CRYENGINE is launching with its new “Pay What You Want” model. This gives developers complete access to the engine’s feature set and source code. They can set the price themselves, with no additional costs.

Users who make a contribution for using CRYENGINE V can allocate up to 70 percent of it to Crytek’s new Indie Development Fund, thereby directly supporting promising Indi projects around the globe.

There is also now the CRYENGINE Marketplace, where developers have access to the Crytek Library, with thousands of materials, sounds and 3-D objects created in part by the CRYENGINE Community.

CRYENGINE V can be downloaded directly from http://www.cryengine.com.
