Hi sorry about the name it's just I didn't know what to put there

I'm just wondering is UDK for making your own games or just making levels for unreal tornament?

Can you use C++ for scripting in Udk?

Can make other types of games besides FPS
(Open world TPS or stealth games ECT)?
 
Solution
Udk is not a level editor. It's a dev kit, hence the name. You can google a list of ue games and see not all are fps. Ue4 gets rid of unrealscript and is now completely c++.

Reading the FAQ, you can use the UDK to make games, but you appear to be limited to using the scripting language used by the UDK unless you pay for a proper license which would include access to the C++ source code to allow modifications. Even without modifying the source code, it would appear to be possible to make games of many genres besides FPS using the UDK.

Of course, if you make a game and sell it, you need to at least buy a $99 commercial UDK license and sign over 25% of your revenue past $50,000.
