FEATURED STORY
“I recreated my local pub in VR”
How Tristian Cross found the perfect solution for not-so-perfect days (lockdown) and why it went viral!
“As a man of very little – or perhaps too much -taste, I would make my living room look like a pub, if only I could. \[…] Theoretically, UE4 gives you the power to craft any world your imagination can conceivably muster. \[…] You could produce a blueprint for the objectively perfect pub. Thankfully, I don’t need to, because it already exists.” Have a look, experience it, and tell me you’re not blown away!
