February 2012 UDK Released

[hal]

Epic Games has released the February 2012 build of the Unreal Development Kit. The big news on this release is full support for Scaleform user interfaces on mobile devices.

The showcase this time falls on Renegade X, pictured to the right.

"When the UDK came out, the team instantly knew that it was the future for Renegade X. We were already using the editor that shipped with Unreal Tournament 3, but UDK allowed us to make Renegade X bigger than ever before. Despite our familiarity, we were definitely surprised by the massive increase in visual quality."

I wonder if there's going to be PSvita support sometime soon. That would be interesting.

Not in UDK unless Sony pull something very un-Sony out (remember that engine for free development on the Ps3? Never saw the light of day anyway).

You need dev-kits and licenses for Vita, so until Sony solve that issue, there's no UDK for Vita.

Sony and Nintendo: Failing to see why mobile games are successful since 2007.

Scaleform user interfaces on mobile devices

It should read Scaleform user interfaces on iOS devices as there still isn't an Android version (or windows 8) in the UDK, grrrrr...

Really need an Android version, IMO. Opens up the platform to a host of new people since most Android devices don't need a market at all to have games installed on them.

Now there is literally no reason for Epic to not support Android.
