Unreal Engine 4 Features Trailer

Epic have just released Unreal Engine 4.

This video highlights some impressive features of the engine, but leaves out what is perhaps the most amazing thing they've done.

The licensing is only $19/month + 5% of the gross revenue. That is absolutely astounding considering the licensing costs were previously at least 10s of thousands.

Makes a ton of sense to throw it out there cheaply like that. There's a lot of untapped talent that simply can't put the money together to start a studio. At $19 a month it provides a real opportunity for innovation and the tools look like they're designed so a high-end hobbyist can pick it up pretty quickly.

Turns out it's 5% of gross revenue, not gross profit. So just 5% of all sales without any deductions. Still worth it.

Thumpersaid:

Also they only take 5% of your gross profit. It used to be 25 % so this is pretty huge.
