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!

This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

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

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.

Which game from last week's Summer Game Fest are you most excited to play?

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

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

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.

When Dr Wily goes HARDSTYLE

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