The
Unreal Engine 3 already made a quite spectacular debut on iOS with Epic Games' own
Infinity Blade, but the company's decided it's time to finally stop
teasing and give us the software to
really play with it. Tomorrow's planned update to the UDK will deliver iOS support, meaning that all the fancy tools that helped make
Infinity Blade such a blindingly gorgeous game will be at your fingertips should you be feeling creative. Licensing for the Engine is free for testing and non-commercial use, but you'll have to pay $99 if you want to sell anything you produce with it, to be followed by a 25 percent slice of your earnings beyond $5,000 and, of course, Apple's 30 percent cut of whatever's left. That might not sound like the best business plan in the world, but consider that
Infinity Blade is estimated to have racked up over $1.5 million in sales already -- we're sure there'll be enough change left for ice cream even after Epic and Apple have had their share.
