Beyond3D has a short Q&A with Tim Sweeney of Epic Games, mostly discussing Unreal Engine 3.0. (Thanks PU)
Intel17: Also, I've noticed you've really stepped back from direct involvement on the rendering side of things, could you tell me what your current involement in the engine is?
Tim Sweeney: Mainly I've been doing "technical director" type work here, working with the ever-growing engine team to assure that we're doing the right things and doing them optimally, plus various next-gen (and even next-next-gen) R&D projects we're not talking about, and travelling around the world to meet with folks using or considering UE3 as well as keeping up to date with the GPU and CPU folks. Definitely I'm doing a lot less coding these days than past years, but that changes cyclically (I did very little programming in 1993-1994 between Jill of the Jungle shipping and beginning on Unreal too.)
