  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test 2

    Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • Some of my olddddd work

    (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

And you can buy it of Steam for $14.95(US) which is like $19 Australian.

It's RoboBlitz, and from various reports, the Unreal Engine 3 editor is included, as well as Kismet (the scripting tool which allows you to create complex games. Mark Rein said that you could make a Tetris game with it, for example).

Anyway, Unreal Tournament 2007 hasn't been given an official release date yet but I'm assuming that it's still a while off yet, so this is a really nice and relatively inexpensive way to get accustomed to the Unreal Engine 3 in the meantime. The RoboBlitz developers are putting up a modding wiki soon which will be very handy indeed. More details in their forum.

I downloaded the demo, and then... found out that it won't work with my gfx card. I was hoping it would fall back and support it, but oh well. Time to upgrade Maybe when Quake Wars gets released though!

I think the developers of RoboBlitz are going to get a lot more sales of their game due to a lot of people wanting to try out the UE3 editor. I'm not sure if that was part of the plan, but it's one I think Epic should have considered doing themselves. Release the tools and a smaller scaled game (something really cool like Team Fortress or Portal for example) at a reasonable price ($20 is very reasonable!) and prepare the modding community while the main game (UT2K7) is still underway.

Having said that, I've read elsewhere that the tools were still a very work in progress, with some features still very unstable. There was some developer complaints I've read elsewhere, most responding to an unofficial complaint from the developers of some UE3 based game which I have forgotten the name of.

I know that I'm planning to grab this just to play around with the UE3 tools, definitely a good business plan on this companys part. :)

Hey can some1 point me towards good reference/links for Kismet and the new Ued? Or is it all hidden at UDN for engine licensees only?

Had a bit of a play around with it today, made a basic map and added some dynamic lights. The interface is similar but almost all the underlying systems have changed compred to UE2. It will take a lot of learning...but it'll also be quite enjoyable :D

I'll have to use it more to get a proper impression.

The RoboBlitz devs are answering questions and giving tips on the BeyondUnreal forums.nexx2006-11-11 01:18:02

Really looking forward to UnrealED as well. Guess I'll upgrade next year, I suppose. Well, buy a new system. But yeah.
