Posted March 3, 2015 Message to Code Club - Wurm 2.0 in UE4 please Seriously though, thanks Huntsman, gonna have a few hours of fun messing around in this myself. They've got some nice tutorial/premade 'games' complete with assets and code to mess around with, making it easy for a newbie like me to get into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) There's also brand-new info on Unity 5. The free version now seems to contain all features of the previous Pro version! http://unity3d.com/unity/engine-features Edited March 3, 2015 by Yaga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Physical Infrastructure & Office Rent Development Infrastructure (Code Versioning, Test and Integration Servers) Labor Costs Art Assets Game Engine License Marketing Costs etc Hm, okay... developing a game is free now you say? Thats clickbait for ya Gets more attention than: Game Development now costs slightly less but don't forget about all the other stuff you still have to pay for! It makes small scale / indie / personal / hobbyist, whatever you want to call it, dev pretty close to "free" though, as they don't have most of those overheads or can opt to do much of it for free/themselves. (For example just using free marketing, making their own art assets etc) Edited March 3, 2015 by Ruxin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
