New GDC 2014 trailer shows the highlights of recently developed projects created with our CRYENGINE Free SDK.

Our CRYENGINE® Free SDK is an all-in-one game development solution that can be used by anyone for non-commercial game development. Many people in the CRYENGINE community use this version, as well as a lot of aspiring and indie developers. GDC 2014 is therefore the perfect excuse to show off some of our most talented and successful Free SDK users – demonstrated in the trailer below:
