Squad News

[h2]Hello Squaddies![/h2]

Today, we have something a little different for you all! Squad Partner Slay3Kilo came to us with the idea of presenting some of the more technical aspects of the Unreal Engine 5 update to help the community better understand some of the work that our team is putting in behind the scenes!

Slay3Kilo and Norby, our Director of Technology (and a Founder of Offworld), get into the nitty gritty of a whole slew of topics, including:

• UE5 as a Toolkit.
  
• Key focus areas.
  
• High-level goals for the transition.
  
• Nanite technology.
  
• Lighting improvements, including our custom Global Illumination system.
  
• Anti-Aliasing.
  

Stick around throughout the video to also get some first looks at UE5 gameplay, recorded during some of our most recent closed testing!

You can find the video on Slay3Kilos channel, or watch here:

We hope you enjoy the video! Let us know in the comments on Slay's channel if you would like to see more Dev Blogs in this format!

PS - News on Open Playtesting is around the corner. Stay frosty, Squaddies.
