Been going 200%, but I have so much left to do to make the one month Fighting Game Game-Jam deadline...

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.

More Game Jam progress. I had to remake the basic 2D alignment system cause I did it wrong... It's a bit more complex than it seems, since it is made for 2.5D. I can now easily add lock-on, and other location based features. #gamedev

I revived my childhood NES controller, with the (Nintendo Power?) decal still on it. Affordable 25$ 8bitdo reversible wireless mod. Works great, no lag.

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 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

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

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.)

On the off chance that the new #KOFXV character was Kasumi, I colored her KOFR2 sprite. That wasn't the case, but I figured I would share it anyway. #NGPC #KOF #NeoGeo

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.
