Howdy doo. I was wondering if you need to purchase rights from 3D realms to use the Unreal game engine for your own original game. not a mod, but a game i was wanting to sell.

any info on this would be greatly appreciated. i don't want to sell a game and find out that it's illegal to sell the game using that engine, and end up in court if you know what i mean.

BTW, you can find out about the game at my company's site: smileygames.8m.com
The game is called Night Stalkers: Vampires Kiss.

Yes, Epic (not 3d Realms, they do the Duke series) will happily charge you for the license to sell it. I suggest e-mail Mark Rein (**** how do you spell his name?) and getting information from him.

I don't know Mark Rein's e-mail address so you'll have to rummage through Epic's site and try to get some info from them.

Visit site
There are several documents, many dated as regards UT, on the epic tech pages. http://.unreal.epicgames.com

As for dollar amounts you'd have to talk to Mark. They are including tons of new material with a license though and it covers a lot of technology. You might also get in touch with the guys at AlienLegion and NeXS? I think they have some sort of license. Anyway you can always develop using Unreal then when you are ready to go commercial, obtain investors and a license. At least with Unreal you have access to almost everything you need to do a free demo. Good Luck!
