@Grenade123 I think I read about that a few years ago, but I don't remember the context

I mean, I have a book on it from a few years ago but it was when the xbox360 was still the main xbox, before the one

@ping Okay, I'll concede that you're probably right in that C++ isn't a *perfect* superset of C, but as far as most programmers are concerned, it's close enough as to not make a difference

@GingaBomber let me guess, unity? 😢

good when you want to work in small teams

and cant afford the assets to make full use of Unreal

i mean i'm on a 3 person team and unity was just completely awful

VR specifically

Cause no source control?

we dont even use the unreal source control features

unity is just so boilerplate heavy

among other things

well, I worked on unreal with a team

and I found that awful as well

And well. I didnt like the build times

Personally preference it seems.

I dabble in UE4 a bit. Not coding or blueprints though.

and it would often crash when making release builds

Unity's level editor is better

Unreal have the same release build option support?

But then, I also worked in Construct2 and Gamemaker, so shitty structure is not an issue for me

I dabbled in UE4 with a friend a few years ago, and it seemed bloated for what we were doing

Why you ask, uni course requirements

unreal has an excessive amount of build options

ugh

Ayy, good old construct and gamemaker

One of those didn't have a proper if statement or something similarly common if I remember

Think it was gamemaker.

It had an or condition, which was not the exact same

gamemaker had if

you just didnt need the brackets

but unity's UI system is absolute garbage (world space UIs are buggy as hell too),
shader development requires hopping to/from an external program and is a real pain in the ass
the animation system is inferior for basically every use case
building lightmaps is REALLY slow in unity, has very little tuning options, and looks inferior if you compare a well tuned unity scene with one from UE
unreal comes with automatic LODs, and has a pretty nice system of managing LODs directly from the static mesh
unreal comes with many options for generating collision meshes

i can go on

Or was it an else. Idk, it was like 7 years ago. It was missing something simple for continals. Or at least I couldn't figure it out in the less than a week I had to work with it

there are types of shaders unity straight up doesn't support

so it is actually severely limiting depending on what you are trying to do

What I'm getting from this is "There is no silver bullet [game engine] for game development"

i mean

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/

literally the only thing unity has better than UE is docs and their level editor is slightly easier to use

everything else is just a pita
