Cloud Infrastructure For Unreal Engine 5 Teams
Support your team with industrial-grade infrastructure and services.
Turnkey Horde
âś“ Straightforward configuration - Connect to perforce and you instantly will have access to Horde and all the associated features.
âś“ Secured - Out of the box, Horde should be run inside of a secured VPN. Universal Foundry secures the coordinator and agents inside of our virtual private cloud and provides modern, zero-trust access to your developers.
âś“ OIDC and SAML support - Allows you to use your existing enterprise authentication and authorization workflows.
âś“ Agent Management - Eliminates developer time spent keeping machines running smoothly. Universal Foundry agents are automatically updated with the latest SDKs, OS upgrades, and security patches. Hardware failures and handled gracefully.
âś“ Highly scalable - Scale up and down with your needs. Eliminates the need to worry about over-purchasing compute time. Milestone days will no longer result in a fight for build and cook compute time.
âś“ Multiplatform support - Generate builds for console, PC, and mobile on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
âś“ Secrets Management - E2E encrypted secrets management from a web-based dashboard.
Full-Featured
Selected List of Supported Horde Features
âś“ Native BuildGraph - Understands BuildGraph natively allowing for parallelization status, logs, and dashboarding that is aware of each node.
✓ Pre commit checks - Validate changelists with compilation, tests, and anything else from BuildGraph before they’re submitted to the main branch.
âś“ Test automation - Run Gauntlet tests in the cloud with screenshots and telemetry available from the web-based dashboard.
✓ Slack notifications - Build success, health, and “blame” information are piped to channels within Slack.
âś“ UnrealGameSync Metadata - Populate UGS with builds and metadata direct from CI.
âś“ AutoSDK - Automatically install and update SDKs on build agents.
As Epic adds additional features, we evaluate them and integrate them into your deployment.
Unreal Build Accelerator
Universal Foundry enables UBA for your engineering team
âś“ Substantially reduce time engineers need to spend waiting for the engine to compile.
âś“ Add additional threads to local compile jobs using cloud compute that scales up and down on-demand.
âś“ Fully-managed service - Agent upgrades and engine upgrades handled automatically. Storage, bandwidth, and compute are all optimized out of the box.
âś“ Accelerates shader compiles.
âś“ Optimizes work even for older, low thread count workstations.
Cloud DDC
âś“ Fewer, Faster Progress Bars
“Compiling Shaders” and other slow outputs are shared automatically with the team, eliminating that step from editor launch/run.
âś“ Compatible with your on-prem DDC
We integrate with your on-premises derived data cache. Unreal will first look for assets on the LAN and then reach out to the Universal Foundry infrastructure.
âś“ Pre-populated
As part of the build process, we load the DDC so that it is ready the moment developers sync a new build.
Universal Foundry Compute Grant
The team at Universal Foundry is excited to announce the Universal Foundry Compute Grant, targeted at helping solo and small game teams accelerate their project’s development.
Our Philosophy
Speed Matters
Your developers’ time is your most precious resource. Generating and delivering data fast materially improves velocity
Security Matters More
Your intellectual property requires industrial-grade security. Our #1 priority is security. Read more about our practices here.
The Build Must Be Perfect
Builds are the heartbeat of the project. They must be generated reliably and consistently.
Who We Are
Lucian Cesca & Albert Reed
Lucian and Albert are co-founders of Universal Foundry. Lucian brings a background in high-security infrastructure engineering from the healthcare (healthfinch), self-driving car (ArgoAI), and financial services industries. Al's background is in games having founded Demiurge Studios which grew to a 100 person studio and was acquired in 2015. Together, they founded Atlas and developed a tool to help large financial institutions manage their regulatory compliance risk. Atlas was acquired in 2023 by RSA. Both graduated with a BS from Carnegie Mellon University
