Fox Winters 🦊❄️

Unreal Fest Chicago is almost here and I’m genuinely looking forward to this one. Bummed out I can’t make it this year, so here’s a few thoughts on what’s to come. Tor Frick, an artist whose work I’ve admired for over 15 years at this point is speaking at State of Unreal this year, showing off what he’s been working on at NeonGiantGames, so I’m stoked for that alone. As for whats coming, I’m eager to hear about QOL upgrades to Unreal, FAB improvements and better tools for sellers (and buyers) on the platform. I’ve always been passionate about the evolution of 3D graphics, this year is less about pushing new tech and more about making what we already have a lot smoother to use. UE5 looks amazing as is. Yes we’re likely to see Unreal Engine 5.8 drop officially, and some news in regards to UE6, but what I am actually excited about is that this year’s State of Unreal is focused on tools and workflows devs can actually use. Less in the way of massive tech demoes showing off insane work, more grounded improvements that devs will actually benefit from, which just helps everyone. This is the kind of thing we need more of now.
