One of GDC's annual rituals is seeing the latest tech demo from Epic's Unreal Engine. Today the company held one of only two media demos for UE3 to a packed house of journalists. In an unusual move the company decided to start the demo by playing a game they didn't develop, the upcoming PC-Xbox 360 top down action game Monster Madness from developer Artifical Studios. The head of Artifical stated that they developed the PC-Xbox 360 version of the game in less than a year from start to finish (the game is due out in late April). Epic VP Mark Rein said he wanted to show how Unreal Engine 3 doesn't have to be used by a huge game with an expensive budget.
The next part of the demo showcased the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament. The demo showed a alien ship location with lots of shaders, holographic effects for things like holo-statues and more.
Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
"The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and indie games developer Ernestas Norvaišas, are today very proud and excited to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their train-led city builder “Sweet Transit”, is now available for PC via Steam and EGS." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.
