How much experience do you have with Unreal engine and game dev? If you think art-style is dependent on game engine you probably don't know what you are talking about. Modern game engines are pretty much like an operating system, there's little constraint in terms of what you can achieve artistically.
- chii 5y ago> can achieve artistically of course you can achieve any art style. I'm saying that low effort games you can find on steam, for example, don't do this.
- Agentlien 5y agoThere's definitely little constraint in what you can achieve. But a lot of low effort games are made by only setting up simple game logic and creating a few models and textures. This means they all use the same default lighting calculations, post processing steps, etc. That gives them a similar look. Contrast this with more ambitious games and you'll usually end up with an array of custom shaders, a stack of custom post effects, etc. That really lets you define a look that's all your own.
