Get the Unreal Development Kit September 2011 Beta off WP (1.5GB)
Epic Games, Inc. has released the September 2011 UDK Beta, the latest version of the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of Unreal Engine 3 that provides access to the award-winning toolset used in blockbuster video games, 3D visualizations, digital films and more.
This month, we would like to highlight Q.U.B.E., a promising UDK-powered game created by former classmates turned independent developers. Q.U.B.E. is a first-person game that presents a series of brain-teasing puzzles, ranging from physics-based challenges and 3D jigsaws to platform-based trials. We wish Toxic Games much success with their first commercial release.
Have something cool to show us? UDK projects can be promoted to the community in the Works in Progress forum and the Released Projects forum.
