THE FINALS community is unmatched.
Thank you for making this weekend so special.

While Sweeney isn't wrong (devs not caring for perf -> perf sucks); UE4/5 prioritized artist-driven materials.
They're a blessing for expressing artistic vision; but it *sucks* for performance. If you want a game to run fast, from day 0 appoint a savvy tech lead. [1/3]
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has suggested that some platforms may struggle to run Unreal Engine 5 games because developers aren’t optimising them properly.

Design Director, Matt Lowe, has written a blog that dives deep into our efforts to improve the Cashout mode in Season 3! This is a lot of data to take in and you’ll learn a bit more about how we approach, experiment with, and solve various problems in THE FINALS.

Kika worked on some of my favourite Everwild concepts, I'd strongly recommend anyone looking for a concept artist to have a look!
