The Unreal Development Kit Website now offers an updated October beta of the Unreal Development Kit, the toolkit that allows the creation of Unreal-engine games for hobbyists and developers. Here's what Epic Games says about the new version: "This month there were numerous improvements to the Editor to make workflows easier. Enhancements were made to the various rendering systems as well." They also highlight a UDK project, saying: "This month, we’d like to give everyone a behind-the-scenes look at a non-game UDK project. Developed by Parsons Brinckerhoff for the Michigan Department of Transportation, IntelliDrive is a driving simulation that shows how vehicles can be plugged in to the national transportation grid. We talk with PB about how they created the simulation – which utilizes multiple display screens and a steering wheel – with a small team in just four months." The new UDK is also mirrored on AtomicGamer and Gamer's Hell.
