The team started from a blank slate and now less than three weeks later, we have a look at the game\u2019s very first deathmatch.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect from a game that is barely three weeks old, it\u2019s extremely rough around the edges. But as senior designer Nick Donaldson points out, the current iteration features a functional weapon system, some basic player movements and a \u201cquestionably operational\u201d kill system. Naturally, it\u2019s being built using the Unreal Engine 4.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XupPMjJB0-8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The footage shows the design team battling it out in a tiny multiplayer arena that consists of little more than boxes for props and a blue sky overhead. The team even called Donaldson out for using hacks like wall dodging \u2013 the type of stuff that won\u2019t make it into the game\u2019s final cut.<\/p>\n<p>Epic Games revealed plans for the new game back on May 8 during a live Twitch session. The game will stay true to its roots as a competitive first-person shooter although the development team is taking a unique approach this time around by offering the game completely free of charge. Furthermore, they\u2019re asking Unreal Engine 4 developers and fans of the franchise to contribute to the project via the Unreal Engine 4 community.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s being created for Windows, Mac and Linux. A user-playable version of the game is still many months away but it\u2019s good to see that the team already has a working prototype.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/56937-heres-what-the-new-unreal-tournament-game-looks-like-after-just-three-weeks-of-development.html\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s what the new Unreal Tournament game looks like after just three weeks of development &#8211; TechSpot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, Epic Games announced the next installment in the Unreal Tournament franchise.
