It's common Knowledge that Unreal Engine 4 is one of the leading commercial game engines on the market today, being not only free to use but supported by an astonishing breadth and depth of features and decades of knowledge. It's nonetheless a constant pleasure to learn exactly how the endless ingenuity of game developers around the world is making use of all that potential.

2019 has once again provided a wealth of such stories as we speak with developers big and small for our weekly Making it in Unreal series, and as with last year, we're taking the opportunity to look back on some of our favourites as we approach the year's end.

From passion projects about taking a nice walk made by solo devs with no experience, to major games looking to shake up genre conventions or even pioneer new ones, the ambition and imagination that devs are choosing Unreal to help them realise is inspiring.
