Mod / editor support for UE4 games? sounds too unfriendly

Snake: somehow I doubt a custom license will fix this. If that were true, as soon as one big studio “licenses” UE4 and releases a free UE4 editor for their game, everything goes down

sandboxgod: exactly. our studio made M&MX Legacy and released the modding kit 5 months ago, but it requires Unity Pro. guess how many mods there are for MMX? sadly, zero. and it’s not like the previous M&M games lacked modding at all.
and while I don’t agree with your views about free vs. paid modding, that mostly affects map/mod “consumers”, but the issue still stands for map/mod makers.

: your option 1 is what I’m suggesting.
your option 2 is too time-consuming. and just seems wrong to be using an awesome ready-made tool to make games, only to later need to develop own tools only for map makers and modders.

Some good points. But unlike Unity Pro, your users won’t have to fork out $1500 upfront. Instead, they can just pay $19. Not trying to take anything away from your post. I will go look up your game (merely because I’m not familiar with it)

Good Luck guys I hope you can come up with something that makes you happy

[edit] M&MX LEgacy-- You mean Might and Magic X Legacy?! Cool! I’m watching some vids now.
