“Unreal’s retargeting and rigging tools gave us a flexible animation pipeline. Here we created over 150 emotes and item interactions that bring out every Taskling’s personality!”

“Using the Material Editor with Vertex Colors meant we didn’t need to unwrap or texture 99% of our assets, saving thousands of hours. It also gave us the freedom to recolor cosmetics and props instantly, streamlining the entire art pipeline."

“Developing Task Time entirely in Blueprints let us lean into Unreal’s visual scripting at scale. We’ve built systems that handle thousands of dynamic objects and developed over 500,000 mini-game variations”

Hear from @SamReadGraves, creator of ReadGraves, for a behind-the-scenes look at how @TaskTimeGame used Unreal Engine Blueprints, Material Editor, EOS, and more to bring the gameshow-inspired competitive party game to life. Check out the game and join the playtest! 🧵

I also used assets from the Wasteland Environment by Leartes Studios, which is available on Fab." - Patrick van Rooijen

“UE5 gave us the freedom to focus on the fun parts of game development, and remove a lot of barriers a small team like ours would otherwise face. We hope players will feel the same fun we had when they get to play GODBREAKERS on the 23rd of October!”

“Unreal Insights is a great tool and really enabled us to reach 60 fps on all platforms, including Steam Deck. It helped us hit one of our main goals of having smooth and responsive combat at all times.”

“Niagara is a powerful tool that allows us to create striking VFX that fits our stylized look. With the flexibility given by custom modules we could take the VFX to where we really wanted it to be, while still being performant.”

“Lumen's real time lighting is perfect for procedurally generated worlds where baked lighting wouldn't give us the results we wanted. Lumen has saved us a lot of time while also increasing visual fidelity, and we like that what you see is what you get.”
