Errant Photon Receives Epic MegaGrant!
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 Landscape Now Available!
We're thrilled to announce the official release of Errant Landscape 1.0! Our team has worked tirelessly to create a powerful plugin that we hope will become an invaluable tool for your development.
Errant Landscape Beta Now Available!
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 Biomes 1.2 release - preparation for the upcoming plugins
This release provides multiple bug fixes and prepares the Errant Biomes
plugin for the upcoming Errant Landscape
and Errant Paths
beta releases.
Errant Biomes available to business clients 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.

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.

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.
