I created a cool little tool that allows you to associate objects in a 3d package with static meshes in Unreal Engine 4. The video above has more information. The source for this is located on my github.

Added fully independent akimbo weapons to Pow. Replication support still needs to be added.

Added shotgun and minigun mechanics to Pow. Even includes replication support for multiplayer.

Added an in-game Feedback tool that will push collected feedback to a JIRA project. Pretty cool.

Showing off some weapon mechanic replication and third person animation handling for the Pow project.

In this video I show off some progress on my project codenamed Pow. Basically what is set up here are some basic weapon mechanics for a variety of weapon types and some UI.

I released some unmaintained but stable code that adds some predefined extended UMG widgets to Unreal Engine 4 that support things like dynamic widget creation, beter skinning support, and a few other features discussed in the way too long video shown above. Source for this has also been released on

Sorry for the brevity of this post, I'm still perpetually tired, we just kicked up the number of hours at the office. In any case, here was my team's entry for Global Game Jam 2013, a game called Deadbeat done in Unreal. Its a 4 player co-op game with some
