Hey guys,
I was reading around on the internet and about an hour ago Valve revealed their Source Engine 2 and said it will be free for content creators. The article also mentions that Unreal Engine 4 is now free, but still retains the 5% royalty on all sales.

I will start posting a tutorial series on here soon for UE4, Unity, and C++ soon
I was reading around on the internet and about an hour ago Valve revealed their Source Engine 2 and said it will be free for content creators. The article also mentions that Unreal Engine 4 is now free, but still retains the 5% royalty on all sales.
Valve has just revealed Source 2, a new, more powerful game engine, at Game Developers Conference 2015.
The Source 2 engine is a successor to the original Source engine, which debuted in June 2004 with the launch of Counter-Strike: Source. Games running off the original Source engine include Valve classics like Half-Life 2 and the Left 4 Dead series, as well as third-party and independent releases such as Garry's Mod, Dear Esther, The Stanley Parable and Titanfall.
"With Source 2, our focus is increasing creator productivity," said Jay Stelly of Valve in a press release today. "Given how important user generated content is becoming, Source 2 is designed not just for the professional developer, but enabling gamers themselves to participate in the creation and development of their favorite games."
Valve says Source 2 will be "available for free to content developers," pointing to similar recent announcements about Epic's Unreal engine and the Unity engine.
Valve also announced a special version of Source 2 that will be compatible with Vulkan, a "cross-platform, cross-vendor 3D graphics API that allows games developers to get the most out of the latest graphics hardware."
Valve provided no info on when Source 2 will be available or whether it has any projects using the engine in the works.

-Icon-remix- wrote Does unreal engine have c#?No. However, it supports C++ and has a very simple to use visual scripting language called Blueprint. They have lots of very goo documentation on there site. I do plan to make a tutorial series that will cover making a game from start to finish! I will cover programming very extensively.

OriginalGangstaaa wrote which is best for fps games valve or unreal engine or if there is a programme better than bothI'd say they all work well for FPS games. It all matters how you set up the cameras that the player sees.
It's easy to implement first person to games within either.

I'm not gonna lie, was pretty funny that you had to mention that UDK supports C++ considering it's written in it.
