[Twitch] Announcing Unreal Dev Grants! - Feb 19, 2015 @ 2PM ET

is a truly amazing thing you’re doing, Epic folks. Funding is such a huge challenge for so many small projects. I don’t think I’m overstating it when I say could be life changing for some of the chosen game developers.

is awesome :smiley:

The question which comes to mind right away has been asked a few times already: Is there a deadline for the submission?

I am just starting with my project, so it will be a few weeks/months before I have something which resembles a decent prototype. Would be a pity to miss out.

was answered on the Stream: Nope! :slight_smile:

Good :slight_smile: So I guess its just till the money runs out, still better hurry then :stuck_out_tongue:

I love that you guys are doing . Thank you!

is great. It could really help with my ability to finance voice actors and such. I hope when my project is further along in development that it passes Epic’s standards.

These grants sound awesome!

Thanks for all the kind words on Unreal Dev Grants. We’re VERY excited about !

Thank YOU for bringing UE4 to all of us. I remember when Unity was the only option and I used to spam your twitter profile asking for an indie version of UE4 :wink:

It’s amazing to see how a top end company like Epic have adopted new strategy to capture the smaller developers and indie’s. You guys have really come out full steam, provided amazing tools, best of class support and community engagement and shown you really care about helping your users. I know i live in the wrong country but… Epic for President!!!

Wow. Incredible.

Thanks who tuned in and asked us questions! As you can imagine we’re just as excited to be able to help creators realize their next big thing, and we’re looking forward to announcing the first selections in a couple weeks. Also I apologize for all the bad pun jokes made on the stream - we’ve had some stern conversations about rest assured!

We need MORE puns!

You could say, he took a .

For me, these kind of jokes makes you to one of the most congenial and charismatic companies out there.

I have one more question, do you more like short (5min - 10min) footage videos or longer (15min - 30min) videos where we have the time to explain a bit about us and the project concept? I am asking because you maybe don’t want to spend to much time on one project, because there are hunderds or more.

Epic - is truely amazing!

I have one question (I couldn’t watch the livestream and won’t be able to watch it before tonight): will the applications be made public? Some people might be bound by NDAs, so would be a problem for some.

They answered it with ‘no’. There will be a point where they ask you about . If you don’t want to, they will not publish it.

Thanks Dude :smiley:

Every day I love you even more Epic Games Team!

Really impresive, I´ll apply for sure!

Keep up the good work!

Is it possible to receive the funds as a Finnish company? How about european taxes and stuff? :slight_smile:
