Train2Game students get option to use Epic’s UDK on Mac OS

Train2Game students will be able to use Epic’s Unreal Development Kit on the Mac OS.

The new, completely free update, allows modders to use UDK to create game builds that can be released on both Apple and Windows systems. The latest update also includes support for Apple’s ios platform for smartphones and will be available this month.

According to Epic, using UDK for Mac is “virtually identical” to the Windows system. “Every UDK game’s potential user base has increased dramatically yet again.” the engine provider added.

However, those with ideas of only using UDK for Mac will be disappointed, the platform is only available to those who also have a Windows system.

As reported by the Train2Game blog earlier this year, Epic’s free UDK has been downloaded over 800,000 times and provides excellent game building and modding opportunities.

Of course, Train2Game students will have the opportunity to test their skills with UDK at the Train2Game and Epic Game Jam from 4th-6th November. To find out more visit the official Train2Game and Epic Game Jam website.

What are your thoughts on Epic’s UDK coming to Apple? Have you used the UDK? If so, how have you found it?

Train2Game students have an opportunity to learn about game development from some of the best in the business when Epic brings ‘Unreal University’ to the UK next month.

Earlier this month, the Train2Game blog reported that the Epic’s free Unreal Development Kit has passed 800,000 downloads.

The free two day event will be run by senior members of the Epic team and some of the best UE3 instructors.

The second day of Unreal University will be of the most interest to Train2Game students, as it’ll feature hands on guidance for those looking to get started with UDK, with advice on level design, mobile game development and much more.

The first day of the Unreal University event is for those already using UDK.

The free Unreal University event takes place on July 13th-14th and Train2Game students can register to attend here. Places for the London based event are limited, so any interested Train2Game students need to be quick!

So Train2Game, will you attend Unreal University? If so, what will you want to find out?
