GAME OVER: April 2022

Unreal Engine 5 officially launched for developers not working on Fortnite in April.

Thanks to its new advances in game development technology, and a broadening of scope at the Epic Games campus, good looking video games and television VFX could now be achieved more easily than ever before.

We love a good LED AR wall alien planet or spaceship over here at the MCV/DEVELOP office, so we’re mostly excited to see if its proprietary technology tools like Nanite and Lumen will eventually be used to make all of the new Doctor Who and Star Trek on the way as pretty as Star Wars series The Mandalorian. We can only hope.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
