I've already made one thread like this in technology, but I thought this was actually newsworthy too. Let me quote the page:

"Unreal Engine 4 is now available to everyone for free, and all future updates will be free!

You can download the engine and use it for everything from game development, education, architecture, and visualization to VR, film and animation. When you ship a game or application, you pay a 5% royalty on gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product, per quarter. It’s a simple arrangement in which we succeed only when you succeed. "

WHAT?!?

>>2 Had the same reaction to it. Only like "WHOA!!!!!"

Hmm, maybe i can finally start on making the game i wanted to make.
Just need to put in some more ideas to it.

I was thinking the same thing. What kind of game would you want to use it for?

Type of game? A game most likely to be similar to runescape or maninogi but more refined and sandbox-e with a philosophical story in it. I hadnt done my research, as been heavyly loaded with work is a headache.

That kind of sounds like a lot of work. You want to do it alone?

That's a pretty reasonable royalty. I might play around with this later :0

>>6 You know what I think would be a classic thread on technology? A thread where scrubs ask for help with specific programming + design issues and people help.

>>7 yep, it be a chanllege and a chanllege i will take, sure people can help, but i feel like doing the build on my own first, since this would be my first time touching game development and as such
>>9 is there a thread? Or does someone have to make it (hint hint)

>>10 Ew no, I would rather stick a UV light up my asshole.

>>11 do it

>>12 I can record it, want to see?

>>9 You want a StackOverflow thread :D ?

>>13 I guess.

>>15>>13 =_=

free??? Unreal engine ?? Woahhhhh

>>14 I probably should've gone into detail, I didn't mean specific language issues I meant questions about design along the lines of what isn't accepted at Stackoverflow + all those other sites. Stuff along the lines of "how would I create the foundation for my game" etc.

>>15 http://yololord.com/immolation.mov FUCK ME THAT WAS PAINFUL.

Alright, because someone actually clicked on it (if you clicked on it because you wanted to see me stick a UV light up my butt then I feel no sorrow for you) I feel like I need to put a disclaimer here: It is a link to meatspin. Do not click.

Holaaaaa

>>22>>23 Nothing makes any sense here. Seriously.

>>24 Yeah, sometimes reading posts here makes my head spin.

>>25 Anyways, I guess I'll have to let this one sink. People(including you) seem to prefer trolling around than staying at topic. Well, whatever. If people want to have that instead of discussions, it's not my place to judge.

>>26 its a damn shame, indeed that some people would go for trolliness. But there are other dicussions threads, but hey, people are people, and they are growing worser as a society every day.
Well those that i know to a point anyway.

The Dollars should grow better as a society everyday :D

>>26 I don't like your spin on my posting habits.

>>29 good.

>>30 That cat looks like he was put in a washing machine set to spin mode.

>>30 lawl. Tha cat never looked grumpy to me, just bitchy.

I'm sorry that even this thread's been hijacked. It's just been a shit month, mate. It's usually better than this, I swear.

>>32 Yeah, I know. No biggie.
