Haunted takes top prize, gets UE3 licence.

Epic has announced the winners of the latest Make Something Unreal competition, with the $50,000 grand prize and commercial Unreal Engine 3 licence going to the developers of survival horror modification The Haunted.

The Haunted sees "the forces of evil" planning to invade Earth, leaving a small band of humans to sort them out. Pesky forces of evil.

Epic praised its "intense survival horror gameplay, rich multiplayer modes, and nightmarish themed graphics" in handing down the prize. The mod is available to download from moddb.com.

Runners-up in the competition, which doles out $1 million worth of prizes to the best Unreal Tournament III modifications, according to organisers, include The Ball, Angels Fall First: PlanetStorm, Prometheus and Hazard: The Journey of Life.

Meanwhile, the IT University of Copenhagen won the educational prize, with the Art Institute of California coming second.

Check out the official website for the full list of winners and opportunities to download their work.

    Maybe this is worth buying UT3 for?

    it is just a shame that other developers did not follow Epics example here as not only does it extend the life of the ut3 engine (which fair enough is used quite a bit) but also makes it worthwhile getting hold of it if you do not.

    and ut3 itself is pretty cheap as its on play for less than 7 quid.

    Whatever happened to UT3 on the Mac? The code was finished but Epic never released it from what I understand. Probably would have made money though, especially if downloadable.

    Still waiting for Gordon to finish porting UT 3 to Linux. He did show screenshots of his work in progress UT 3 port running on both Linux and Mac, on his .plan page somewhere. Found the news item: http://ww w.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=ne... but too bad Ryan took the screenshots off in the meanwhile.

    I heard it might be ported to UDK (which means same engine same game but UT3-free) I'd pay a few quid to buy it :)

    UDK? Something to do with the Unity engine?

    Edited.... dumb me, UDK must be something along the lines of Unreal Dev Kit...... then it all makes sense.
