Epic Games recently announced that their Unreal Development Kit (UDK) has over 50,000 users. The free software release of the Unreal Engine 3 toolset has been downloaded by people in 130 countries and 4,500 cities.
"We are very excited to see the uptake of UDK cross over the 50,000 mark in only one week, and we're looking forward to seeing amazing games and applications come out of it," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "We're also thrilled to finally be able to offer UDK free for schools and students so they can work with the same awesome Unreal Engine 3 tools used by many of the top game developers and publishers around the world."
