Hey all, thank you for all of your feedback on the roadmap, our bug list and other pieces of our offerings. It seems that more heads up on the roadmap alterations would have been welcomed. is on us, and we’ll do our best to provide more runway for conversation to happen before we make wide changes to how we present information going forward. Thanks for your patience with us while we work through the change and apologies for any pain felt. We’re parsing a lot of the feedback here in hopes to continue to evolve our offerings based on it. A couple ways you can help us hear you better in thread:
BUGFIXES: We understand that a number of you have been looking for specific bug fixes to be implemented. The best place to continue those conversations is somewhere outside of roadmap thread. The roadmap is a place to discuss forward facing features and issues should be taken up on their answerhub thread or in the parent forum - Feedback for Epic. As a few others have pointed out, has a great follow up regarding some of the questions that have been brought up in thread over here.
ARGUING / FIGHTING: is hopefully the last time I’ll mention , but please keep the fighting and attacks to a minimum in thread and on these boards. Taking shots at each-other is not constructive for anyone involved, and we’ll have to take action if it continues.
There’s a ton of great discussion regarding the Unreal Engine roadmap happening here that we’re thankful for (and heading!), I fear a lot of it is being lost in arguing and off-topic discussion. Thanks for helping us make a productive conversation and keeping things on track while we pursue ways to better serve you all.
How is the parsing of the feedback going?
Also:
- When can we get a conversation going on what will happen with 4.17? Or is that never going to happen?
- Why can’t you post more than once every 24 hours in regards to the road map (or on the forums in general)?
- Why did you go the whole month without telling us about the changes to the road map?
- When is the next update to the roadmap coming?
- Are any of the the upcoming features in 4.17 debatable?
- How are decisions made on what to work on next? Does each team work on whatever they feel like? Or is there overall directive and goal going from version to version?
- What is the reason bugfixes can’t be on the Roadmap? It seems like otherwise they get forgotten for literally years on end? How do you intend to address otherwise?
- Should we continue to expect a culture of prioritizing new features at the cost of bugfixes in the Roadmap?
- What spurred on the decision to prioritize the Audio System for 4.16?
- Does the Roadmap take into account other games generating revenue for Epic that could use specific features? If not, what could spur that on?
- Instead of a voting system like before, why not set up a bracket system organized by Epic for the community, where we can vote for specific features? We start with 64 potential features. The top 32 voted features move to the next voting bracket. We vote again and the top 16 features move up. Eventually when we have our top 4 features, that’s how you know what the community wants the most. Services like Brackify: https://brackify.com/product/pricing - will let you do that for free. Winners get added to the road map (along with a time frame for how long they’ll take to be implemented, meaning that a might get put on the agenda today to be completed by 4.19).
