[Sagnamenn]

Thank you for making our dreams possible as indie filmmakers and world builders.

[studiozd]

Everyone delivered such amazing top notch work! Thanks for everything Epic :)

[JayzBOT]

This is all so amazing! So excited for the future

[SamuelHale-fkij]

Hope we are getting UE5.4 soon so that the Static Navmesh isn`t broken on World partition..

[JuanCamiloAcostaArango]

Motion matching free project!!!
Hell Yeah!!!!

[vulcand]

Just remember that the awesome Unreal 5 games will come out when Unreal 6 is released.

[wickerxman]

moved to Unreal from Unity last year and it's been a pleasure to use

[OliverHamilton]

I'm just wanting a new Unreal Tournament. It's time.

[No_Blessse]

unbelievable, your work is just amazing, thank for all

[jasonrussell]

This is what collaboration can achieve. If only we could collaborate like this for advancing humanity, the world would be an amazing place.

[MatMicMarGaming]

This is all so incredible, I need to make something with this.

[stephencurah]

All the new features look amazing, I really need to spend some time getting better at using UE

[oqrkblg]

its very informative prospective session on upcoming developments of UE

[Shrooblord]

OK _Rise of Hydra_ looks freaking amazing. And just the kind of story I'm interested in exploring from Marvel.
I'm here mostly for the animation and ControlRig stuff -- looks like a huge improvement to the toolset. But dang, the procedural stuff and so many other things had me excited laughing. Fun things coming from Epic and _Unreal Engine_ soon!!

[sethg]

They give the Fortnite UGC community the CRAZIEST tools to make INSANE products. Yet, the only thing high on the Fortnite homepage is just slop.

Love these tools, but there should be a way to elevate experiences based on quality!

[legenderry]

So this whole thing is just about UEFN? Barely any unreal Engine info... Excited about the new animation system though..

[rawlgeorge]

Dune should have been a single player story driven game, maybe open world but not necessarily, not this online crafting survival poop

[OfficialJoovely]

Crono Studio and Crono Odyssey has financial problem and ownership risk where the company has no sustainable potential or willingness to make long term growth rather the company is eager to sell the company with high risk of inside issues so please do investigate why Gran saga was so unsuccessful due to its intrisic weakness including lack of CEO's capabilities.

[mikeligammare]

The level of detail in 1943 and Dune are insane, but how the hell do they optimize that? That's something I wish they would talk about more.
