This needs an update to throw Unity down to F tier

[astrahcat]

Coming from experience, and a very very high amount of regret, use one that doesn't require a login or authentication, and doesn't lock you into the Microsoft ecosystem (Visual Studio). In other words, use one that's small, compatible with Linux, and unpopular opinion here...don't make a fully 3D game. This way, the equipment you need costs less (won't require an insano GPU), so you can focus more on having a clean setup and organization. Also, make a game that doesn't take more than 1 year to make, so if like me you're into making narrative fiction, make a 2D visual novel or a 2D tile based RPG. If you don't like tiles, use backgrounds, pre-rendered 3d cg backgrounds, just unless you're AA or have a lot of funding, don't touch 3D. it's way more than just an extra 'D'.

rpg maker mv aint bad chill dawg its limited BUT ITS SO GOOD. AND ITS SO EASY FOR BEGINNERS, MY MOST RECOMMENDED ENGINE FOR BEGINNERS

[polycrack]

Y’all why you do RPG Maker like that, it’s made some damn good games, albeit limited for training or small games it can be pretty damn good (unless your a madlad and decide to pull an Omori or TCOA&L)

I can’t be the only one noticing if you shake the screen around unreal engine jiggles

[KingThrillgore]

There's no good choice, but there's a bad one: Unity

[arrowghost]

As of today, it's not the difficulty anymore, you can see how much shit Unity is in now. Unity should be at the bottom of your list.

Gdevelop: Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to... ME! the best beginner engine!

[Caroteen]

Unity doesn’t work cuz it has a poppup of what to open the script I’m and doesn’t work does anyone know how to fix so I can use it?

[Wolfie-Mune]

GameMaker 2 is great for beginners! It was my first game engine!

[brittanym]

Me and my siblings are going to start producing a game, it is not released but it is going to take more than a year to make. The game will be called "Veil of madness" we are going to start this game with the game engine "Construct"

[betadase]

when u see all the engines youve used in d tier.

[erniebeasley]

I’ve tried 3 already, lua, Gml, and now I’m learning visual coding

[sassafrasofficial]

I love that construct is an A tier. I used it for a project in AP Human Geography my freshman year of highschool. Blew the teacher away (she thought it was something really quite difficult) so I got double the grade I should have according to the rubric.

1 of the 3 in S tier shouldn't be their.

[BeemannYT]

Unity then swite to unreal wait did this kid put godot at s yooo nah

[CactusMaractus]

There are god awful games made in the best game engines and there are insanely good games made in terrible game engines, ultimately it all depends on the developer

[idcrafter-cgi]

Unreal is hidin in the shadows here xd

[breadbouquet]

I’ve heard about some shady practices at Godot’s development, idk about S tier anymore
