Very interesting!

From now on, #EpicGames allows you to publish games on #EGS directly. Your game will be checked before being published, you'll have to pay $100 (same as on #Steam), they will take 12% from revenue, etc.

And there are very special rules for #UnrealEngine games on EGS!

As for review and censoring: No scam, adult content, hate speech, etc.

The most insane part about such projects is that the first visual tests of Atomic Heart were published in 2008, it was a set of animations and lore articles, more like another SCP Foundation.

Over the 15 years, they turned down the idea to make a movie and decided to create the game instead, then scaled down the open-world aspect, making it much less abstract, leaving the craziest parts to be Limbo. It was way more like Death Stranding with some endless landscapes and small points of interest.

There are more videos on this YT channel, including some old open-world footage, previous lighthouse design, etc. This is how your project can change over time to meet the market requirements:
