We just released "Unreal Materials: New Features & Productivity Enhancements", where my coworker @shedoesartstuff.bsky.social shows off a bunch of quality-of-life improvements to the Material Editor in UE in 5.6/5.7, alongside new and upcoming features. #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYmd...

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. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji0H...

A great talk by Alexis Argyriou from Unreal Fest Bali about performant lighting in UE on various hardware. #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1wh...

"Getting Started in the Games Industry" is my story of how I entered the game development industry, how I moved from mobile to console games, and how I got my job at Epic Games. With practical advice to the new generation of game makers entering the industry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai3Q...

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! dev.epicgames.com/community/le...

I'm so honored to kick off the @wlovegames.bsky.social conference as the keynote speaker ❤️ My talk, "Getting Started in the Games Industry," is a deeply personal story of how I got into the industry, and how that translates into practical lessons for the new generation of game makers.

We just uploaded FORTY NINE presentation recordings from Unreal Fest Bali, and there's some top-notch content in there 🤩 Check them out here 👇 www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We've been uploading a bunch of Unreal Fest talks to our Unreal Engine YouTube channel, such as this one from Tanglewood about taking the pain out of engine upgrades 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMEl...

It was great to open for The Big Screen Gaming summit at Pocket Gamer Connects 🤘 "Hi from Helsinki!"

We've just added an excellent article on optimizing Chaos in Unreal Engine, with lots of engine internals demystified 👀👇 #uetips dev.epicgames.com/community/le...

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 🤔

Episode 21 of AnsweRED Podcast with Ari Arnbjörnsson, Senior Software Engineer, Developer Relations at Epic Games talks connecting art and programming, how much courage it takes to ask questions, and more! 🎧 YouTube: cdpred.ly/AnsweREDPodc... 🎧 Spotify: cdpred.ly/AnsweREDpodc...

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 😯

If you see this dialog in your Unreal Engine project, click Install. At Epic Games, we now ensure that the preferred toolchains for the current engine version are listed in the Visual Studio solution. #uetips

This is how my game dev journey started. When I was 15, I got a trial version of Flash, created this short with my friend on his computer, and submitted it to newgrounds.com. It scored 2.06 out of 5 😄 And now I work at Epic Games! 😮 What ignited your game dev career?

Even though there will be many Epic folks at Unreal Fest, I'm also excited to meet the community people! Like when I ran into @gamedevmicah.bsky.social in Orlando 🤩

Update: The PSOCacheBuster plugin now implements a fix: github.com/Flassari/PSOCacheBuster

Did you know that the Unreal Engine EULA does not mandate you to show the UE logo at the start of your game? If you want to use it, you actually need to ask us for permission to show it. You only need to credit UE in your credits, per unrealengine.com/eula.

⚠️ Driver-cached PSO file extensions recently changed in an Nvidia driver update, meaning that the -ClearPSODriverCache UE startup parameter (and my PSO Cache Buster plugin) does nothing in UE versions older than 5.6 😱 Fix in 🧵

Three weeks until Unreal Fest Stockholm! It's your chance to meet your heroes 🤩 Like when I ran into Ben Board! Most UE licensees have probably interacted with this legend. Indies might have heard of some of the things he's worked on, like Bullfrog games and Fable! 😯

In the latest episode of AnsweRED Podcast, we sat down with Ari Arnbjörnsson from Epic Games to talk about creativity, community, and the connections that push our industry forward. 📃 Read the article here: cdpred.ly/podcast_21_a... 🎬 Watch the full episode on YouTube: cdpred.ly/AnsweREDPodc...

I had a great time on the @cdprojektred.com podcast! We talked about Unreal, sharing knowledge, impostor syndrome, and lots of other topics near and dear to my heart ❤️ Thanks for having me over Sebastian and Pawel!

Less than a month until Unreal Fest Stockholm and I'm so excited! Did you know that Unreal Fests are packed with awesome famous people? I can't believe I got to meet @theunwisetina.bsky.social in person 🤩

Hiding behind the stage while the intro video plays, waiting for my cue to jump out singing 🎵😄

Whoa, I ran into Victor Brodin! He's famous 🤩 Attending Unreal Fest is such a great opportunity to meet cool people from Epic and the Unreal community. Only one month until Stockholm!

Killing hitches is hard work, but someone's gotta do it 🏹

Shanghai was amazing! 🤩 I'm excited to have recruited the biggest group of hitch hunters yet 💪🏹

Unreal Fest Stockholm is sold out! 😯 Looking forward to meeting all the Epic folks. I heard Arjan Brussee himself is going to be there! He's famous! 🤩

The great thing about attending Unreal Fest in person is running into your heroes! I found @mattoztalay.bsky.social in Orlando, and he will apparently also be at Unreal Fest Stockholm this September. We still have some tickets left, get yours here! unrealengine.com/events/unreal-fest-stockholm-2025

I ran into the Hitch Hunter General himself at Unreal Fest Orlando 🏹 The Hitch Hunt goes strong, but we need all hands on deck! Join the hunt at epic.gm/HitchHunt

Do you want to guest star in my Unreal Fest Europe presentation "101 UE Tips and Tricks"? I'm looking for the community's favorite #UETips! Record a short video of your favorite tip and submit it via this link. I might include it in my slides 😀 epicgames.ent.box.com/f/d338fb079a... Example:

The Great Hitch Hunt video is now available! Share it with your teammates, recruit your friends, let's rid our industry of those hitches once and for all! #uetips #unrealfest www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaVT...

The Great Hitch Hunt is going strong! I found a bunch of Hitch Hunters at @cdprojektred.com joining the hunt. Or should I call them "Hitchers"? 😄 "Kill the hitch!"

The Great Hitch Hunt is upon us! I found a bunch of Hitch Hunters at the #FirstPlayable conference to join the hunt. "Kill the hitch!"

I'm so happy that @digitalfoundry.bsky.social joined my "Great Hitch Hunt" presentation. Digital Foundry, Epic Games, and game developers alike all share the same goal: smooth, hitch-free gameplay for the players. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3vk...

If ya'll haven't seen our cameo in Unreal Fest, check it out. The whole presentation is stellar. www.youtube.com/live/AjgxaDR...

The Great Hitch Hunt continues. I found a lot of Hitch Hunters at WB Games ready to join the fight. "Kill the hitch!"

The outro of "The Great Hitch Hunt" unfortunately got cut off during the live stream. But no worries, here it is in all its glory! Music by @stephanrueb.bsky.social 🤘 #UnrealFest

Missed "The Great Hitch Hunt" at Unreal Fest? You can see it right now from the livestream recording (mind the timestamp 6h51m21s) #UEFest #UETips www.youtube.com/live/AjgxaDR...

Digital Foundry are quite the hitch hunters, they share my mission for hitch-free games for all so I'm happy they were up for joining me on The Great Hitch Hunt ❤️
