Not as active on here as I used to be, more on BSky these days but I had to come give a massive shot out to @RedpointGames & @hq. Hit a massive milestone over the holiday break and there is no way I could have done it with out their AMAZING docs and EOS Plugin. In you are an #unrealdev and you are using EOS do yourself a favor and snag it. Not to mention their support on Discord
