Unreal Awaits: Moving your Sequel to Unreal Engine
Shipping a game is hard, whatever engine it was made in, but now might be time to reassess how you’re moving forward. In this special presentation Epic Games Senior Software Engineer Jack Condon will cover a wide range of Unreal Engine features and production callouts for teams that have shipped projects before with a holistic understanding of just what’s going to be needed to build something bigger.
The presentation will be followed by networking and light refreshments.

WHEN: Thursday 5 February, 10.30am to 12.00pm
WHERE: Game Plus, Level 2/44 Pirie St, Adelaide SA 5000
