Update #6 MidKnight Story goes to Unreal Engine 5!

Let's start this update with a chill video showcasing MidKnight Story running on the shiny new game engine, featuring a brand new ambient track composed by Jonny Adams!


This past month I managed to port MidKnight Story to the new videogame engine Unreal Engine 5 to take advantage of all the newest tech it has to offer, including a brand new dynamic lighting system known as Lumen, improved shadows, Nanite technology that allows million of polygons to be easily rendered by the latest PCs and gaming consoles, and much more!

The current demo of MidKnight Story only showcases the new lighting and shadow system, while reflections and objects are handled the old-fashioned way for the time being, as Unreal Engine 5 still remains in early access and naturally has some kinks to iron out. But we'll get there!
