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.

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.

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

@Manuelaa requested this. I kidnapped her house.

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.

This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

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