As stated in my previous post , my goal is to improve the robustness of the Untold Engine by focusing on developing various games. I was thinking of a game to make, and I thought about how much my kids love car games. So, I decided to develop one.

There is a difference between having a degree and not having one in a relevant field, but it isn't as important as one might think. The kind of degree you hold really only matters for the initial application round, where the recruiters sift through all of the applications and decide who gets callbacks and who gets dropped. This is because, realistically, we can't call every applicant back for each open position.

@Jared @pandamicro I’ve just tried 3.8.4 and found an itchy issue with scene rotation in Editor: When I select a node in scene & rotate scene to view it from another angle using “Alt” + Drag Left Mouse - after mouse released, the selected node lost focus & the other node at last mouse position (on mouse up) was selected instead I had to reselect the previous node again to edit it Hope this issue will be fixed soon. 3.8.
