Epic games has awarded $25,000 in Unreal Dev Grants to the 5 mappers that recently had their maps added to the UT Marketplace. This is a great way to incentivize mappers to build high quality maps for Unreal Tournament. Just in case you didn’t do the math, that is $5000 per mapper. Not bad at all!
Check out the Unreal Tournament Blog for more info.
Epic held their first stream in many months (watch replay here) in which they covered many of the changes to the game in both the recent build and upcoming build. The big surprise is that there is actually a new build coming tomorrow! Check out the changelog HERE.
In addition to discussion of the upcoming build, Sidney reviewed several community maps that will be hitting the marketplace in the launcher. Good to see many of the solid community maps get built into the game.
There was supposed to be a “special announcement” in this stream but unfortunately, Flak could not reveal it today. Instead we’re instructed to watch the Unreal Engine stream tomorrow for this “significant” announcement. Will be interesting to see what the fuss is all about!
At long last, those of us who have sorely missed the UT Twitch streams will get some relief in the form of a project update by Epic’s UT team. Tune in to the UT Twitch channel at 2pm ET tomorrow (11/9) to catch the stream!
Irridium77 has brought a smile to many @utgame fans by bringing the classic DM-1on1-Pure-Pro layout to UT4. Version 006 is currently installed on the UC Hub and ready for action.
While technically designed for Duel, it’s also quite fun for FFA Deathmatch. Here’s a sample of some game play in Pure on the Unreal Carnage Hub.
KazeoHin has been a busy guy lately and unfortunately hasn’t had much time to work on the low poly model for his Bio Rifle design. He was however gracious enough to post a quick update of his current work in the forums. Hopefully we’ll get to see this in the game before the end of the year. No pressure Kazeo :p.
At long last, chonglee has released an update to his awesome DM-Deck remake. This is a proper re-envisioning of the map for UT4, not a port by any means. Hopefully this will be built into the game when it reaches final!
The rebuilding of community maps continues after the last update broke them all as expected. Several great maps have already been rebuilt and have been added to the UC Hub. Here’s the current list of custom deathmatch maps on the Hub:
The long awaited update to Unreal Tournament is available today. As expected, the move to Unreal Engine 4.14 has broken all of the community maps. This begins the painful grind to build up custom content once again on the Unreal Carnage Hub.
Here’s the announcement from Epic:

Chong has released an update to DM-Morpheus for @utgame that includes a massive visual overhaul. He managed to nicely incorporate several ideas from forum members such as Kazeohin. With a bit more gameplay polish, this will be a great addition the UC hub lineup!

One of the best mappers on the UT4 scene, chonglee, hadn’t been heard from in a year which caused many UT forum goers to fear that his brilliant DM-Deck remake would never see the light again.
The good news is that chonglee has reappeared in the forum and posted in the DM-Deck thread. Looked forward to seeing this back in the game again!
