Lots of exciting news for fans of the tech behind games as well as the final products.
Epic co-founder Mark Rein commented on Twitter today that Unreal Development Kit – a free, revenue-share version of Unreal Engine – has reached 1.5 million installs. That’s a heck of a lot of novice, indie and hobby developers with access to one of the industry’s most respected toolsets.
In other Unreal Engine news, Rein mentioned yesterday that Epic had signed a “big new Unreal Engine 4 licensee” but couldn’t give details. (I assume it’s not Zynga.)
Unreal Engine 4 itself will make its public debut on SpikeTV tonight, in an episode of GT.TV to be aired at 1:00AMPDT. The engine was shown to press last month.
