Launch Trailer | ARC Raiders
YouTube video by ARC Raiders Launch Trailer | ARC Raiders

I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches.
It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be:

(SECRET) Want to try some SPICY Draw Call Optimizations for Unreal Engine and UEFN?
I created a 20 minute demo/tutorial on COMBINED textures into a single material, using Per Instance Custom Data OR Primitive Component Data to select the Texture.
IM SAYING 1 NANITE DRAW CALL, AND ONE MATERIAL DRAW!

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video.

Feels pretty bad! Don't like it!

I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.
