WHAT
Join us this Friday to explore Mix Universe - a unique musical sandbox game that puts you in the role of a Mixonaut tasked with creating and sharing musical vibes throughout the universe called mixes. All mixes are built in-game and play 100% real-time based on their connections. Mixonauts can also share what they make with each other using the steam workshop! Utilizing a huge array of the audio tools available in UE, this game gives not only an incredible visual to the beats you make but also powers the sound with some pretty impressive tech. Come join us as we chat with the solo developer of this project and maybe even help us make some mixes live!

WHO
Chris Zukowski - Solo Developer - @ChrisZukoArt
Mix Universe is solo developed by Chris Zukowski, also known as Chris Zuko, who has been developing games for 11 years starting as an environment artist. It started as a passion project with a simple idea to make an audio visual experience in Unreal in late 2018. As Unreal’s audio capabilities expand, Mix Universe’s in-game abilities will too. This is the main reason why it is still an early access game. There will be game breaking bugs due to being right on the tip of the most experimental and cutting edge Unreal Engine 5 technology for audio.
