OMG I love it. That’s so friggen cool. How are you working with them?
I’m actually trying to get a job w Epic Games here in Detroit. They just opened up an office, which is mostly centered around the auto industry, but man I’d kill to get into this space formally/professionally. I’m building out a full RPG right now in an attempt to get super well acquainted / demonstrate competency w the UE.
Truthfully, the whole experience has been a big reality check. I was so spoiled with the awesome Sketchup community that I assumed that people were responsive/helpful in other software communities. Not really the case - like I don’t think anyone has ever replied to any comments I’ve made or questions I’ve asked in the Unreal Forums. You’re just sort of on your own. Teaching yourself how to do things is a lot harder with UE compared to SketchUp. Especially when you are trying to do something atypical.
That said, they do have some great and super in depth tutorials online that really let you create on a whole new level. Often they are made with older versions of the engine though, so you have to spend a LOT of time problem solving when things don’t work as they do in the tutorial lol. So far I’ve been able to figure it all out though.
I wanna go to Basecamp this coming year SO BAD. I started the application for the scholarship, but haven’t submitted it yet. Got super sidetracked. Hopefully I didn’t miss the deadline.
