Dungeon Defense
Demo released for Unreal Development Kit-developed tower defense RPG.
GAINESVILLE, FL (February 4, 2010) – Trendy Entertainment announce the demo release of “Dungeon Defense,” its new project developed with the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of Epic Games’ award-winning Unreal Engine 3 available at www.udk.com.
“Dungeon Defense” is a tower defense and action role-playing game (RPG) hybrid created entirely with UDK in just four weeks. Supporting up to four contenders, “Dungeon Defense” challenges players to fend off hundreds of invading enemies by summoning magical defenses. The goal is to team up and fight with the help of three friends, beat the developers’ high scores and reach the coveted tenth wave of opponents.
“Dungeon Defense” demonstrates the ability to rapidly design full-featured content with the suite of UDK tools. The game's development process has been detailed step-by-step in a series of developer blogs, and the full source code is available for anyone to use for UDK projects. “Dungeon Defense” is available for download at www.udk.com/showcase-dungeon-defense.html. The game’s source code, a gameplay trailer and developer blogs explaining the UDK development process can be obtained at forums.epicgames.com/announcement.php?a=13.
