Still in beta, correct? Nothing downloadable just yet…? Thanks for the answer.

I can’t answer for them, but they’re pretty generous about letting people into their beta.
It’s also come a long way, I use SK now in a commercial project after playing with it for a long time in the beta, it’s stable enough for me to commit to it these days.
The main reason we have the UE4 plugin in closed beta is that we have been waiting for code plugin capability in the Unreal Marketplace. According to Epic Games that tech is supposed to be up and running this Q1 - maybe even in a few days or a week or two away. (Current estimate from Epic for UE4.11 is March 28.)
No matter what though - we plan to make the UE4 plugin publicly downloadable at the start of the Game Developer Conference when the Expo starts on March 16!
As VFe says - since we are so close, we pretty much accept everybody into the beta right now. So if you cannot wait for March 16 - apply for the beta now.
Thanks VFe for the words of support and confidence.

Does the plugin work with 4.14? What are the advantages of Skookum over c++?
Yes, the latest plugin works with 4.14.
As to your 2nd question, is really more complementary to C++ rather than a pure substitute. Some studios have mentioned that they use 80% Skookum, 15% Blueprints, and 5% C++.
- Skookum is a scripting language that is much easier to learn and use than C++. Game designers, level designers, artists, and audio people can use it efficiently and easily whereas C++ is usually used by engineers only.
- It gives you direct access to game assets using gameplay-related routines (such as pathing, spawning, manipulating game objects, AI, etc) It also does an excellent job at simplifying time-flow logic (take a look at our coroutines: http://www…com/about/look/)
- Real-time editing and recompiling (while the game is running). Instant compile times even on the largest of projects.
- Ties into Blueprints seamlessly. You can call BP nodes from Skookum and vice versa.
- Real-time console (in-game REPL) that allows you to call any Skookum routines to create on-the-fly scenarios for testing or debugging.
- Step-wise debugging, callstack, locals…
- Created and constantly updated by a team of veteran game developers with great support by Epic engineers!

Haro Ventures puts to the test
has had so much buzz lately, our neighbours are starting to wonder if we are actually a front for an illicit beekeeping ring. And that buzz has now put us on the radar of Haro Ventures, a Victoria B.C.-based investment fund that supports the growth of high-potential software companies.
Haro has taken particular interest in ’s growing reputation for being much easier to learn than other programming languages. Haro decided to put this claim to the test, and sent over a young associate with essentially no programming experience to see if is truly as easy to learn as we claim…

And why not take a moment to gaze upon the beauteousness that is the SkookumIDE’s new Slate-based UI?
So, I really dig your guys’ general feature set, and you have a really nice set of accompanying tools all really well-integrated into the engine.
But, man, that syntax. It’s brutal.

If you haven’t tried out yet or if you haven’t looked at it since its new slate IDE was released earlier this year at the Game Developer Conference - now is a great time to check it out!

It is compatible with versions 4.18, 4.17 and 4.16. (Versions 4.18-4.13 are also available on GitHub.)
