New round of unreal dev grants fund education.
submitted hope i get a reply ! =D
Submitted! 
We’ve just announced our UE4 ODIN Tracker Plugin which can be found here: ODIN Tracker | Plugin - Marketplace - Epic Developer Community Forums
We will most likely be submitting it for an Unreal Dev within the next couple of weeks if not sooner ![]()
I’ve got a question about the Dev Grants. I’ve submitted my project for one a couple of weeks ago and received a “Submission Request received” email as well. I understand it does take time for them to process all of the requests, but will we receive an email if our project does not meet the requirements or is not approved for a Dev ? Would we be informed so we don’t keep waiting and thinking it is still pending?
Yee i would like the same pls
Its quiet hard to just wai for even the smallest info.
Unfortunately they will only contact back the people they want to move forward with. did mention in the Slack Channel when asked about this and he said it was ok to submit again if things have changed and you have more progress to show. He mentioned about a month or so later should be ok but basically If you have not heard back from them in 2 months and you have more progress to show them I would submit again.
I work for a government agency. We’re looking into partnering with some local universities and possibly some museums to have some educational exhibits utilizing the htc vive.
The possibility of money definitely helps in the justification for the project and the amount of time we as developers will spend outside of existing projects, as well as the cost of vives (and the pcs to run them) for the othe entities we’ll be working with. Does the fact that we’re a government agency preclude us from obtaining a ?
Hi guys! Can i get money on paypal?
I just submitted my project so its a waiting game now. Hoping someone on here has any idea how long before one can safely say Epic did not like the project?
Hi!. Will I get a notice if my prototype has been denied or not? Thank you for the help!
You won’t. Just submit, wait 6 months, and see if you got a check.
May I ask where you get the six month figure? That seems like a very long time
I know for sure that my own game went 4 months without being reviewed, and other people have reported the same. UDG is a very nice program, but you probably won’t be selected be applying.
Those who get funded through UDG were famous before that, made the news with Unreal Engine, got funded after the fact.
I can understand why Epic would go with a name brand. No point just throwing money out there, much better to be selective
Wish there was a system where they would simply send a no thanks email; then you would know not to expect any money.
I have question about Vive grants:
applications are supposed to have working prototypes, but if you’re applying for a for a vive, how do you make a working prototype for it before you have one?
I had the same thought in mind, looks like the “chicken and the egg” dilemma ![]()
I explained my project and simply asked them “What do you want to see?” Then I made it clear anything they want to see, gameplay, sets, design docs or whatever they are welcome to it
It maybe correct to some extent but not a 100%, I’ve seen a number of people who aren’t very well known on the lists of people who’ve received grants, especially in the educators part. People who are already famous are just more likely to receive a because they are already known for doing cool stuff.
Resubmitted my room-scale VR game for the vive . It works using SDK 1.3 (DK2 or CV1) now and I suppose porting it over to the vive is quite manageable.
Hopefully someone takes a look at it soon and it passes this time. My previous submission (5% complete versus 95% now) 9 months back got no replies.
