The Unreal Developer’s Kit is a powerful tool to create games, but it’s also not exactly easy to pick up. If you’re curious on how mobile games are developed, or you just want to learn something new, you can check out the tutorial that Epic just released, starring Unreal Engine’s Zak Parrish.

And holy boy does it look sexy. knj has managed to perfectly match the art style and the atmosphere of the concept art. The first image below is the concept art and the two others are from the in-engine map."
Human Revolution was one of my favorite games in 2012. Very good stealth mechanics coupled with fantastic atmosphere set a really nice pace for the plot. Loved every second of it, though in the Director's Cut, I'm glad they added non-confrontational means of taking down the bosses.
The Indie Graphics Builder enters its final stage of development, before coming to Steam, by crowd-funding on Kickstarter. The IGB is a comprehensive "Build your own" graphics suite for indie developers.
The graphics are meant for use with any 2D compatible game engine.
"For way less then the price you'd pay an artist to make graphics for your game, with IGB, you can create animations, characters, spaceships, maps, platforms, puzzles, icons, menu's, by yourself."
If stretch goals are met, the Indie Graphics Builder will feature 30,000 graphics in many genre's and styles. Kickstarter backers won't have to wait long. They will receive 10,000 assets soon after the Kickstarter's end.

Antarctica has never looked this beautiful and if this footage is anything to go by, we can expect some truly mind-blowing things once talented users such as Anton get their hands on Unreal Engine 4."
Am I getting disagrees because people actually thought the electrical storm held up as well as everything else in the demo?
The lightning storm looked weak as hell, and I'm sorry if you've never seen real lightning, it doesn't look anything like that.
I got to admit, It looks quite nice.
Why don't games ever go back to Antarctica... I love the snow scene in games...
