About This Podcast

Unreal Engine Diaries is a raw, unedited audio journal from a solo developer trying to build something real in a world where AI is rewriting the rules faster than anyone can keep up. I'm a UX designer who got laid off, picked up Unreal Engine, and started documenting what actually happens when a non-engineer tries to build a virtual world alone — the technical walls, the identity crisis, the occasional breakthrough. No tutorials. No sponsored segments. Just honest dispatches from someone figuring it out in real time. Topics include: Unreal Engine 5, vibe coding, AI tools for solo devs, MetaHumans, virtual fashion, indie game development, and what it means to keep making things when the industry is falling apart around you. If you're building something in Unreal — or wondering if you should — this is for you. Contact: [email protected]
