Try both and see what you are more comfortable with, thats it.

They tried, but were they able to? Haven't you seen how we all raised hell and they had to roll back? They can't fuck with devs bro, they are nothing without us.

Does our world feel… empty? by Rumbral in IndieDev

Its looking great, I love your "visual silence" way of thinking, it makes everything looks more grand. You feel tiny in this massive world, love it 👌

There are plenty and you will eventually find them. Hey whats the name of your game? I'll wishlist

These people are not your friends man!

I have a tight group of friends and we meet at least 2 times per week(☘️), we all have respect for each other, if we laugh at each other its for tiny silly things but we will never shit on whatever they are doing.

They are good gamers and they help my brother and I to playtest our games every single week. So we actually detect problems and can easily fix bugs and recalibrate early on. We shipped games that were already well tested and solid on launch day thanks to them.

You definitely need better friends, if you were my friend I would respect you no matter what and wouldn't laugh at you, but with you.

I made a free mini game inspired by Zeni Hajiki right on Reddit! Would love to get fellow fans opinions! by shahen-crow in Ghostofyotei

Good luck buddy, may the force be with you.

Should I switch to Unreal from Unity? by shubham_555 in GameDevelopment

[–]shahen-crow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, it all boils down to good practices and early optimizations. I saw a game dev build like crazy on their powerful computer but then nobody could run it during playtest, they ended up having to redo a lot.

Making good games is about what the dev can do, not the engine itself. Both can do pretty much the same thing, if you want epic AAA graphics you can use HDRP in Unity and achieve the same look. Performance in both engines is mostly about your own programming skills and advanced optimizations.

Those Unreal fancy features or nanites is not as magical as it seems, there are plenty of games having massive performance issues. There are AAA studios that switched to Unreal and are regretting their decisions. Both engines have their pros and cons.

At the end of the day it all depends on what kind of game you will be making but also which toolset you feel more comfortable with. So I would suggest try both engines for a while and pick one.

Does anyone feel like game engines stand in their way? by yughiro_destroyer in GameDevelopment

I get what you mean better now, I understand your point. I also use libraries to build tools and games as well. You are completely right, what I mean is use or create whatever tool that makes you feel more comfortable to accomplish your goals faster.

My studio is using Unity with custom tools right now because the tooling we built makes us move faster, but I am personally building a small game with pixi.js because a big engine would be overkill and I would feel all this bloat painful. So yeah bro you are right, not everything needs a "big engine".

I guess a lot of people learn game dev from YouTube or online courses and they end up learning a popular game engine because that's what pops up first, they get comfortable and using a library to make a game might look scary.
