Right now I'm just going to be brushing up on Unreal...

After that, I hope to either join a competent mod team or start working my own. If I start my own I'll add more details in a separate post.

I'm an award-winning writer and professional game developer who can also design and do a small bit of art. All I know is I'm super excited about this announcement.

FYI, if anyone is interested in working together my portfolio is here: http://adobbs.com/portfolio/

Also, if you happen to be a professional developer I am searching for freelance gigs right now:

I'm in a pretty much similar position to Andrew. I'm a competant developer with commercial UE3 experience - although I handle technical design and programming, rather than the art side of things (although I also have a thing for particles and shaders).

I'm kind of frittering around and seeing what's going, and chatting to folk already working on things, and eventually taking something that picks my fancy. I'm mostly interested in commercial projects; although failing finding one, I'm quite happy to begin on a new one; given that I've had a couple of UE3 tech orientated design concepts floating around for a while now :)

Picking up the basics of UDK.:)

I've been mapping for the best part of 3 years on other engines and I was getting pretty bored so this is going to be like a breath of fresh air.

Now all I have to find is something to work on.

I am learning UDK never worked with any of the unreal engines before. Then Once I learn them then I will be making a Multiplayer RPG as a prototype for a much larger project.

The RPG will allow a group of friends to get on and form a party to play through the Open world RPG. So instead of NPCs as party members you will have friends. We might even host our own servers allowing up to 64 players to get on together and battle it out in the fantasy world.

I actually was not going to do anymore modding or development with the unreal engine , as I was getting kinda bummed out over certain aspects that I wont go too much into. After spending close to a month and a half going through several different game engines to see what could be used for a project I and a couple friends wanted to produce, nothing was worth the time and I was let down.
Then I find out about this UDK and I was instantly inspired once again. Now me and 3 others I'm working with are researching some details on how we can use this for our project and hopefully this allows us to show off our skills in the best ways.
We are looking for a programmer who wants to assist with getting things off the ground, so if your interested you can always PM me here. It's not a paid gig (yet) so dont expect $$$ up front. This is more of a project that few award winning 3d modelers, a disney animator, and 10 yr+ experienced unreal modders wanted to focus all of our energy on for a demo of what we can do to show off to a potential investor. And hopefully someday get this game idea made retail.

I was using UT3 to make a level prototype for my indie game, now i will be using UDK for it, and hopefully for the commercial release as well.

Currently designing my company website, looking for an Unreal programmer with experience. It will be a three-man team (me in art, someone to be the main programmer, and i already have the accountant/finance person) with freelancers hired for any additional work (like music).

Compensation for the programmer will be co-ownership and 50-50 profits. After being abroad working in games, i returned home, and now i took the next 2 years off and i'm just dedicated to getting this done.

Started work on a prototype for the game I've been trying to make for the last few months (I was previously writing my own engine).

Currently have the mouse stuff working where the player looks at where the mouse is pointing at. Currently the player moves like a vehicle in that forward moves in the forward direction of the pawn and isn't aligned to the camera. This might change in the future perhaps. Also have a basic skill system there as well, you can use skills and they do that graphical cooldown spinny thing that we see in so many RPG's.

Next set of tasks is to get some monsters spawning in the map and having something to attack.

I ported my grappling gun over to UDK, took all of 5 minutes. So I'm currently playing tarzan around a quick level I made. Here's me playing tarzan back in UT3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7HwCjNvcBM

- I'm actually going to have a second go at it, for a variety of reasons, it was somewhat problematic when taken online. I'm going to try to do something more similar to towing (which works fine online) but at least I got my old grapple working.

- Create custom models/animations for grapple and probably 3 other custom guns at this point.

- Create skill system (as opposed to weapons), the idea being to create a basic gametype that has mixed weapons and "skills" (e.g. a heal skill that heals nearby players within 10 units of player).

If I manage all of that, and essentially have a working prototype, maybe have a few friends chip in and make my own gametype. We'll see ;)

But good God it's hard wrapping my strategy design around an FPS engine.

I am certainly excited about this release and have been working on streamlining workflow for use with the new engine... All new content from the ground-up.

The team I am part of are some of the most dedicated, selfless and talented lads in the field right now. With this new engine so readily available, we may have some options opened that were previously not available (for example, money for coffee and cigs!).

Our current project site is here (http://www.darkesthourgame.com), for anyone interested in what we are using as a baseline for any future work in the UDK. You will definitely see a few of us prowling the forums here as the community expands.

I haven't yet picked up the UDK (been busy with other stuff, and unfortunately trying to learn the Unity engine for some paid work), but here's a board with my prior works ..

http://ericblade.postalboard.com/

The new AI and crowd stuff has me highly interested, as those were very poor points in prior iterations of the Unreal Engine. I just hope that the networking code can deal with hundreds+ of things going on, it sure as hell hasn't been able to live up to it in prior versions. UE2 games crash, UT3 games go totally bonkers when I do the things I do with them. :D

I've been throwing around this idea for a map forever now, so I'm using it as an excuse to get acquainted with the editor. Anybody know how I can get more "hard" shadows, as opposed to the fuzzy ones that I'm getting?

I'd eventually like to do something original with the UDK, like an RPG or a non-realistic FPS (think UT minus any story or universe, just the simulation aspect). For now, though, I'm trying to remember all the UnrealEd experience I had back in the day.

Got the melee system to work in multiplayer.
Added actor information which shows up when you hover your mouse over something.
Added floating damage numbers

Theres actually a pretty big bug here in that the skill system doesn't actually work in multiplayer! You'll notice in the video that I fire off a grenade and it does 'damage' to the monster pawns but nothing happens. I wrote the initial skill system pretty quickly with no replication in mind but I plan to work on it tonight to get it working in multiplayer as well.

Very cool SS, out of curiosity how are you testing it "online"? Clicking the Server button on the frontend? I just ask b/c I'm fairly sure that's just creating a local game, not a true server/client game. I also ask just b/c I've done weapon coding before and how it works locally vs a true server/client can be VASTLY different. But based on your replication statement I sort of got the impression you might be running a real client/server game, I haven't figured how to set that up yet. Regardless, very cool stuff.

I don't use the front end in this case. What I do here is start up a dedicated server by using ".\Binaries\UDK.exe server test", which starts up the UDK in server mode running the test map. I then start up ".\Binaries\UDK.exe" which loads up a client for me. From the client I access the console by pressing "Tilde" and then use "open <ip-address>" substituting <ip-address> with my own internal one (not 127.0.0.1). Then I use another machine to create another client as well and connect. Then we test out various things.

I just ask b/c I'm fairly sure that's just creating a local game, not a true server/client game.Not sure. I don't use the front end at all, so I have no idea. I plan to write UWindow3 which will be an Unrealscript version of UIScene.

I also ask just b/c I've done weapon coding before and how it works locally vs a true server/client can be VASTLY different.Yep. It sure can be. Can be difference between it working properly but at worst working incorrectly to cause out of sync clients and server!

But based on your replication statement I sort of got the impression you might be running a real client/server game, I haven't figured how to set that up yet. Regardless, very cool stuff.Thanks!

Last I checked, the Indie Games size limit is something like 150mb, so I'm not sure how that would work out. I'm sure you could fit at least a decent UE3 game in that, nothing really fancy though.

On Epic's side of things, you're looking at adding an Xbox 360 compiler to UDK, and a lot of negotiation with Microsoft over their license to distribute said compiler. On our side of things, we'd be looking at paying $99/year for XNA membership, along with Microsoft's royalty terms for Indie Games (they take up to 75% if your game is "featured").

All Microsoft would have to do is collect money. Sounds good for them.

I also liked the lighting improvements, however, I am actually very disappointed by we actually end up with again - it doesn't even approach the quality of lighting in any other modern game engine, some of which do better than UE3 -in realtime-.

That sounds like the crowd system that was present in UT3, rather than the one present in the latest build of the engine. I think you're missing something, because this video shows it working fine in UDK;

Any other modern engine? Would you like to name three other game engines that are capable of producing shadows with that sort of definition? Especially in real-time. Whilst I'm not personally a fan of the examples in the UDK, being overly washed-out and bright, the lighting system itself isn't that weak.

I'd anticipate that it not having collision is a deliberate move to prevent causing issues where players and objects can get stuck too easily, or for creating nasty physics feedback loops. It might be possible to 'turn it on', but I haven't played with it enough to find out. Personally, I'd be using it with chunks smaller than should require collision.

The only MMO aspect will be trading/selling inventory, chatting, ranking up, and so on which will all be done via online database and IRC for chatting. Other than that our game is like a giant well organized lobby that has a user database that keeps track of who places, times, cash, and inventory.

Your materials are looking pretty good. I especially like the grey tiles on the floor. I'm not sure about the section with the RedX tile though, it looks a bit out of place?

Thanks ambershee, its still very early and still need alot of work, thx for pointing that RedX bit, I was thinking of taking it out anyways, you pretty much confirmed it :)

Your project sounds interesting. I would like to see how that progresses. Nice work on the car, there seems to be a bit of texture stretching or a lower quality texture right above the grill area but I'm guessing the hood will be covering that up anyways right?

Not entirely sure if the UDK will have an XBox360 version as you'd have to go through Microsoft certification.

I am already a certificated XBLA developer. And it´s possible to use the UDK with the Xbox 360.

Working on?

Right now nothing, I'm just a beginner with this engine, but not with modding and 3d modeling.
Well, I'm just trying to see if I can use this engine for Architectural Visualization and use it as my primary engine, but I really would like to use this engine to create my own game...

The idea is quite simple, to develop an action game ( Devil May Cry, God of War like ) borrowing some ideas from the already mentioned games and add couples of my ideas...
Too bad that I have no time to do this, infact I was starting modeling the main character, but no one is waiting for my game to came out, so I'll take it easy!

Anyway, if I'll start again to develop something I'll open some WIP with characters, environments and storyline...but I don't think that this will happen so soon...

Btw I really would like to see some good games made with this engine!!

The docs specifically state that the crowd system does not do collision detection, and although the features page seems to indicate that individual members of crowds can interact with players, you said a few posts before that it doesn't work in multiplayer, and judging from the docs, it looks like it's pretty much useless except to drop a bunch of low detail skeletalmeshes all over your level as decorations that move some. really, without collision detection, you can't shoot them, run them over, etc, and what's the point of having a crowd in a game if you can't do anything with them? might as well just use sprites.

According to Raven's video, you can most definitely turn on collision detection for crowds in the UDK. I'm not sure why the official docs say otherwise. But you are right, its pretty much for cut scenes and background decoration.

Wrong. From what I've done with them you can shoot and kill them, etc. Haven't tried running them over yet . . .

anyways, there even in one of the UDK example maps. Go to that and shoot at them through the grates. You'll see.

Yes I'm running around 12k right now. i tend to overbuild and then cut the fat. It's just the way i work. I don't like to compromise on the design until I get to a finished point. As for ref, I went to the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix, I have an extensive library on bike stuff (design/style/ect) and I have an art degree in Illustration. It was something i drew out some time ago as well as a dozen other designs. We'll see how it plays out. the main issue is keeping things convex. thanks for watching.

Wouldn't a high poly model be the correct approach according to this ref?
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ImportingStaticMeshTutorial.html
Then bring into UDK a low poly version?

Not sure when to employ those techniques other than character creation. I've made a lot of static meshes but so far, none of them had any need for a high poly count --> low poly.

There are actually many workflows. Some people prefer to build a high poly first and the bring that into a 3d app. From there they build a low poly, sort of enveloping the HP to try to get a similar silhouette. Another approach (which is what I prefer) is to build the LP and layout the UV map, then bring a copy of the LP into ZBrush or some other sculpting app and work the HP without changing the UV locations. At which point you are producing a normal map for transfer. There is no right way to do any of this, but I will say that most modellers agree that getting shapes and proportions dialed in is preferable to noodling details right off the bat. Also the silhouette I'm showing is the LP one not the smoothed version in other pics...Thanks.

Well I coded up my grappling hook, *seems* to be working properly in LAN mode, now I'm giving modeling a gun a stab. I spent a day or two going over tutorials and learning Zbrush, learning to retopology, etc. Still not sure I want to go with it, but had fun making it quickly in Zbrush. This is freeform, no concepts or anything, I just kinda sat there chipping away at a clump of digital clay. It's not intended to be realistic or anything.

I actually baked a low poly version out (xNormal rules) just to test real fast in UDK and make sure I wasn't going to spend time on a model and have it fail at later stages. This is the first time I've tried this workflow, Zbrush high detail/polypaint, retopology a low model, UV low model, send to xNormal, bake out normals and final texture map. It actually worked! Obviously this isn't textured and a projectile would go in the flattened area. Just for fun at this point. Really just wanted to test the new Zbrush tools for making more hard surfaces and less orgranic. This gun was just a zsphere once upon a time ;)
