The world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool, Unreal Engine 5 will be available in preview in early 2021, and in full release late in 2021, supporting next-generation consoles, current-generation consoles, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Its novelties are Nanite and Lumen system.
Nanite virtualized geometry means that film-quality source art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine — anything from ZBrush sculpts to photogrammetry scans to CAD data — and it just works. Nanite geometry is streamed and scaled in real time so there are no more polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets; there is no need to bake details to normal maps or manually author LODs; and there is no loss in quality.
Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. The system renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in huge, detailed environments, at scales ranging from kilometers to millimeters.

Introduction
Greetings indiedb !
Welcome back to our 8th devblog ! Since we couldn't upload a devblog last week this one will be a bit bigger than usual.
Character Concept Art
The concept art for our main character is finished, at the top you can see the silhouette studies that we used to decide the overall "shape" of our character and once that was defined, we made some color studies.
UI Design
Above you can see our first concepts for the UI, being a resource management game you will be spending a lot of time on the menus so it is importante that these are well studied and executed.
Conclusion
That is it for now.
Thank you all for sticking around, please let us know your thoughts on what we've shown you so far, your feedback is more important than you might think !
See you all next time !

I'm waiting for it to make my own game. Making assets and planning for it.
lol waiting for gears 6 using this engine, there will be no unreal tournament 5 at all
oh boy
It seems quite promising. This engine has enormous potential. It's definitely immersive and realistic.
I have longed for a third installment in the KotOR series and it would be a dream come true if they made it using this software, but it's only wishful thinking. To be honest, I'd love to see another Witch-er video game, because this franchise has limitless potential and relatable characters. And I've seen the Witch-er III launch cinematic numerous times and that's what I wish to see in a sequel.
I honestly think that games have a bright future. And new game engines will merge with reality to some extent someday. I'm glad that visuals will be so realistic now and that they'll encroach/border on reality in the near future. So excited.
