Explore THE MOON in Unreal Engine!

Join the Verse Patreon to try it out!   / versecontent  

Once we get to 1000 Patrons (of all tiers combined) this code will be open source and maintained!

It's such a special feeling to explore any and every corner of the Moon with the highest resolution data available... That's what I've been able to create in the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5! It's enabling me to tell new stories throughout the solar system for my upcoming Planets Series! If you want to try it out, check out the Patreon link above, where you can get access to the codebase that makes this possible! 🤩
