2014 was my 15th anniversary of what I do, and was also my most intense year of the past 15 years. When I started doing this 15 years ago I had no idea it would lead to all of this.

  • Visited 50+ game studios
  • Created 20 hours of UE4 tutorial videos
  • Contracted by 5 studios for UE development work

    I am back in Sweden now and had a most awesome time in the US at Epic Games! I dare say the coolest professional week I've experienced so far in my career. It was really cool to finally meet all the people at Epic who I've worked with/talked to/was in the community with over all these years. Left with a very positive impression of the US, and that region also. Offered very nice quality of life it seemed. My talk at the Epic Twitch stream last Thursday

    As part of my visit to Epic, and given it has been a while, I am releasing another set of free Solus overview videos, 1.5 hours in length! Giving you a look in how it is progressing, and highlighting a couple of cool features or setups. Also, not directly related to Unreal, but I also put up a video on my rock generation process. Several people have asked me to go over that again, a bit slower. So there you go.

    I returned home last Friday night from a crazy week in the south of Sweden. Here is what happened: Solus Receives Funding Solus received 55 000 USD in funding from the Nordic Game Program. This was the second time I applied for Nordic Game Program funding, and the second time it was awarded to us. We previously received 45 000 USD for the development of The Ball in 2010.
