Unreal Engine 4.7 Released

What is crippled about it? The company I work for literally builds games and we very rarely have to use any of the pro features.

The free version contains nearly everything you could ever realistically want to do. And some of the "pro" features can easily be written into the engine manually. The only hard and fast licensing requirement is the sub-100k revenue requirement. Up until then, Unity is about as free as it gets.

Except publish to something other than desktop windows - or has that changed?

You can publish to OS X, iOS, Android and Windows Phone on the free license of Unity.

Major restrictions are no render to texture and a Unity splash screen on the app boot.

I suspect html5 will be supported in free Unity 5.0 (it is in the pro version currently in beta).

Good to know. Thanks!

This wasn't obvious from their site.

I'll give it a shot then and see what I can tinker with :)
