Epic Megagrants 2022 - Anyone is also applying?

Hi guys,

So I have been working on my game and really hoping to have a chance to grab an Epic Megagrant in 2022.

Of course, the chance of it is <10% (according to loads of Epic’s personnel). Therefore I’m doing research on why this 10% is so different from the rest. Here are some points that I think are worth mentioning (applying to Games only):

  • The story is totally headliner. It is either the producer’s story of effort or the game’s story itself. (Eg: A Juggler’s Tale - a student project, Hundred Days - winemaker + game producer’s production)
  • Not every single one of them is AAA level in graphics. They either excel in graphics or gameplay.
  • They all have the potential to show and tell the world about UE’s capability, as well as influence people to use the tool to mark their identity.

Any add-on about this topic? Have you ever applied? Your opinion on how to get a grant? Do’s and Don’ts?

I think you’ll find the main thing that gets you a grant is demonstrating that it’s worth investing in.

That usually means already having something very interesting to look at :slight_smile:
