Yep, after waiting on pins and needles for several months to hear about our application status, we finally received the awesome news – Boulevard Arts has been awarded a MegaGrant from Epic Games. Epic Games is the video and software company behind incredibly popular games like Fortnite (maybe you’ve heard of it?).
In March 2019, Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney, announced a commitment over the next five years to give away $100 million dollars in MegaGants to support creativity and innovation within the 3D community. We are thrilled to be among the first cohort of award recipients.
Our MegaGrant will support the development of an exciting new virtual reality experience “America, Identity, Individualism” we are producing using the Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) platform. Not only is our project’s content timely and important, but the immersive technology–and especially UE4s capabilities– will allow us to deliver an interactive experience that engages users in new and mesmerizing ways. We will share more as we can.... But for now, a huge thank you to Epic Games for believing in our project and in Boulevard Arts!
