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.

This tweet from a mutual got my optimization psychopathy going.

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

Where are we...?

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

ue 5 with no rtx and no lumen (wip)

Apparently you can soft-lock Mega Man & Bass

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

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

(60fps version in replies.)

I will not rejoice at what happened to the project. literally there was a new atmosphere. I also made almost all the textures of the resolution, and also some reworked. I will transfer some assets, because they are bad.

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!
