March 2026 – Unreal Engine 5

For ESL ONE at DreamHack Birmingham 2026, I was asked to bring the factory of Pudge, the Dota 2 character central to the event’s theme, to life on the stage. Using Unreal Engine 5, creating this little dioramaesque effect. Adding small little references, puns, and other things that can be triggered by the operators on site. I explicitely did not put them in the top video as then you just should have been on site to see them. Always fun to create a world!

You can watch the actual broadcast of the first day here, or more on the different channels of EFG.
