Dogfooding Redwood

As a final step before Redwood's next major update, we're putting Redwood through its paces by making a racing game as part of a gamejam. We're ironing out a few kinks as we go through the whole process of releasing a vertical slice. Most of our findings have been related to making the developer experience better with using the UE plugin.

Steam Authentication

Steam's the most popular PC distribution platform, so it might feel silly requiring a username/password if you're shipping your game directly to Steam. In the next release you'll be able to allow one or more authentication providers (username/password and Steam will be the only options for now, but we have more planned). This streamlines the onboarding process for your players by creating an account by just launching the game through Steam.

Looking Ahead

Not much has changed from last month. We're still trying to wrap up this update and re-release the Shooter Template. This is a busy month for us, so hopefully the next development update should have some progress!
