Scenario 2 - A team is creating a real-time strategy game. No commercial UDK license or royalty is required and the individual keeps the entire US$75,000.
The individual decides to sell the weapon pack through a content marketplace and earns US$75,000 (after any fees imposed by the marketplace) over a period of several years. Scenario 1 - An individual creates a weapon pack consisting of meshes, textures, materials, particle effects and UnrealScript files everything needed to drop the weapons into UDK for use in developing a game. You do not need a commercial UDK license nor will the assets, content packs or starter kits be subject to the standard UDK royalty. Does selling individual assets, content packs and starter kits require a commercial UDK license?.Any pre-sales of the game are subject to the standard UDK royalty. For example, if you offer a $100 pledge that includes swag and one copy of your $10 game, you only count $10 toward UDK revenue. For "backer rewards" that combine merchandise plus a game, only the market value of the game is attributed to total revenue. We do require developers to execute the $99 commercial UDK license as soon as the game becomes a commercial product, whether through direct sale, pre-orders, or a promised "backer reward." All money received for game copies sold whether through direct sale, pre-orders, or "backer reward" are considered to be part of revenue, and are thus subject to the standard UDK royalty at the market value of the standalone game.įunding earned through donations, non-game backer rewards (e.g., thank you cards, hats, t-shirts), and "fund my life" campaigns, are not subject to UDK royalties. Using crowdfunding to help get your UDK game is perfectly acceptable.
