Ever sat down from a long day of hacking and thought to yourself “I wish there was a cool video game out there made just for me. Better yet, made by me!” Today is your lucky day with the release of UDK – Unreal Development Kit.

In days of old, the only solution to satisfying your game creation desires was a cheap game making kit, or adding to the millions of Source mods. Epic has changed tables by now allowing anyone to use their engine (non-commercially of course) to create the game of their dreams; who knows, maybe even the next Unreal Tournament.

UDK is currently limited to PC, but plans are in the process for PS3 and Xbox360 development.

Thought some people might be interested in this. It's free

I sense potential...

How big of maps can that engine support? Provided it has no multiplayer restrictions this might be much better than C4 for PR2.

It cannot be used for commercial gain, ie you can use it as a mod tool, but can not sell it as a game for cash.

You can still create a new game from scratch with it. If the dev's would be dead set on making a small amount of cash from PR2 to recoup their time spent on it, that's cool, but still, imagine the potential

Gary's mod?

Robbi · 11-06-2009, 05:28 PM

what's Gary's mod got to do with the unreal engine?

Gary's mod was a mod for HL2 using teh source engine which valve then produced into a game and sold.

The UDK release is for 'non commercial use only', that was my point, not that mods cannot be sold.

Yes, because Garry's Mod certainly runs on Unreal 3.

Well, actually, if you read a bit more closely, you may find something of interest.

Yes, no one said you couldn't then buy a licence, but that wasn't my point...

Point being, unlicensed software cannot be used for commercial gain.

It's a pretty neat set of tools though, shall be taking a look myself
