Our Opportunity CLIMB program is working with our Intro to Game Design Class! Students will test to get their Unreal Engine certification, and this week they had the chance to hear from an Unreal Authorized Instructor for Unreal Engine by Epic Games. #StVrainAdvantage @SVVSD

This was super cool to receive and be a part of! I appreciate the recognition from the leadership at @ICSVVSD and while I am focussing on Game Design and Quantum this year theres no way you can take that Robotics bug away from me!

You cant learn about making games with out playing some first. And thats not just a me choice, its in the standards for game design courses. Let's get this semester rolling on the right side of the rails today as we learn how to define a game!

Odyssey is a professional toolset that brings 2D animation workflows directly into Unreal Engine, enabling artists to draw, animate, and storyboard frame by frame right inside the Unreal Editor.
We've been working with its creator, @Praxinos, to help bring it to more creators by making it available through the Fab Marketplace for free!: unrealengine.com/news/odysse…

Summer Camp Spotlight: Create Your Own Arcade Game! Students are using Microsoft MakeCode Arcade to design and code their own arcade-style games. They’re learning game design fundamentals, creating pixel art, and programming character movement. #StVrainStorm @SVVSD

The fact that Epic Games is democratizing access to tools (even beyond their own ecosystem), is empowering (and paying) their creators, and has put a major focus on the integration of AI as a "Superpower" for creators should tell the world so much about where we are headed!

Live from space… Blu is Cory? Cory is Blu? MetaHuman Animator makes it all possible…in real time! But whatever you do - don’t let Blu do his standup.
Want to know what else is out of this world? MetaHumans are being added to the Unreal Engine License. You can use MetaHumans anywhere!
