Develop Games for XBLA

[hscsguy]

UDK still isn't offering the ability to code games for Xbox Live Arcade yet are they? If so how does one go about accomplishing this

You can use XNA (C# and DirectX) which allows you to publish to the Indie store. If your game looks good enough, you apply and they think it will make enough money they might publish it onto the Live Arcade store.

Although UDK does not currently support consoles the engine does. If you made a game, impressed an MS rep enough to get accepted (and therefore get a devkit) you could probably sort out some type of license with Epic. (This is a guess, but they say they are happy to discuss full licenses with UDK users in the FAQ).

still you must prepare for atleast a 5 digit sum to pay. (starting above 10K for a minimum)

The standard UE3 license is $350,000.

$750,000 actually.

but, that doesn't really matter in this case. For a custom/special license the price will be totally different from the regular pricing.

I said, AT LEAST 5 digit, meaning it could go 6 or 7 for that matter.. but no less

No engine is cheap.

Lies. No professional engine is cheap. Just indie engines and DarkBASIC.

and unity


(it's amusing how the conversation is been pushed forward . MORE!)

[UnspoiledWalnut]

I've always considered Unity an indie engine personally. Don't they have limitations that you can't have major publisher support for the license, or is it just 1200 no matter what?
