Unreal Development Kit (UDK) is a free version of a program called Unreal Engine 3 by Epic Games. Epic Games is a popular company that has created top games like Gears of War and BioShock Infinite. They have also received attained many awards and achievements. Epic Games uses cross-platform game technology to distribute their games to many different areas. These include Windows, Steamworks (for online), Mac OS X, and iOS. Top gaming systems like Xbox, PlayStation, and Wii are included in these platforms. The UDK is for more experienced game developers.
The program itself is made with C++, but the game behavior is scripted in its
own version of JavaScript named UnrealScript. |

UDK is free until one wants to sell their games; Epic Games
charges a $99 fee. If a game makes over
$55,000 then Epic Games claims 25% of all royalties. If one has an interest in creating a highly advanced
game with the intention of commercial use then the UDK would be a great program
to learn. The program is so advanced
that it can also be used for television or theatrical animation. It can also be used to feature architecture
like in the side picture.
The UDK is advanced and may take time to learn. There are many help forums on the UDK
website. On this website: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitProgramming.html,
you can download UDK and also find many links to get started. If you
