question from 0 to 10 how hard was the upgrade from four to five that solid 50. for me it was pretty chill oh yeah it didn't do it yeah I didn't have to do too much yeah yeah the upgrade was a pain in the ass, a lot of work went into it, I think partly we were a little bit like optimistic, but, yeah a lot of work went into it and a lot of work is still going into it because there's still stuff that's being migrated over but, hopefully it will be worth it in the end, we still haven't like I wouldn't say we've you know sort of harvested the the the fruit of our like labor yet because, the there's the whole thing with like the one of the main reasons or not the main but one big reason why we changed was because we see a lot of potential to like optimize the game better you know Legend five and right now we're like you know at the cusp of just moving over so right now performance is like slightly worse or the same as before but we see a lot of potential of making it even better and like optimizing the game in many many areas, and and if we get more time then we will be able to to do more with it, so but it was a pain in the ass to move over, one thing that really bothered me was I was reading a a an article from like I think I think it was November last year, where predecessor another game that's also using ub5 that was in Early Access in December they had only one person apparently migrating from ue4 to ue5, and that's insane like holy that person is a genius unless they maybe they didn't do too many like engine altercation or something or something but, yeah it's insane, I think, yeah it was nutty it was nutty making making the upgrade and, hopefully hopefully it will be worth it in the end
