MegaGrant Announcment Image

Exciting news! We are proud to announce that we have received an Epic MegaGrant from Epic Games! After four years of working on our plugins for Unreal Engine, it is truly exciting to receive an Epic MegaGrant, so we can further improve Errant Worlds.

For those who may not know, Epic MegaGrants are given to individuals and organizations who are working on projects that contribute to the Unreal Engine ecosystem. These grants are meant to support innovative projects that enhance the 3D graphics ecosystem and help the community. It’s an honor to be among the recipients, especially after seeing some of the incredible projects that have been supported in the past.

Stay tuned for more updates and new features as we continue on this journey with a little help from MegaGrants!

Errant Worlds available everywhere

We're thrilled to announce the start of open Beta for Errant Landscape, an Unreal Engine plugin that completely transforms the landscape creation process within the Editor.

Gone are the days of having to bake landscapes in an external program and then import them to Unreal every time a modification is made. With Errant Landscape, you can modify your landscape directly in the Editor, in real-time, in a concurrent and non-destructive manner. This means you can work with the full context of your game objects and textures without wasting time on exports and imports.

Errant Worlds available everywhere

We are excited to announce that Errant Biomes is now available for B2B (Business-to-Business) sales in nearly all countries. Until now, our sales have been limited to mostly Europe, North America, Japan, New Zealand and Australia due to tax compliance reasons. Expanding this list has been highly requested by our business customers, and we are excited to be able to offer it and provide our plugins to a wider range of clients.

We want to clarify that Errant Biomes B2C (Business-to-Consumer) availability remains unchanged. This is due to the fact that VAT and GST rules for B2C sales are a lot stricter, often requiring registration and monthly reporting even with minimal sales. This naturally forces us to focus on the biggest markets first and add new countries once there is enough demand from individual customers to justify the ongoing accounting cost.

If you have any questions about this change, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We are happy to announce that Errant Biomes 1.0.0 has just been released and is available for purchase. This is an important milestone for us as it concludes over 4 years of hard work on this project.

Naturally, it doesn't mean our job is done. We have a long list of things to improve (see our roadmap) and other plugins to finish.

We are very thankful to our Beta participants - your feedback, bug reports and test scenes helped us tremendously! As a token of gratitude, we've prepared a special discount for you which we will communicate soon. The Beta version of Errant Biomes will continue working for the next two weeks.

Because of tax/legal complications we've restricted sales to a select few countries for now (Australia, Canada, European Union countries, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States). This list will be growing as we continue investigating various local tax regulations.
