Announcing Unreal Engine 4 and CRYENGINE integration

by Alexandra March. 31, 14 01 Comment

With GDC 2014 already behind our backs, there are so many outcomes and great new releases, that one can’t really grasp everything in one glance. There are, however, couple of huge announcements, which definitely are the highlights of the expo. These are the new subscription-based licenses for Unreal Engine 4 and of course the CRYENGINE announcement of their Engine-as-a-service. With these new offers, both Epic Games and CryTek made a big step towards reaching the indies, by offering them access to a AAA game infrastructure at affordable cost. The industry and community response was immediate, generating interest, not only for the engines, but also for high-performance, flexible, and  feature-rich user-interface solution with good workflow for the designers and developers. Additionally developers needed a solution that uses common technologies.

 

Coherent UI for Unreal Engine 4 and CRYENGINE is such solution. We are very happy to let you know that we already Do have integration with thеse engines, and we are working on upgrading and adapting it to the new APIs at this very moment.

 

Unreal Engine 4

If you want to integrate Coherent UI in Unreal Engine 4, there are two ways to do so. /Please note that the plugin is still in Beta and work-in-progress/

– If you are already a member of Unreal Development Network, you can post in the following topic of the official UDN, and we will send you the Beta plugin: https://udn.unrealengine.com/questions/199282/how-to-get-the-coherent-ui-ue4-plugin.html

Many users have tried Slate for their Unreal UI, but as it is more of a tool for editors, rather than for user interface, it turns out to be very complex. It doesn’t have a smooth design workflow, which is one of the best advantages of Coherent UI (see workflow).

– if you are already using the subscription-based service or planning to do so in the near future, please sign up in the form on the right, to get our plugin. We are currently working on it and expect to release it soon. We will keep you posted! Coherent UI is very indie-friendly and committed to the indie community.

CRYENGINE Engine-as-a-Service

If you are developing with CRYENGINE, then you may be familiar with our current plugin for CRYENGINE 3 which you can find here.  You can also find couple of blog post on how to integrate Coherent UI yourself here, The new Engine-as-a-service subscription program is expected to start in the next two to three months, and soon after its official release, we will be able to provide you with its corresponding Coherent UI plugin.

 

We are very excited to the opportunities that have opened for the game dev community and are pleased to actively participate into the creation of the next generation, high-quality projects.
