Epic's free development kit helped father make miniature racing game for son
A father made his son a video game for Christmas using Epic’s UDK. And he did it in less than a month.
Rob, or AggroFamily as he blogs under, is a graphic designer by trade, and his wife and seven-year-old son are both “avid games”.
On his personal blog (http://aggrofamilytime.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-sons-very-own-video-game.html), Rob explained that the idea to make a game for his son began when his wife suggested they all make their Christmas presents from scratch.
“With time short I had to make some quick decisions on the type of game and what I could accomplish in just a couple of weeks,” he wrote.
“I thought about using a pre-built 2D sprite engine that could be cross platform, but after looking through my options nothing quite gave me the feel of a complete game like I wanted.
