1. Free-roam.
UnrealEngine3 does not work well with large highly detailed spaces - some problems with game process occur.
On the contrary, the engine assumes corridor approach to the construction of levels. Therefore, unfortunately, free-roam is not expected.
2. Release date.
It is too early to talk about the release date of games on the PC, but the demo most likely to be published this spring.
The XBOX version will most likely be released a few months after the PC-version.
3. The Game Editor.
Game Editor will be included in the game, along with tutorials on the creation of levels and cars for our game.
Fundamentally, it almost does not differ from the usual editor, used in engine UnrealEngine3. It only added a number specific to our project objects classes and opportunities.
Free version of the editor and all the information on it is on
http://udn.epicgames.com/.
4. Some other information.
Currently we are working on the multiplayer game. It will support up to 4 players on the track and combine several different game modes.
Also, we are now busy with translating the game into English and works required of the international release of the demo version.
