Epic Games Fellowship 2025 Experience

As a Teaching Assistant for the Unreal Game Fellowship EMEA 2025, I had the privilege of guiding talented designers through an intensive 4-week journey into Unreal Engine game development. ## Watch the Results *4 weeks of incredible game development condensed into just 2 minutes.* ## My Role & Contributions - **Hardware setup and input configuration guidance** - **Real-time debugging support** for last-minute issues - **Sharing production insights** and best practices - **Fostering collaborative problem-solving** within teams I feel humbled that I could share my insights around hardware, inputs and fixing last-minute bugs! The amazing Fellowship community continues to inspire each other with challenges and helps one another through creativity and collaboration. ## The Fellowship Experience Feel proud as it takes a massive amount of dedication to complete a fellowship with Epic Games. It's like a marathon - you completed it and you are one of us now. The idea of "I know kung fu" from The Matrix is how some feel after an intense fellowship. ## Team Recognition ### Epic Games Team - **Stephanie Shickel** - Operations - **Ed Bennett** - Fellowship Lead - **Sam Deiter** - **Cathy Cheo-Isaacs** - Operations - **Julie Lottering** ### Teaching Assistants - **Carlo Andrei Mercado Morales** - **Jaime Monedero March** - **Amaresh Beuria** - **James Henry Burton** - **Bartosz Barlowski** *(That's me!)* ### Instructor Team - **Ed Bennett**, **Peter Bottomley**, **Łukasz Kyć**, **Sam Deiter**, **Ryan Manning**, **Sean Spitzer** ### Mentors - **Peter Bottomley**, **Ivan Leon**, **Elena Felici**, **Trygve Bjellvåg**, **Rodrigo Da Costa** ## Special Thanks to My Team I also want to send a huge shoutout and kudos to my incredible team: **Alec Chalmers**, **Aleksandr Dyusov**, **Anton Stepurko**, **Erik Simon**, **Graham Oliver**, **Maria Barot**, **Stuart De Ville**, **Victor**, **Yonatan Tepperberg** Thank you for your energy, talent, and teamwork. ## What's Next?
