With nearly 80,000 attendees storming through the doors of the NEC in Birmingham, it was another record breaking year for EGX and a perfect way to mark the event's 10th anniversary!
I headed up to the show to give a talk on Real Time Rendering for Artists at Ukie’s careers bar. In-case you couldn’t make it, I’ve converted my slides to a blog post which you can read here.
With my talk successfully given, I started scouting for all of the playable Unreal Engine games on the showfloor – and my goodness I was kept busy counting with 41 Unreal Engine-powered titles all over EGX! Here’s my EGX experience in pictures:

First to 8Bit10 and their game King of the Castle – congratulations on placing second at Dare Academy and we hope you enjoy your trip to China! Second, it was awesome to hear White Paper Games being featured on BBC Radio One’s newsbeat of EGX!
