I'm looking into UE4 for my next game, too, and Mono is one of the reasons why - there seems to be a focus on big picture features at the expense of the day to day quality improvements.
For instance, my game builds are ridiculously large, because you can't store your textures in a losslessly compressed format (you can load from URL a png manually, but then you have to manually apply them to your models).
Unity has been so successful because it's been an "OK" tool in a land of rubbish. It seems as though it's finally getting some strong competition at a comparable price point, which is great for everyone.
Either Unity will step its game up (which I'd love, I don't want to switch tools), or it'll enter a long, slow period of decline.
- socialist_coder 13y agoUnity 4.3+ lets you choose "png" format as part of the native 2d support. No more 16/24/32 bit uncompressed as the only lossless formats. I'm not sure if the new "png" format would work for 3d textures though- there might be some other weirdness there (like maybe you can't turn on mipmaps or something) since it's supposed to be used for 2d sprites.
