Seems that the folks at Epic are considering a free for non-commercial use release of the UT2k3 engine.  This article seems to state that they will be releasing a copy of the engine only (no game specific code) for use by those wanting to develop games for fun.  Sounds like a great idea!  I know atleast a couple college students that would get a kick out of this!  The article also seems to say that they might offer a cheaper purchased version of that release to developers.  So head on over and check it out if you're interested! |

Hmmm... It's easier for those students who want to make a game to buy ut2003 and start modding on that one, takes way less time than creating all the necessary classes to get a game.. And I know some people will propably 'steal' some code from ut2003, but that isn't allowed...
 
But who know what will come from it.. |
