Shacknews caught up with Tim Sweeney at the Game Developers Choice Awards at GDC 2017. Tim had just received the Lifetime Achievement Award, which puzzled him somewhat as he doesn't feel that old. We talked about his times as a Shacker posting on sCary's Shugashack and some of his favorite games of all time. We also asked Tim where he sees the Unreal Engine going in the future and how Duke Nukem 3D influenced his work. Please take a look at this interview from GDC 2017 to find out how Tim Sweeney plans on doing it for Shacknews going forward.
