An eye-catching Superman demo, made in Unreal Engine 5 and widely circulated online earlier this year, has been taken and sold on Steam as an $11 game.
The original proof-of-concept demo – titled A Superman Style Flight Experience (UE5) – was created by Toybox Games’ Tyson Butler-Boschma, utilising the City Sample from Epic Games’ The Matrix Awakens as a sandbox for superhero flight. In April, Butler-Boschma made the playable demo freely available via itch.io, but unfortunately, it’s here things begin to go awry.
At the start of November, Butler-Boschma was alerted to the fact an entity calling itself Hero Game Studios had taken his demo – a project he created “for fun to show what could be made” in Unreal Engine 5 – and started selling it on Steam under the name Heroes City Superman Edition with an asking price of $10.99 USD.
