Anybody using UDK?

This fall the indie scene was given the gift of Unreal Development Kit for free. I haven’t been using it, but I am of course interested, and it seems to hold a lot of promise. The question is, do we have any LD participants utilising the latest tech from Epic?

Please share any thoughts on UDK and the viability for LD games.

   I’d wager a significant portion of people here have PCs that aren’t capable of running UE3 games. In principle I like the idea though: would lend things a greater diversity.

   I’ve been looking at the UDK and considered it, but decided against it.

   It would be like bringing a John Deere to dig a hole to plant that small palm in your front yard.

   I beg to differ: it would be like using a bazooka to kill ants. In other words, impractical but AWESOME.

   I actually worked with UE2 before and rather liked it, but haven’t played around with UE3 at all, so I’m going to pass on it this time. Next compo I might use it.
