Watch the debut episode of UE:LFG, a new livestream where we hang out and play games with their developers and talk to them about their creation process! This time, Andrzej Blumenfeld and Greg Cummings from Far From Home join us to play through Forever Skies, a new (Early Access) game that seems to be pretty high on people’s wish lists. If you’re new to Forever Skies, it’s a first-person post-apocalyptic survival game where you have to stay alive on an ecologically ravaged Earth after returning from space. This is the first game for the Polish studio and is being partially funded by an Epic MegaGrant.
