Unreal Development Kit 2011.08 Beta

UDK ships demo content from Unreal Tournament 3 consisting of four maps; deathmatch, team deathmatch, and vehicle capture the flag gametypes; one robot character; three weapons; and four vehicles. In UT Demo, human opponents, blood and gore have been removed. Levels have been enhanced to showcase recent upgrades to UE3 technology.

The UT3 editor is widely used for learning Unreal Engine technology, and now there is UDK, which will give you all of UT3’s game creation tools in addition to high-level engine features developed since the game’s release.

UT Demo is a great example and starting point for those looking to develop their own first-person shooter experience.
