Epic MegaGrants - Two Awards from Epic Games

Overview

I won two Epic MegaGrants for Narwhal Studios, Epic's no-strings funding for teams building with Unreal Engine. Winning it once was amazing. Winning it twice, for two very different projects, is something I'm still proud of.

The first was $50,000 for Happy Mushroom's Virtual Playground. We first submitted around July 2019, and the award landed on July 21, 2020. Epic brought the team into partner engagement and marketing opportunities, and kept referencing the grant in follow-ups through 2023.

The second was for a Washington Black proof of concept, with word coming in June 2021. The grant was $250,000 for the virtual art department work and the art department that we were going to drive, plus another $250,000 for the director and his production company to complete this proof of concept. This project was later turned into Payday production.
