I am quite surprised how well Unreal Engine 4 is developing. And the new licensing for the engine is great, especially for the indie community. With rapid development, looking back towards the previous versions, I can’t help to wonder about the future of UE. After 4.9 I expect it to enter 5.0 at some point. This leaves me wondering if the same licensing terms for UE5 will be applied.
So as the title implies, will UE5 continue the footsteps of UE4.x, or will UE4.x be the one and only version that is to be as free as it is today?
Unreal 5 won’t show its face for at least the next 5~10 years.
When they think it’s needed, will be something in the matter of DirectX12 only, real-time raytracing render as default and maybe even VR only
For now EU4 is still on top of the mountain and there’s no need for a UE5.
Hi, yes the licensing and capability of UE4 is quite impressive. Here’s to another five great years of game development with UE4 2015-2020
To clarify, I don’t think we will see much changes to the licensing model of UE4.8, 4.9, 4.10, etc. as there is another huge goldrush of creating virtual reality games.
Alongside competition with Unity 5, Autodesk, etc. I would say the generous licensing terms of UE4 and Unity5 will continue.
PS. I was at a theme park over the weekend, massive opportunities for VR themeparks or arcades with VR capabilities.
I’m running Windows 10 now and nothing catastrophic thus far. What people ARE finding creepy though is apparently how the prompts to upgrade to Windows 10 are now showing up in XP, Windows 7, and certainly Windows 8.
As though there was Microsoft embedded code/ spyware/ malware/ killswitch/ backdoors all in previous versions of windows just waiting for the right time to pounce with “UPGRADE NOW TO WINDOWS 10!!!”.
Most companies uses http://semver.org, it makes it easy to see if any updates breaks your code and such. Very often used in website development for example.
