WHAT
The PCG Extended Toolkit is a free (libre), community-driven and open-source plugin that extends Unreal Engine’ Procedural Content Generation pipeline, with a focus on building spatial relationships between points and path manipulation (and a boatload more QoL for advanced PCG workflows)! We’ll be chatting with the minds behind the work this week to show an example of what it can do & answer your questions about the project.

Previously he was working as a creative developer, releasing the incredible collection of screensavers known as The Jean-Paul Software Screen Explosion. He’s now using Unreal Engine 5 to create ‘The Last Gig’- a first-person immersive sim that sees you sneak and fight your way across London in the midst of an AI apocalypse, with the aim of putting on humanity’s last ever rock concert.
Ed lives in London with his partner Clem, and an idiot cat named Donnie.
