Alright, so I have had a huge question with this entire "it's free" idea. Say I decide to go balls deep into this program, and make an all out game using the render software, level design, character design and etc. I make a huge game, but now I want to share it and make a profit, will I then have to pay $X,XXX.00, in order to publish the game, and if not would I be able to pitch it to a company without an impending law suite? I would like either a response from the Epic Games Youtube,or links.
@kevin957 its pretty confusing but basically: they charge $99 initial license fee to actually sell the game, and they take 0% for the first $5,000. anything after that, they take 25%. for eg; you make $15,000 on your first release, you will have to pay Unreal $2,599 from that $15,000. hope you got that?
Let's say you have CryEngine. You still can't create and sell games legally with it. You CAN with UDK, because it's not just an editor or something. You can give them a percentage of your income as a license. No loss.
So now every game engine is gonna have to be free or offer more competitive licensing terms... interesting. I downloaded UDK today and it works great so far.
@SaigoMember Yeah....but what FREE software can i use to create my own assets,texture them, rig them, animate them and import them to any of these engines?
The UDK is rly good, but they don't include Quick Save & Load system... don't knwo why... and UDK it's not this same what commercial developers get - u don't have souce code of the engine, but if you thinking about make some basic single/multi player UDK it's great solution
This seems to good to be true. Is this really THE latest build of the unreal engine for free? Also, will I be able to use UDK to make mods for games with earlier version of the unreal engine 3 such as UT3?
unreal is far more flexible for game designers and is more compatible for different platforms. the interface is more robust in features, and has easier scripting.
as an indie dev/modder, I would take unreal over a prettier looking engine with limited flexibility.
no one has made a true TC or published AAA titles with cryengine2 because of its flexibility limitations.
Do you actually compare CryEngine2 with UDK? That's like saying a clock is better than a lamp, or something. UDK is for creating games to be sold. CryEngine2 is just some level designer for Crysis. UDK is worth money, CryEngine2 is not (If it is, then a very small amount).
oke i downloaded it and OMG THIS IS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NICE IM GONNA MAKE SOMETHING UNREAL NOW THANK YOU EPIC GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!

Crytek has no future, their marketing model is not corresponding to the times we live, and soon they will see what it means to remain proprietary ;)

@TehRandeh i think its like $99 and you share a percentage ( i think ) which is an amazing deal.

Can it work for unreal 1998?
turtleturtaz 1 year ago
@turtleturtaz
no.
It's UE3 but free.
Source is doing the same thing BTW.
But I doubt theirs is as good as UDK as much as that hurts me to say that.
Oh and I read something on MODDB that CryEngine could be doing the same thing too.
Aside from impending apocalypse, this is the best time to be alive!!!

sorry but I'm new to this...so every time i try opening UDK.exe it says

thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated (:

Try reinstall. And sometimes you have to run it as admin. ANd check for a Desktop Link to the UDK, I'm not sure if the UDK.exe is the right starter.

The engine is amazing, but remember that the Cryengine2 from Crysis is much more advanced and comes free with every copy of Crysis.

Cryengine is also for making games to be sold. FPS games to be exact. Cryengine is capable of much better graphics /lighting then UDK.
EliteSlayer542 2 years ago
You can not sell "games" made with CryEngine. Only CryTek can.
MagnusRulerHardt 2 years ago
He never said other people.
Also, Cryengine 2 is a much better looking engine then Unreal. However, there both 2 totally different engines, and both things make them unique.

And CryEngine can in no way be compared to Unreal Engine, except the standard, default graphics.
