They both have different irritations, but for most things I would still recommend unity. Much of the long-project pain with Unity comes from its biggest limitation, in comparison to Unreal: no source, and so you're stuck with Unity

I've worked with Unreal and Unity both, professionally and for many years. Several triple A games, indie titles, commercial sims, and social experiences. What sets unity apart by leaps and bounds is its asset store, community and educa

AFAICT, there's no deception or fraud in his behaviour; nor is there anything artificial - he's put real money down, and is offering real money. It's not like he's made a one-off tweet about it.

And video games, too. Small models may be useful for procedural content and dynamic environment and actor responses. The barrier, so far, had been the performance overhead of using them.

Yep, as a fellow game developer (programmer) I had similar concerns... Until recently. Unity had the issue of the high skill floor of creating meshes for scenes until recently. You can now build reasonable looking unity scenes using a proce

It's incredible how it sucks people in. The skill floor to expressing yourself is _damn low_; if you can draw 2D polygons, then you can make a Doom map with DoomBuilder[0]. But the skill ceiling is high. And the ease of creation allows

It's not immediately apparent from the street names; but the Grandview Highway and Georgia St effectively act as parts of a bifurcating through-way, albeit with a congestion nightmware between them.
