And it's free  but it's enormous to learn how it's working !

·  A team creates a game with UDK that they intend to sell. After six months of development, they release the game through digital distribution and they earn €15,000 in the first calendar quarter after release. Their use of UDK during development requires no fee. Upon release they would pay US $99.99 for a Royalty Bearing license.  After earning €15,000, they would be required to pay Epic €2,500 (€0 on the first €5,000 in revenue, and €2,500 on the next €10,000 in revenue). On subsequent revenue, they are required to pay the 25% royalty.

25%? Insanity.

A nice big bank loan for an equally good engine without roylaty would pay off at around twice the rate.

But it's a good business model for them.

And don't forget the UDK is script-based.

Please note that in the future if you are posting in the Comparison Forum w/o an actual comparison then the post will be deleted.  This is not a competition announcement forum, it is for comparison against TV3D.  Thank you.

My opinion is that the incredible things began to happen in the game engine scene, as I look at the year before, this is incredible.

It's got some powerful tools but as a programmer coming from TV3D I was massively confused by the coding part.

I did like the content pipe line, light mapping tool and various features of the level editor. It would be nice to have some of these tools available in TV3D.
