Project Titan: Building An Open World Game in Public | Unreal Fest 2024

[@VirtualJunkie]

It was an awesome experience to participate, thank you Epic team and partners for this opportunity 🔥

[@tmanook]

Love the honest breakdown on how things went. Looking forward to the release of the project and related materials.

[@The_Asteroid_]

Unreal Engine itself is very titanically good 👍

[@NinjaSonar]

I feel the best thing that i hope will come out of this, is now they can see, firsthand, areas where they can beef up training materials to get people educated on best/better practices.

[@nickbrummer]

This project was a dream come true. Truly an incredible experience. Hopefully "DesertMageTower" area hasn't caused too much heartache in the cleanup process.

[@akif_akdemir]

Unreal Engine is perfect technology.

[@PavelAstafev-o3f]

I would like to express my gratitude once again to all participants of the titan project, and Arron and Sem in particular, it was an amazing experience, and I hope very much that in the future we will be waiting for something similar ! love you all guys

[@sanyi9667]

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to be part of this project! I really hope you guys will make another in the future

[@kevinbeardslee7587]

Similar to how we built World of Warcraft, 20 years ago. Nice work!

[@unrealhabitat]

Ohh my god... simply Unreal

[@0UTSIDER]

5 anim sequences ~1GB each, lol whoever did that is a nice troll

[@standlethemandle]

so when does it come out...? it's been almost 6 months since the project "wrapped"

[@charlescoxart245]

@4:12 You mention that you guys plan on releasing the tool when it ships. Will you be releasing the environment as a sample as well? I remember joining the project in the beginning and loving the starting landscape you guys initially created.

[@CausticCaterpillar]

I really wanted to participate in this.. sadly when I signed up about 2 weeks early, my account didn't get linked and I wasn't able to participate and there was no way for the people running the project to get the project link sent to me... hopefully they do something like this again

[@lukasjech9954]

probably not for next few years as it would mean throwing away the results of Titan because it's hard to manage multiple projects of this scale (and there will be updates to Titan done by Epic in upcoming unreal versions) .... but even so, I still hope there will be "Titan 2.0".

[@Droxcy]

Yeah, I signed up as soon as the thing got announced and never got my link, very sad. Excited to explore and use the tech behind the project though!

[@zeroy]

Nice presentation Sam, was a pleasure working alongside everyone, cant wait to see the final result!

[@redtroll80]

4000+ people..can't believe they pulled it off

[@jaytomlinson1613]

I need to know context on why that 1 person got banned... That's crazy. 💀

[@Redfox_1993]

Ready player One... we'll get there

[@secheladev]

For me it was a great honour to have participated and to have learned from the best. It is a very nice challenge and I hope that something like this is organised again so that we can all enjoy it together.

[@AadilSharifDotNetDeveloper]

So sad that I didn't see this during development. I would've done some great foliage for this.

[@leopy6534]

where can u download the sample project?

[@yonjuunininjin]

This was 2 months ago. Do we have any info about the release date?

[@puff1n469]

Damn it Sam, why'd you have to call out my 4k poster texture 💀. I swear I made that a 1k before the great perforce crash of the last night.

[@perfectionist724]

Hey I love unreal engine and you guys at epic are doing an incredible job with unreal engine! I want to ask if you can give us A much more powerful water system like under water currents. Large realistic waves that push the swimmer realistically. Fast and slow currents in rivers. Beautiful caustics . Well thanks for reading

[@iansmith3301]

Anyone got chapter markers they can provide? I want to understand how they managed version control with that many people.

[@myasga]

How to get working landscape tools on 16k terrain - 5.5?

[@Eliteownage]

awesome

[@imbatmanireallyam9122]

Weird question.. Can I optimize unreal engine based on my hardware? Everything still on default settings. I'm new so I have no idea

[@DeskToyStudios]

Loved working on this project, it felt like a cosy collaborative community all helping each other out. Very wholesome and educational 💚

[@pvprangergod4024]

mobile friendly haha

[@tomaspavka2014]

Zelda tears of the kingdom have a better graphics 😭😭😭

[@hellomistershifty]

a AAA game has better graphics than a world built by 4000 amateur artists in a couple of weeks? amazing

[@HexagonRPG]

JESUS loves you all ❤️, REPENT and follow JESUS because he is the truth, the way and the life ✨️ 🙏 🙌 ❤️. Sin leads to destruction, rejection of the word of God is to have the mark of the beast, but JESUS leads to peace, love, joy, wisdom, mercy, prosperity, and eternal life ❤️ 🙌 🙏 ✨️. JESUS died for our sins. PRAISE BE TO GOD OUR LORD ✨️ ❤️ 🙏 🙌.

[@OOsevenAlpha]

Optimize your damn engine. Many UE5 games are so bad in terms of performance and visuals. They don't even have impressive visuals to justify the low framerate.

[@OOsevenAlpha]

@@MarcusBuer It looks like you have no idea about new Ue5 games. have you ever played wukong, silent hill 2, Hellblade 2, Remnant 2, Stalker, First Descended? and there is more

[@myasga]

@@MarcusBuer yeah 800x600 resolution with 50% screen size on dlss ultra performance + frame generator on 1k ladnscape terrain with RVT on top without any foliage. Nanite always perform worse than standard LOD system atm for game design. You need like milions of triangles to get improve than standard mesh.

[@OOsevenAlpha]

@@MarcusBuer And you are telling me that all those developers don't know how to optimize a game?

[@maronharaheta]

lol

[@myasga]

​@@MarcusBuer yes, but you can check 8k landscape test i did and you have clear point that enabling nanite give loss in fps(auto/Unreal settings). Also changing precision to have better fps - with less triangles make terrain unstable character can walk through edges if it is detailed with alot of elevation. Can you explain why is that with VSM and Lumen SM6 and DX12?
