USB-C changed things from cables that didn’t always fit but worked when they did, to cables that always fit but don’t always work.

@rainyversion02 @unrealsource_ @UnrealEngine Fortnite has used Blueprints since the first builds. We’re aware of their importance to art/design and our goal is certainly not to make things less efficient!

@unrealsource_ @UnrealEngine No, no plans. We prototyped several different approaches to a “visual” Verse over the years, but none felt like they were the right approach. Instead we’re full-speed ahead on making the language as accessible as possible through good API design, tools, and documentation.

@RedPhoenixTR @UnrealEngine The challenge with Blueprints is that while they start off as an easy way to add logic or interactivity they frequently become giant graphs that are hard to work with and prone to performance problems. That's feedback we get from licensees of all sizes.

Visiting Montreal for work and decided to try AirPods Live Translation for the flight attendant instructions… Maybe a warning about exchange rates?

No idea how new this is, but the App Store now uses 50% of the screen to show an ad for the thing you weren’t searching for. Gotta keep growing that services revenue I guess!

@Richytoons The short story is that the capabilities of Verse UI and UMG are converging, but currently represent the functionality/customization ends of the spectrum. We’ve come a long way this year already though, and have a few more things still in the pipe :)

@TheAweDam @FNCreate Eventually APIs that are using the old system will be deprecated but that’s some way off and we’ll provide plenty of notice and guidance

@TheAweDam @FNCreate You can republish with no changes. For now you will only have to change your code if you use the new APIs that use Verse transforms. In this case you’ll need to either convert your code to LUF or use the conversion functions for data going in/out of the APIs
