Epic Games releases Unreal Development Toolkit for FREE
Yes, you heard it right, the game engine that usually costs to license is now totally free for anyone to use (without any payments at all for non-commercial use). If you decide to make a game and release it, they’ll let you earn $5,000 dollars gratis, after that they want a 25% royalty – I would say that’s a pretty fair deal considering you spend nothing if you make nothing!
Years ago, before I went full thrust into PHP programming I did a lot of game development work in the community spirit. Free mods for games, free 3D models, free maps for games etc. Of course through all that I was doing it for existing games, if this had been released then, I may have just switched to developing my own game!
You can find out more about the UDK at the official website.
