*Incoming 2023 Epic MegaJam–Save the date!* The time for the 2023 Epic MegaJam is almost upon us! Our next annual game jam event will kick off on September 14 at 2 PM Eastern with Unreal Editor for Fortnite submissions accepted for the first time ever! *Unreal Fest 2023 registration now open!* Unreal Fest 2023, coming to New Orleans October 3rd through 5th. We'll cover every part of the Epic Ecosystem in more than 200 talks and training sessions. Join 2,000 devs and creators and get your ticket today. *How the three-person team behind Laysara: Summit Kingdom found a new spin on city-builders* we caught up with Quite OK Games, the indie studio behind mountainside city builder Laysara: Summit Kingdom. Join us as they talk about how Unreal Engine and other tools keep it ahead of the game development avalanche. *Philosopher* Artist Cheng Chan’s latest work is a spectacularly composed food-for-thought piece featuring the cutest mechanical friend. *The View* Ever since the Electric Dreams Environment dropped, Digital Modeler and Animator Shamel Haydar have been tinkering with it to make it work for their sci-fi-inspired scene. They even rebuilt the entire lighting setup to fit their needs and directed every shot to bring their vision to life. *DRM | Concept Cinematic Short Film* This week’s third spotlight comes courtesy of Film Director and Cinematographer Cameron Ward and their first project completed with Unreal Engine–which is a fantastical cinematic short-film masterpiece oozing dreams, memories, and fantasies of the individual self.
