What Unreal Engine 4 Means For Artists And Indie Developers
While Epic is quick to show off the graphical fidelity and raw power of their new Unreal Engine 4 (click here to see Cliff Bleszinski do just that), they are also hoping that the engine is appealing to game development teams that don't have a wealth of technical knowledge. The redesigned "Kismet" scripting system for Unreal Engine 4 is designed as a simple set of tools that allow for the relatively quick turnaround of ideas into full-fledged games. The video below, art director Shane Caudle, who has no programming experience, shows off a collection of minigames he programmed by himself with the help of Epic Games vice president Mark Rein.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
