Free Unreal Development Kit Now Available With iOS Support
The free edition of the Unreal Engine 3 development tools has been updated with a few more features, including support for indie devs to make their very own, high quality iOS app. The UDK (Unreal Development Kit) provides software designers with all the building tools and solutions they need to pump out a game or software app as if it were made in a big budget studio.
