Ive tried making maps, importing models, and started coding

for models it took me 7 days to find a converter to the unreal format, and it meased up the textures, and the colision detection for the models didnt work, it crashed every 5 min, and the lighting isnt in realtime Sad
Ah, that sounds frustrating. For what it's worth, many of Torque's lights are not realtime either, and the ones that are can cause a pretty significant performance hit.
Also w.r.t. Unreal, last I heard, it costs more than a house if you want to develop a game with it.

Whoa, seriously? That's insane.
Depends on the size and location of the house, but yeah. At least one source estimates the cost for source access at $700,000. Other places I've looked at have said somewhere in the 7 figures.
UDK is free, but engine access costs a sh#tload apparently...

Whoa, regardless of what your purpose is, even if it's a nonprofit freeware game? That's pretty crazy. I bet there would be massive quantities of NDAs to be signed, as well.

They have various licenses for educational use and for internal v.s. distributable scenarios for commercial enterprises, but those don't include source access. Also, their licensing page more or less says they won't negotiate a license with you unless you represent a registered corporation, and that if you aren't a major game studio they want to see your business plan before they'll license to you.
