Did that Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer get your nostalgia running? Feel like getting it out of your system by creating something? Why not start with the Custom Gravity tutorial, it will make for a great base for tiny planet hopping!

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.

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 🤔

I couldn't even speak straight when I met the one, the only, the most FAMOUS @highlyspammable.bsky.social ! 🤩

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

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 😯

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?

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.

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! 😯
