Out of curiosity, what is the significance of the 16GB of RAM?
- high_priest 2mo agoIn development, you don't have the privilege of using optimised culling and LODs. For rapid development, very little code is compiled & there are extra IDE tools running. When you consider that 16GB has become the minimum requirement for modern A+ titles (with the Windows OS & background tasks squating on 4-6GB). Creating such a title might be difficult on memory limited machine. Unreal had made some improvements in this regard recently, with direct from storage assets loading & stuff.

Being able to produce something of note, especially in the gaming space, with 16 GB of ram IS a feat in and of itself
