UE4 Roadmap

[trutty]

Hi, I think an improvement in the HTML5 packaging process would be great to reduce the resulting size of the package. imho, currently a lot of unnecessary stuff is referenced in the final files (see e.g. https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...kage-size.html)

Can you add Vulkan api to roadmap ?

You haven't updated the roadmap on Trello for a month already. Are you hiding something from us, Epic?

No hiding I swear! Things bit held up with GDC and making sure we're ironing out the remaining major issues with 4.7. I hope to start sharing our current thinking on the 4.8 release in the coming weeks, both in our release plans along with the key areas of development we're focusing on.

No Worries Ray. We realize how hard it is to maintain an engine with as many features as UE4 provides us developers. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to seeing those new "Large world" features that you've mentioned would be coming our way soon.

BTW, GDC was pretty cool. I spent a bit of my time at your both and thought that you guys did a really great job putting all that together. The "Hobbit" demo was truly amazing.

It would be great if we could fill an array with data based on an image/texture file. Using blueprint.

...and to create texture2d from an array e.g. for creating debugging materials for custom pathfinder and AI systems. at least for me

Cloud development would be awesome to add. I know that is a huge task. /bows

What does that even mean?

Is there an ETA on the updated Roadmap and / or the first 4.8 preview being released?

I'm interested in the low end mobile optimizations, mobile dynamic shadows and further Android stability.

Hey there! We typically update the Roadmap roughly every 6 weeks or so. It should be mostly up to date now!

Does "UE4 Roadmap -> Rendering -> Hair/fur shading" mean NVIDIA HairWorks?

No, there are no plans to integrate that to the main engine at the moment.
