The <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/megagrants">Epic MegaGrant</a> program was first announced back at GDC 2019 and consists of a $100M fund for supporting game and media development. Previous recipients have included <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/epic-games-give-blender-foundation-1-2m/">Blender</a>, <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/godot-receives-epic-megagrant/">Godot</a>, <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/raylib-receives-an-epic-megagrant/">RayLib</a>, <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/laigter-wins-an-epic-megagrant/">Laighter</a>, <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/armorpaint-receives-epic-megagrant/">ArmorPaint</a>, <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/krita-receive-epic-megagrant/">Krita </a>and more.</p>
<p>The UnrealCLR project (we previously covered including a <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/getting-started-with-unrealclr/">small getting started tutorial</a>) brings CLR or Common Language Runtime support to Unreal Engine. In a nutshell this enables C# and F# developers to develop in those languages in Unreal and even gives debugging and blueprint integration support. Even better it is implemented as a plugin so you do not have to build UE4 from source code. In their own words, UnrealCLR is described as:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>UnrealCLR is a plugin which natively integrates .NET host into the Unreal Engine with the Common Language Runtime for direct execution of managed code to build a game/application logic using the full power of C# 9.0, F# 5.0, and .NET facilities with engine API. The project is aimed at stability, performance, and maintainability.</p>
