Electric Dreams | UE5 GDC 2023
Hey everyone, it was awesome to have the opportunity to work on Electric Dreams. What an honor to work with an incredible team coupled with the latest tech in UE5 to push the cutting edge of real-time gameplay. My tasking specifically was to help the creative and discovery process unfold for creating the jungle.
The project took on a life of its own once we realized how well foliage was being rendered with Lumen and Nanite in real-time. On top of that the level grew and evolved in a way we couldn't have imagined with the introduction of PCG.
Once we had the "stage" of the jungle built, augmenting the overall experience and playing with new ideas was a blast because we had a solid foundation of a "world" that just worked!
My hope is artists, devs, and new users to UE5 will get inspired by Electric Dreams and push their own work to the next level.
The Sample project is out now! Check it out!
