As a senior frontend developer I feel like this is just ... Unreal. The scene graph is literally what I've been missing from UEFN and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks so much for making the web fun again. You are EPIC!

So excited for this, pretty crazy to see the potential that UEFN has!

My guess. The future is that you build your game in UE6 and distribute it to all platforms within the Epic Mega Cloud(Or whatever it will be called). Basically the logical advancement of what they currently have with UEFN. The underlying systems with Actors/Components will be replaced by Scene Graph for sure. It's also clear they want to simplify many processes within the editor. Wouldn't be surprised if we get multiple editor modes in UE6. For cinematics, simple games, complex games, motion graphics etc.

Soon! Yes please

Can we have the prefabs with light color overrides driven by DMX?

Are blueprints still going to be supported in Unreal Engine (not UEFN) still or are they getting phased out? (hope not)

Nope they will still be supported. But some of the underlying tech will likely be replaced at some point with the scene graph.

which IDE is used for Verse? Is it something built in into UE?

They ship vscode installer in uefn, include verse lsp, syntax highlight

Can anyone define what is the dominant difference between scene graphs and Actors? It seems like the scene graph is a limited version of actors, like excluding Blueprint capability from ActorBP.

That’s all so insane but I need free Verse course for beginners 😂

How do I get the entity component?

Why it's remained me unity ?

Probably the same reason why it reminds me of VB6, LibGDX's Scene2D, or countless other platforms from the past 20 or so years.... ....as said in the first few minutes of the video, scene graph is nothing new. You can literally design your own scene graph in UE and probably Unity already. Maybe watch the video again and you'll see how and why it's specific to UEFN/Verse.

@@cosmicdan808 It isn't specific to UEFN/Verse. It will come to UE later as usual. They introduce major changes first on Fortnite then port it to UE after its been battle-tested. And this is basically Scene Tree from Godot.

I like this is the same that Unity and USD.

Pretty sure it's been known about for some time, I've at least assumed that Verse will likely be a first party language in UE6, once the MegaVerse (Metaverse + Epic Megagames) is "final". They'll probably start adding curated and top UEFN games into Epic Launcher itself at that point 😮

Unreal set to doing Unity better than Unity.

UEFN is in a completely different league to Unity and UE. Unity and UE are for making traditional "boxed" games that you release on a store. UEFN games are 100% hosted in the cloud with very little technical code, zero distribution costs, free multiplayer backend, and ongoing Metaverse/MegaVerse integrations and such (cross-game communication). You can't compare UEFN to Unity or even UE5. It's a GaaS/Metaverse "engine" with a whole new ground-up programming language.

Worrying things I noticed: - having to specify the access modifier for each and every function (public, protected, private), let me type less by allowing c++ style access modifiers or just add C# instead. - white space indentation (added the one feature that python devs put up with). I'm not mad, just disappointed. - needing the keyword 'set' with the += operator, how did this get by QA? the equal part of the operator implies setting the value. - multiline for loops, I hope you're able to hover over a function to see the return type, so that it's easier to reason about which lists/collections/vectors/arrays/whatever-you-end-up-naming-the-data-structure are being iterated over. - not specifying the memory model, meaning probably garbage collected and no opportunity to do it manually. Overall it seems like an attempt to give the ease of use as seen with blueprints and the source control opportunity of c++, but feels like it's going to have more gotchas then what I laid out above.

About third case... You need to always use set keyword to change variable (not constant). The "+=" operation means that you try to change value of variable. The same with '='(if we want to change value of variable in code) and other operators working with variables.

Hello 👍🏼

Unity's prefab paradigm is way more intuitive & useable than Unreal's actor & component system. The fact that they went with prefabs when they had the option is a major self-report. UE5 is great, but you guys need to start making QoL updates the #1 priority, and do it yesterday. Look at the development of blender as inspiration.

If the scene graph works in the same way, and they can allow scene editing while playing, Unity will basically be dead.

Unity will die if you implement Scene Graph well, allow scene editing while playing, editing of prefabs in-place, overriden prefabs saved as inherited prefab asset (prefab variant). I always stop using UE5 due to the lack of these features, and also when you hide a folder, it still shows in-game... You have to click a visibility checkbox when selecting the objects. Crazy workflow. I don't know how UE dev's put up with it.

My God! What a disgrace!!! The Unreal Engine developers have finally started designing and have almost caught up with Unity. This is something incredible.

;-)

Is this unity's prefab system :D ?

These are just actors with verse instead of blueprints.

The community had this discussion like, a year ago. The TL;DR was - go try making a game in UEFN and Verse, see how easy it is to make a cloud/Metaverse game with this brand new language - you'll get it. If you want to make games in C++ *and* be seamlessly integrated into the Epic MegaVerse (their Metaverse) then MAYBE you will be able to in UE6. But for now, they're literally making their own cloud/GaaS/whatever buzzword platform, it makes sense to not be restricted by traditional programming paradigms - they got some compsci wizards to work on the foundation for a *Metaverse first* language and it was definitely worth it. Just try Verse dude. Why even preach X language, languages are just a tool. It's time to use a Drill instead of a Hammer 😅

I really wish you'd put your fortnight content on another youtube channel

I wonder how many work-hours at epic are spent on UEFN, that could be spent on something useful :/

Why not just use Microsoft's C# language? Instead, spend a lot of time re-developing the Verse language?

@MrJacobgood1

2 ай бұрын

Verse is a much more advanced language than C#, they are not "redeveloping" the same kind of garbage semantics you find in languages like c#. Once you understand what they are doing, you will appreciate it a lot more.

UEFN,🙄😓

I know it’s free but please just take my money!

All these amazing tools to make games that will never be played by the current player base. If you're using UEFN to make money then forget it if you don't have a few thousand of your own followers to bring to the game - Epic ain't interested in promoting your game to an existing and already engaged player base because there is no money in it for them. I can only imagine one reason why Epic are putting all this effort into UEFN. That is to attract high end studios with large fanbases to FN. But that ain't working out is it? A meagre 40% cut of the revenue and an ecosystem dominated by trashy games isn't exactly attractive is it?

Who needs Metahumans if you can have Obby on a bike? But anyway. The Fortnite Ecosystem is the prototype of what Epic is doing on a larger scale in the future and with UE6. They also most likely have marketing incentives inside their Cloud Gaming Store, because this is definitely a problem that has to be solved outside social media bubbles.
