Unreal Engine 4 at a bargain price

[daqq]

Hi guys,

For those of you more into software, this might interest you:
The Unreal engine is up for licensing for 19 USD/month + 5%:
https://www.unrealengine.com/
When you actually sell your game/software you pay 5% of the revenue.

This is a major change from the times when you paid an obscene amount (hundreds of thousands of USD) before actually getting access to any code or development stuff. The engine itself was used in a lot of top-of-the-line games and looks really great. For those of you looking into a impressive way to visualize your outputs (simulation, VR, design) or similar, this might be an interesting path to try.

Enjoy,

David

I wish I had a space lifetime to play with this.
The videos of the environment building tools are really impressive.

For learning/play, you can pay just $19 for one month, and keep using the source version you get then.

Know that feeling. Anyway, yeah, it's a top of the line engine - a lot of the most known games used it - it's a serious tool.

An update:
You can play around with the Crytek engine (another one of the top notch) for similar prices:

I like this model!
