We just published "The Road to 60 fps in The Witcher 4 UE5 Tech Demo", where you can see how we got 300+ moving characters and 100k+ fully modeled trees and scrubs running at 60fps on a base PS5.

Making Epic Presentations | Talks and demos Learn tips and tricks that can help you level up your presentation game, from the technical developer relations team at Epic Games.

I had a training session for the speakers of Unreal Fest Orlando on how to speak better, drawing on my own experience fumbling on stage for years.

I've now finally made a proper EDC article + video of it so anyone can learn to become a better speaker!

We're actually mirroring the vast majority of them since we introduced it (we're not mirroring old tickets since they might contain sensitive information).
We're severely limiting the number of private tickets studios get.

Haha, luckily UDN posts are now mirrored publicly on the Epic Developer Community once resolved.
But you're right, that's a recent change, and it was exclusive to custom licensees (which mostly AAAs could afford) before.

Game devs in AAA: What are some misconceptions or fun facts about your industry?

I'll start: We don't have exclusive learning resources; we're watching the same YouTube presentations and online tutorials as everyone else.

Words cannot describe how happy I am with the standing-room only crowd @mattoztalay.bsky.social and I got for a PROFILING talk! 😲

Huge thanks to Arctic Hazard and Tripwire Interactive for letting us show profiling data from their upcoming game, NORSE: Oath of Blood 🙏

Video recording coming soon!

Sometimes your heroes don't recognize you, and that's OK! Just be chill about it. Don't be like me when I met @timsweeneyepic.bsky.social. He's so famous! Uhm, do as I say, not as I do 😅

One week until Unreal Fest Stockholm! I'm so excited because I heard that Jack Condon will be there 🤩
Hmm, I wonder if I can get him to guest-cameo on stage with me 🤔

so many devs treat perf this way, like a series of unquantifiable acts of god

Profile.

I couldn't even speak straight when I met the one, the only, the most FAMOUS @highlyspammable.bsky.social ! 🤩
I think he even glanced my way *swoon* ❤️

Unreal Fest Stockholm is SO CLOSE! I can't wait to meet all the cool people there.

Looking forward to seeing some of y’all!

Late to an online meeting again? So embarrassing!
A 10-minute default heads-up is way too much time when I just need to join a Zoom.
Pro life hack: Go to the calendar settings and set the default notification time to 2 or even zero minutes. Never be late to an online meeting again!

Whoa, I ran into @phyronnaz.bsky.social in Orlando! He made the Voxel Plugin for Unreal!
So many cool people to run into at Unreal Fest. And it's only two weeks now until the next one in Stockholm 😯

Haha that's amazing!
