Slide Brake by reversing direction, like many Mega Man games, but also PRESS UP to Slide Brake without changing direction! #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 #MegaMan

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.

Experimenting with Screen Shake and vibration causing Mega Man to loose some footing.

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

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

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

We've changed the target platform to MS-DOS. This cannot be undone. #gamedev

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.

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!

You can mark Macro nodes as *Development Only* but they STILL GET CALLED IN SHIPPING?!

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.
