Have you tried SpriteKit? I chose SpriteKit with Swift for my first game and like it quite a lot, but I keep wondering if it was a good choice to limit myself to iOS.
What I'm interested in mostly is if I at least got a significant performance gain from chosing SpriteKit over Unity.
- morbidhawk 10y agoI'm not sure about the performance differences, but there was a different reason that kept me away from switching to Unity. I've built a couple games in SpriteKit doing it entirely programmatically in code and realized Unity is not setup to work that way at all. If you have experience using SpriteKit Scene Editor then you might not be bothered by that, but I was. Instead of Unity I'm using MonoGame now since it is meant to build the game using just code and I find it was a lot easier to jump into using my existing knowledge from SpriteKit
