Last month in modding...

November passes as quick as it came with a number of UT3 mods going "indie", while many others were released due to the *nearly finished* MSU (Make Something Unreal) competition. With just one month left in 2009 and the Mod of the Year not far off, it looks like we are in the "eye of the storm" at the moment, with a lot of stuff expected to happen soon. Here is a tiny bit of content to keep you interested, while we wait to see what December has in store.

Noesis Interactive teams up with Unity Technologies in order to release Noesis' Video-Based Courseware and Instructional Materials. Get all the tutorials you could ever need for one of the newest "free" independent engines.

The largest game engine in existence with hundreds of shipped commercial titles has just been released free for indie use. Make sure you find out all you need to know about getting your own slice of Unreal pie!
