This month I’ve gotten 3 #unrealengine contracts. Neither one of them involve building games from scratch, rather joining teams and completing particular tasks.

So far I’ve been getting on with VR experiences and dev with a standard pc that I use for standard web development. Decided to build myself a pc since I have a few VR projects that need to be completed by a deadline, I decided to go with a custom built VR dev rig. The hardware requirements aren’t much different than a gaming pc. Components
