Introducing... VerseBoy! 🎮
A highly accurate Game Boy emulator written in UE6's future programming language, Verse. It runs both standalone (using Python as the display) and right inside Fortnite using #UEFN! 🧵
Check out the codebase here and try it for yourself: github.com/Ep8Script/VerseBo…
(the video is sped up quite a bit, Verse can be slow 😭 but it's not as bad as you'd think!)
This is a project I've been really passionate about for a long time! In fact, I made the project for it 3 and a half years ago before realising that I didn't really have the skills for it, nor did UEFN have the capabilities yet...

Epic Employees have joked about Epic Games "AI First" approach going forwards (via: Bloomberg)
During a video call last week, some Epic developers made jokes about how to handle errors in AI-generated work, asking if they should just have Claude fix its own mistake.
Others at Epic are hoping that this AI First approach is not a serious request, or that Epic will reverse course in the future.
Some argue that this approach will not be as successful as the company hopes it will be.
The stop-motion animation work behind LAIKA’s WILDWOOD (2026) is absolutely insane.
136 handcrafted sets, over 200 practical puppets and 49 animators working across 231 weeks, with some shots producing just 1–4 seconds of animation per week.
