I’m nearly at the download finish point on my wifi hotspot, Nearly 3 days to get this mother downloaded. I KNOW it’s not wasted time or effort on my part and would just like to add to what our community members have said above, Thanks Epic, Appreciated.
I’ve had terrains near to this size running in UE4 for 4-5 months playing with what’s best, Given suggestions to the Epic code devs how things could be done to get to this point for nearly 1 year back , And they listened. You don’t get that as an Indie very often.
This was an old test before 50% of new stuff was even working, Cant wait now to get cracking on content with the new capabilities the hard working folk at epic have given us.

Once ive checked the new Terrain material from this and some of the AI stuff ill have things to show within days that even work on my little test bed i5 2666 ghz, 4 GB ddr3 ram, AMD HD 5850 card which was used with these test videos. Also as using full screen res 1080p real time video recording also took 10-20 frames of the real spped in editor, not even running in stand alone game mode.
Speak of the Devil :eek:
I definitely love to see a cinematic of the boy running with a horde of zombies catching. And probably trapped in the same cave and eaten alive that’d be a more interesting scenario than following a kite.
Though, his face doesn’t look like he is worried at all, looks more like he is one of them.
I got an error when i want to start the game on ‘‘Launch game’’, it says build failled. And when press ‘‘play in editor’’ it freezes on 0.4 fps. Just not working on my system?

Error solved, i think i had too load more parts of the projects in the editor before it played stable. Beautiful and impressive too see how the Boy and his Kite animation is realtime rendered on my screen! One little thing however during freeroam are the deers and their behaviour, see the screenshot below. For people wondering about my rig; my specs playing this demo are: GTX970,I7 4790K quad core 4.0 ghz, 16 gig Ram DDR3 1600 mhz, plays sometimes at 70fps, some drops to below 10 but mostly between 27 and 47fps.
I have to say, the Open World Kite Demo is pretty amazing.
The only issue I noticed was when moving between levels quickly (UAV with Shift held), at which point I found it stuttering while unloading and loading assets.
But then again, this was running in the editor.
Memory with everything loaded was just shy of 20GB, though my system generally runs at 3.5GB used (a few other programs running in the background while playing with the Kite Demo).
I expect that if I was playing with the release version, the memory wouldn’t be as large and things might load faster.
System Specs: i7-5820K OCed to 4.4GHz (6 cores, 12 threads), NVIDIA GTX 980, 32GB DDR4 @ 2133MHz, Assets loading from a 4 x 256GB SSD in a RAID 0 configuration.
Once again, Props to the UE4 development team for this amazing demo and the engine that runs it.
I really dont understand why people are complaining about this. Since I have seen this demo , all I have ever wanted was to get my hands on this(and also to get a to meet Nina Dobrev , but we are talking games here :P), and now that my dream is going to be true , my PC needs to be updated from 8 gb to 32 gb. But I am ready to go for it , because I would have given 500$ to the person who would create forests and beautiful worlds for me , and now I am getting it all free. The deer AI is amazing , I can simply replace them with my own deers , goats ,and will get pretty amazing results. This will save me a whole lot of effort that I needed to create a fictional world for my yet to be started epic fantasy project :D. I am just dancing with joy
By the way , you can read a sample chapter from here - ://orasir.wikia/wiki/Sample_Prologue
That cart is going to move through this beautiful fictional world , and I no longer have to worry about how I create that (I have obviously assumed that we can reuse the world and the deers for our own projects)
I finally got a to download this last night and I must say that my mind has been blown!! It is such a beautiful environment and I learned so much from exploring the project. I must say I was surprised I could run it with such a good frame rate.
It really makes me sad that there are people who are complaining about this gift. A lot of expert knowledge resides in this project, the fact it has been given to us for free is incredible and I am so grateful for it.
Either start it from your launcher -> library tab - double click on your project
Otherwise go to documents/unrealprojects/yourproject/double click on the uproject file (dont know if that is the right path -> so you just have to go to the place where you have saved the kite demo)
I’ll be straight up, it is beautiful things like this which made me really…really glad I switched to UE from Unity
The moment I saw the downloadable demo in my library, I thought to myself “It’s over. They did it. Epic is Epic.”
I am studying the assets now. Truly amazing work guys - thank you = )
BTW [question] - Any luck on having the Twitch Live streams been recorded to Youtube? I love the way you have organized your videos on youtube, very strong and valuable, to the point
