  • A small panel at Epic will judge entries on the following criteria:

  • Unique use of theme

I’ve only experimented a bit with UE4 because I was stupidly hesitant to leave UDK for a long time. I’m looking forward to this Jam as a reason to really get my hands dirty and figure out more of the asset pipeline and publishing executables side of the engine.

Nope, you just need at least one subscription ever so you have and can use UE4!
