I've been doing a deep dive on the unreal engine 5 beta. It's absolutely incredible and 10x easier to use than when I've tried in the past.
I used this tutorial to get started.

Following along with the tutorial I felt not that far from something that I could release as a playable game. Really fun to use.
Unreal engine has an extremely rich plugin ecosystem with dozens of procedural plugins.
So for example:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/worldscape-pro-plugin-make-planet-and-infinite-world https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/world...
I haven't found something that feels comprehensive yet. But it's probably because I'm not familiar enough with the space. You can cobble it all together with the plugins though. Unfortunately, unlike traditional software development the unreal plugins tend to cost money (or good news if you have an interest in plugin development). Unreal Engine on the other hand is free up to some crazy amount of sales and then you pay a small royalty.
There is also another program I ran across that I think can import to unreal and other software.

Oh and here's a shorter video of some of the unreal engine 5 stuff that highlight the technical updates.

- johnnyApplePRNG 5y agoI like the way that first video starts out. I can tell already I'm going to watch the entire series. Thank you so much! Just curious... can unreal create games that can be played in the browser?
- f0e4c2f7 5y agoYou know I'm not sure. It's pretty versatile so maybe? I've been focused on VR dev. Googling it looks like at least some people are. https://itch.io/games/made-with-unreal-engine/platform-web https://itch.io/games/made-with-unreal-engine/platform-web
