Switched to UE4 a year ago and i don't regret it
Bge is still very useful for prototyping though

[miracleshappen]

This makes me so sad. All the efforts we put in creating games with the BGE and now they remove it? It's heartbreaking. Can't we all write to the Blender Developers for an integrated version of the game engine?

@Thatimst3r just continue with UPBGE and yes your tutprials are resourceful to me.

You help alot buddy, May God bless you bro!

Man, I am a very old subscriber, Used to follow your every BGE tutorial.But then I don't know what happened, you just stopped uploading. I began my game development journey with BGE and now I am sort of an expert in unity.Your BGE tutorials were Excellent.Really happy to see a video on this channel after a very very long time.Hope to see more stuff !!

[RyceKaeks]

Glad to hear from you again, ide like to share my interest in Armory as well and would love if you could start some tutorials for Armory. When I was learning BGE I started with you and I hope to continue it with a new slew of videos relating to the Armory Engine.

Nice to see you again! Hope you will be making some Armory tutorials in the future. The majority of what i know in gbe is thanks to you. Thank you for that!

[naikomusic]

Whey, i missed you! Nicely explained, I didn't even know Godot had added 3D capabilities, I definitely need to check that out!

[miracleshappen]

Dear ThaTimst3r you may be disappointed with Blender for the efforts you put in the BGE but UPBGE really looks promising and I would love tutorials on how to use it, after all the logic bricks system is still the same so you already know all of that stuff. I saw a couple of people who apparently have already made games with it. Maybe there is a way to open are old BGE games with UPBGE and we can continue from there... In any case, you are the best tutor for BGE and it would be such a waste to lose you... I don't like Godot that's why I found Blender, I was looking for an alternative. Anyway, whatever you decide, good luck!

That is strange, I have no issues with the construction of my game, Just creating a saving system. I am using version 2.79 for the game sweet child which is very close to being in beta state. This does explain the drop in tutorials and new about any game development. Maybe after the release of sweet child they will see how nice their game engine was and reconsider shutting down that aspect of it.

It would be cool if you make a series reviewing briefly each game engine, including unity and UE, so we can decide where to move on next.

I discover we can made many things about games with BGE old versions too.example BGE < 2.77 dont have slow motion setTimeScale() but combined ticRate with vsync we can got similar effect.Well may be for AAA+ games for now bge working low but yet is very good for make games!

I think your age is Please make Armory3D tutorials in the future, because no one makes game engine tutorials better than you.

[green-gamerakaconnor]

anyone else have a problem where if you add or use a background it will crash

[urukhai]

Armory3D looks exciting. But the problem with Armory3D is Haxe language. I could find only one tutorial series in youtube for Haxe (well it's mostly about Kha). So coding side of Armory will be hard. I wish they could include Lua or Python option for coding purposes. That would break multiplatform publishing but it also would be easier to learn for beginners.

[SapphFire]

:o
Great video. You explained everything really well.

[AstralSnowstorm]

Not to mention, what did I do to BGE?

[wpyx]

I'm still bummed. I spent all last winter working on a game and it's half finished.

Can one import an old BGE file into a new game engine without having to rewrite the whole damn thing?

[kurstinday]

As of UPBGE can i transfer my game to that engine?

[adarshpandey]

When will you start making regular videos like you used to? I really liked watching your videos. Please start making regular videos 😢

[Amadeone]

It's sad. I won't be even able to use cycles. I've used blender internal to make quick renders and things like this. And a simple scene in cycles takes around 0.5 h to render on my potato. And I realy like BGE too!
