Summary of Unreal Fest 2022

Now that Unreal Fest 2022 has wrapped up, we’d like to share some recommendations from our team members who took part! After attending plenty of interesting panels and presentations, they’ve created a list of their favorites, which are available to watch for free. We also asked our team to share their thoughts for those interested in attending the conference in the future.

Thank you to Colin Walder , Piotr Tomsiński , Marcin Chady , Paweł Kowalski , and Andrzej Uszakow for sharing your insights! In no particular order, here are the presentations that impressed them the most.

TOPIC: MAXIMIZING YOUR GAME'S PERFORMANCE IN UNREAL ENGINE        

💡About: It covers fundamental approaches to profiling that everyone should know through a practical lens, and walks though examples. The profiling tools in UE5 look very useful! Link to the recording: click HERE

I was impressed both by the organization of the event and the atmosphere created; there were lots of opportunities for interesting discussions and knowledge sharing. — Colin Walder

TOPIC: WORKING WITH DATA IN UNREAL ENGNE 5        

💡About: It covers the most important data containers and presents use cases. It's a nice summary of what's available in Unreal Engine.
