I Made the Same Game in 2 Engines #unity #unrealengine #gamedev #gamedevlife #gaming

Over the last year, I have worked on a 3rd person shooter project in both Unity and Unreal Engine 5. From my experience, both Engines have their strengths and weaknesses.

Which do you prefer?

Wow so much love for Godot looks like I’ll have to make some videos on it

On the upside it's faster, less resource intensive, and has a larger community. On the downside it's Unity.

[CalamityCeleste]

Unreal doesn’t charge developers per installation of their game though 😐 which would have the potential to basically kill any indie developers

Unity owns the games that you make on thier software

[bexplosion]

If you use Angelscript for Unreal, you don't have to wait for compile and the runtime speed is almost like C++

Ppl that say Godot is better than both are like a sect now. Its fine, we know it, now go back to Godot and make your average 2d platformer that won't make you 100$ a month, and keep shitting on unity devs that make 200k+ on their games, that they have to pay big corps to use their inferior engine, good luck yall !

Unity doesn't scale ''much better'' You just don't need to manually handle resource management in C#. If you know what you're doing C++ is much better

[sephirothcloud]

Unreal engine wins except on community, if you need an answer, well you are fucked, you need days to figure out one simple stupid thing

[avianaeternum]

Yeah but unity ended their professional relationship woth devs

[Velossitee]

Doesnt it also matter how complex the visuals are in the game as well? Also if you simplify your code and take more direct detours for connected items, it should help with loading I'm sure

do 2 years of unity and then switch to unreal - that was my path and i cant go back to unity and i only use blueprints in eu so far. But all the handy tools like the modeling tool, quixel, the market and epic launcher and so on cant be beaten by unity. Ue overall offers so much that unity cant do so easily as ue. Its good to learn unity c# for the base knowladge of coding and interface of unity tho

[Dremaus]

Well both of them are bad due to ESG funds

[ammythecursedfox]

Unity also is far easier on lower end PC's, and unreal more ofter then not fails to work on low end PCs even while meeting the requirements for the UE game in question
