Prometheus, The Ball and probably a few others were able to get early access to help iron out the bugs with it. Epic has been really great with getting feedback from the mod community to make sure the UDK is as awesome as possible.

Woo hoo! Nice to "see" you Rachel. Congrats on an awesome game!

Really good work on the game Congratulations!

Excellent job with the game as always, but, playing it, I think I'll stay with the mod version for a while.

I have nothing against making it a standalone game, but it seems to have picked up a few issues during the transfer.

Most notably, the performance seems to have taken quite a hit, though that may be a coincidence. The quantum states, as a consequence, are doing more and more of that quirk where they slow down for a second then speed up to try and match what I assume is a record of their movement.

Also, the buttons sometimes don't react to your quantum states (I can't tell you precisely where/when this happens because it seems to happen completely at random, and often fixes itself the next state). This also applies to the blue door-opening-thingy in Parallel. That's Kismet for you, I suppose, or at least whatever version came with the UDK. No offense, it just occasionally fails to work.
Speaking of Parallel, the music just flat stopped on me after a minute or two of playing it.

One last thing, very minor: the ending cutscene in Breach is a little ill-timed, as you can see the guy spawning just as you round the corner of the hallway. This may be a one-time thing, I'll play it again just to check.

Otherwise, the game is great. Good job at fixing the music layering glitch with Breach.

Also, since this is also technically a thread about the commercial version:
Do you have any plans for an endgame "boss", or just a fiendishly difficult/awesome puzzle? I know bosses for puzzle games are hard to come up with, but I at least liked the way the mod Portal: Still Alive did it. Not that that example in particular would really work here. Perhaps a state duel with yourself? Heh, I have no idea how that would work, but it's just an idea.

Hoping to see more of you guys' work in the future, be it this game or another,
XCase.

would you be so kind and show us how to set things up to use UDK for a TC/game

Well it is just a UDK port of v3 September release, so the focus should still be in a mod version for MSUC... They must have at least a couple of new puzzles to release for the Grand Finals, right?

I get more or less the same performance in both UDK and UT3 versions. The framerate is slightly better in UDK Epimetheus levels but the 'Select Quantum State' screen feels very laggy compared to UT3 version... Triggers not reacting to quantum states I think it may have something to do with performance: I never noticed any problem with quantum states in my usual comp, however in my older laptop buttons sometimes are glitchy, especially the Parallel's door-open thing Xcase has mentioned.

Music in Parallel was OK here, but it stopped playing in Gambit's 2nd quantum state. The lighting of doors sometimes was weird and achievements aren't working, but none of those bugs stopped me from enjoying the game once again... Looking forward to the next release...
