As usual I am extremely short on time so my website updates lag behind some, but there are tons of things happening. I will post a yearly recap towards Christmas. The Solus Project has been doing really well. Not only was the game part of the Microsoft E3 press conference and was it playable at the Xbox booth, it was also at the Xbox booth at EGX and Gamescom, and we just today announced it will be one of the first games to be part of the Xbox Preview program, as well as Steam Early around the first 2 months of 2016!  … Read More

For the next two weeks I will be streaming on a nearly daily basis. Feel free to join in and ask me any questions on how what I am doing and how I built things! For the time being no voice, as I don't want to be talking for 8 hours long every day, but I monitor the chat and might pick up voice chat soon. Read More

I returned from an awesome two weeks in the US. It was an awesome experience to be at GDC, especially on behalf of Epic Games, and see from up close how much organization, work, and passion goes into running a show that big. I've met tons of people, some of them who I had been talking to for over a decade without having ever, and it was great to finally meet everyone face to face. And also, thanks to a partnership with Tobii, I had The Solus Project in the main expo hall at GDC as well!   Read More

You can find me at or near the Unreal Engine booth most of the time, or alternatively reach out to me via email ( me@hourences.com) or Twitter. Lastly, Epic Games is throwing a party Wednesday… Read More

Following up on my post of yesterday, and since "if it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing", here is part 2. I went through all the levels I have ever done in the Unreal Engine, and I added up all the actor/mesh/brush/light counts. I still have about 75% of all levels I ever made, and of the remaining 25% I still have a good idea of how complex they were. So I took the accurate numbers of 75% of my levels, and then extrapolated from those to get the estimated numbers for the remaining 25% based. I then added up 30% to the total to take into account all test levels, levels that were never released,… Read More
