We want to make it even easier for independent game developers to succeed with Unreal, so now, instead of a 5% royalty after your game earns $3,000/quarter, you owe Epic nothing until your game earns $1 million!

Why is my entire gamedev feed not screaming about how UE4 is now free-to-use until your revenue passes ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS.
That is holy geeze good terms. Like. Holy geeze. unrealengine.com/en-US/faq

Working on a Blutilities talk. Anyone have any tools or features for level/editor workflow that you've always wanted? What kind of things do you do often and feel should be automated or easier/faster? Give me some challenges :) #UE4 1/2
