Epic Games is offering anyone and everyone an opportunity to tap into its next generation Unreal Engine 4 UDK (Development Kit) for just $19 per month subscription, instead of paying a large fee up front. In addition to the monthly subscription fee, you also agree to fork over 5 percent of gross revenue resulting from any commercial products you build using UE4.
Epic’s goal is to put the engine within reach of everyone interested in building games and 3D content, from indies to large triple-A development teams, and Minecraft creators as well. You can have access to everything, including the Unreal Editor in ready-to-run form, and the engine’s complete C++ source code hosted on GitHub for collaborative development.
