You know, it’s sh-! like this, Trendy Entertainment…

that makes us love you.

The makers of Dungeon Defenders – a very popular multi-player tower defense / action game right out of the gate, have done something fiendishly clever in hopes of popularizing their title, identity and ideas even further (or maybe they are just crazy): with a purchase of Dungeon Defenders, you can now download the complete source code and art assets for the game, and their customized Unreal reference codebase which the claim to be one of the most definitive out there.

Users are actually encouraged to create their very own games with it which they can release, without restriction – the only limitation being that Trendy’s own executable files never be redistributed.

I have two feelings I want to share about this:

1. I probably won’t tinker with this for a while yet, because I am still enjoying playing Dungeon Defenders the game, and I know that once I crack open its shell, I will likely never go back to the game proper. This is why I never finished any Neverwinter Nights campaign; once I saw the engine, I couldn’t suspend my disbelief in someone else’s storyline in the same way.

2.This is very exciting. Can’t wait to see not only the mods but the kinds of games that are created with this engine. Add to which they feature an online automatic matchmaking tool for finding the best mods and Total conversions for you. Amazing.
