ANNOUNCEMENT POST

I want to thank everyone who've worked on engine and demos, especially Tim, for making these decisions, that changed the world of media! Thank you so much 🎄

Simon's explanation of the metaverse @58:40 was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Eloquently, wonderfully put. I think the reason Epic understands why the metaverse needs to be developed openly and transparently is because that's how they develop their own software ecosystem.

Thank you for bringing all the good stuff throughout the year.

Have a good one.

Thanks to all the developers from Epic Games for developing new ideas, there was a lot of interesting and exciting content this year.

[danniswrites]

Thanks all of you! I am very excited to learn Unreal Engine soon.

[AerixArtGames]

It’s been quite the year. I managed to learn so much I can’t even put into words, I’ve found numerous new ways to connect with the community and made new friends along the way in the industry. Despite being a solo dev, I’ve found them all to be supportive of my journey and likewise I to them. Participating in this year’s game jam, I learned a lot about solo dedication and the will of not giving up. I’m happy to say I made it, along with many others and I had such a memorable time then. Even in my good few years of solid experience it blows me away how much each year still consists of, I know there’s many more to come. To everyone at Epic and the Unreal Engine community - I say a grand thank you, and a happy holidays as well.

I just want to say ank ou ery ath. I am homeless but because of you guys I'm able to calculate math using my trusty computer using sign language, halleluja

I personally liked the explanation on allowing the developers to edit the city. Since I'm working and learning Unreal now I was already asking in my head how they can even go in to edit those types of maps with the graphic intensity.

One week to make a better Cyberpunk with UE5

Downloading the Demofile and manipulating the GI in realtime on my potato pc (i5, 8gb ram, gtx750 w 1gb vram) was my favorite moment of 2021 for computer stuff. Thank you Epic 🤘🏻

You can make a new terminator game with Unreal Engine 5, please with a nicer atmosphere, terminator game would be awesome.

[tomoprime]

Tim are you saying Fortnite is already working towards a friendly Metaverse? 😉

[LasagnyaMcMeatsauce]

I want epic to give Unreal the Doom 2016 treatment. I'm talking about the original Unreal co-developed with digital extremes.
