, and others, together to make a demo!

More details & Updates

Junior and Kirby visiting me together in the computer room today.

I'm starting to feel more healed from the game jam crunch. I have to plan what's next soon.

Project(s) & Health Update

I'm alive! I have been resting a lot after the brutal game jam crunch... We didn't make the deadline, but the team is very invested and determined, so we'll finish the demo-

I failed to make the FGC GameJam deadline but I am VERY proud the work the team did. We have decided to finish the demo anyway, after some rest 😵‍💫
