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.

Enhancements to the After Image system are working good. It accepts Palette Sprites now, among all sorts of other features. 🌈 #UnrealEngine #gamedev

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

(60fps version in replies.)

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

Cooking today. Proof of concept to Increment and Decrement ANY UEnum;

ie. ValueA -> ValueB -> ValueC -> ValueD -> (wrap to) ValueA

For UEnum Assets AND CPP defined UEnums, whether you own/control them or not.

🔊ON! Finally got around to making a proper Music system in #UnrealEngine5. Utilizing MetaSounds for seamless and easy to configure loop points. Plus you can preload a track to prevent loading time gaps, and it is async to prevent frame stuttering.

I often wonder what Mega Man Xtreme sprites would look like with a few little touch ups... #megaman #pixelart #megamanx #rockmanx

Working on Sprite After Images supporting more features like Sprite Palettes.

It's kinda beautiful honestly

#UnrealEngine

Mega Man Xtreme... Enhanced? Made just for fun. Tweaked frames, timing, added color, new frames, etc. Nothing too crazy, but I'm happy with the results! Felt therapeutic to make. #megamanx #pixelart

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