Unless we get into AIT we'll probably end up doing an unofficial side bracket at the BYOC. #ComboBreaker is a 24 hour venue, so what do people think about us getting weird with it and doing something late at night? Midnight Knockdown?

I have booked travel to Combo Breaker #CB2026.

I don't plan to run a booth or table this time, but I have applied for an All In Together side tournament for Mega Knockdown and may bring a setup to the Bring Your Own Console area. I'll bring some stickers and stuff too.

Send this Mega Knockdown themed card to your valentine. Or don't. probably you should not.

Each frame of character animation in Mega Knockdown actually contains (at least) two hand drawn sprites, layered on top of each other. One sprite has lineart with shading, and it is placed on top of a flats layer that gets mapped to the character's color palette by a color swap shader. #gamedev
