THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL GAME PROGRAMMING HAS JUST BEEN SET ON FIRE I AM NOT EVEN A PROGRAMMER BUT MY MIND IS BLOWN AWAY IN A TORNADO.

It is official. UE4 is now free and open source. All of it. For commercially released content, Epic charges 5% royalties or something (it's complicated, I don't speak legalese) but you still don't pay anything upfront and it's COMPLETELY free for non-commercial use.

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

From version 1 to version 4. Most of the games using 4 are yet to be released, actually, but you can see a lot of modern, high-profile games using version 3.
Basically, they made a free release of the tech that can potentially power the gaming equivalent of Hollywood blockbusters. In filmmaking, the equivalent would be getting all the professional studio equipment for free.

Wow, what an amazing free game program. I think I should make the switch to this seeing how I'm worried about using GM8 any more. It's going to act jerky when I get a Windows 8 laptop with GM8. I don't like GMS at all so I won't use it. Also I haven't done any game programming for three months. I'll try this out one day.
It's not a game making software like GM8, it's an engine; I don't recommend switching to this from Game Maker, it requires a lot of knowledge and experience with 3D and programming. I'd always recommend to anyone to start with 2D games before touching 3D.Technos72 wrote:Wow, what an amazing free game program.
