    Edit: I'm seeing a lot of comments about the "Unity is dead" title. I just meant it as a concise way to word my feelings about the choices Unity has been making, I'm not saying that Unity is unusable or that you shouldn't make games in Unity anymore. For the sake of the people still using Unity, I hope that the leadership can prove me wrong in the future, but like I said since I switched I haven't been concerning myself too much with what's going on with Unity since I switched.

      Unity is not dead.
      Not sure what's your point. Sounds like you have no clue what you are talking about.
      A tip from me would be to restudy what actually happened with the Unity runtime fees and understand it's actual effects on game developers.
      Don't be afraid of digging deep into the politics of the engine you use, if you want it to be your main tool and main source of job, you gotta understand it and use it for max.
      And being scared of your tool every time a group of kids on the internet are boycotting it will eventually lead you to nowhere.
      Good luck with whatever you choose

    I mean, you never really needed Unity for this game in the first place. There's nothing (in technical terms) on it that's "undoable" in pretty much every other relevant engine, even GameMaker - tho yeah, I think Godot is clearly better for the task if you plan to continuously expand upon it. There's really a lot of unnecessary and overly complicated features/tasks in Unity when you're working with such simple 2d games.

    • @theodorus956
      @theodorus956 3 місяці тому +2

      It's not really about what's "technically doable," obviously a simple 2D pixel art game doesn't even need to use any engine at all to render. But there's more to an engine than just rendering -- my original decision to use Unity to make Keeper was more about the toolset that helped me make the game. Things like the scene tree, tilemap editor, physics engine...

      @the_procrastinator8606 3 місяці тому +4

      @@nextProgram well yeah. By doable I mean possible in a reasonable way of course. Godot has all of these (as like 99% of such tools arent exclusive to Unity), and imo they're generally easier to play around with than in Unity.
      Excluding 4.x pletora of new bugs (which will hopefully get significantly less annoying in 4.3) it really sorta is a nobrainer nowadays to use it for 2d games unless youre not willing to dive somewhat "deep" into coding and general design patterns (for that, itd be likely gamemaker or construct), but anyway, dont think thats the case here?

      Even though every other game engine is a 'worse version of Unity', people still use them. I guess engines like Godot, GameMaker, Construct and Defold, while amateur compared to industry standards, are still easier to learn and more fun to work with. If Unity is the best engine for literally every game, we wouldn't have other game engines. Godot and GameMaker are perfect for pretty much any 2D game, especially pixel art ones. Construct and Gdevelop is great for small/medium sized experimental games, and uses visual scripting so it is easier to learn. Defold is incredible for mobile games, because it is smaller and way more performant than even Unity and it is optimized specifically for mobile games and even has mobile intergration readily available like direct IOS and Android exports and Admob, etc.

    Ah yes, the main line story arc of every GameDev UA-camr, developing a game for years, and then deciding to switch engines and recreate it all again in a new engine instead of finishing and publishing a project in the engine it was started in 😅it's exciting to start new projects, it is not as exciting to finish them though. Hence why many choose to switch engines becase it's kind of like a fresh start without abandoning the existing project. Staying in the comfortable zone of "the release is 3 years away" again and again 😅

    People thinks about Engine as seperate from the game. Which is not the case. Build your engine along your game (for example, have an editor and ingame scene you can switch to easily. Then when you need to do something in the game, just add this behavior to the "engine part" of your code. I did that in MonoGame and took about 2 month (and im not a good dev).
    And instead of having an engine like unity that use nuclear power to power a farm, you will have something tailored just for your game, making you code in a more efficient manner.
    Dont think Engine/Game separatly. The game needs the engine. And it is best when it suits the game perfectly well. Rather than using stuff like Unity.
    Just my tought on this tho. I think you're making a good choice since you also have your youtube channel to take care of. It is a godamn lot of work. I like your work btw ! Cant wait to play the game ;)

    All of that said, you can probably apply the same logic and questions to you decision about why not to switch engines as you did with why dont develop your own game engine. If your end goal is to make your game and game engine is not a blocker, then there is no point in porting, just waste of time.

    when making games with unity you have to setup 1000 accounts and download a bunch of bs to just make video games. WTF, it was way better when unity 5 was the latest version.

    Unity is not dead. The executives you talk of have all been replaced. There's a whole new exec team who have been selling off the non-game stuff and concentrating more on games again.
    "Word on the street" is usually bullshit.

    • @Am3ricium

      Only JR got replaced, whole bunch of executives who gave thumbs up and passed supposed bs pricing changes are still there, still in charge.
      It seems to me personally that they just decided to make JR their scapegoat, since his rep was awful before that. There are still a BUNCH (I've counted 6, may be more) of vice-presidents and chief officers on the board who could be directly involved and responsible for the pricing changes (speculation based on their position description).
      And after JR left, the devil is seemingly gone in the mind of a consumer, and noone questions other executives, that have passes these changes as well as JR.
      I would like to hear the thought process of people like Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President Product and Technology, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and some others (taken from unity "out company" page board list).
      Wouldn't you also be curious why is there 11 people on the board, and we all collectively blame one, like he made all that happen on his own?
      On the sidenote I agree that rumors are usually very untruthful. And when people say "I don't really follow news on X" and "word on the street that X is bad" in the same sentense, I just stop listening altogether, cuz now they just talking out of their ass based on personal opinion and bias.
      Unity engine is definitely not dead, and still is one of the best tools to make games. Company is bad though :^)

You know 2d game is already flat making the player flat is like paper sheet but not a human that has life in it , it's a bit weird . Anyways that was just my point of view people may see things differently .

  • @PHeMoX
    @PHeMoX 3 місяці тому

    @1:50 That's literally not true though. Switching engines is not a lot of work at all. Most people just never did. And most Unity devs are total beginners. They would struggle in any engine. And everyone I see talking about how much work switching engines is, never actually did so apparently. Or they would know it is not the end of the world.

    • @Nobody_In_Particular_
      @Nobody_In_Particular_ 3 місяці тому +3

      Depending on how you made, when you made, and how good you are at programming, determines how hard switching engines can be. For some it can be hard and a lot of work(depending on which skill level, or how big your project is, and for some it can be easy.

    • @catcactus1234
      @catcactus1234 3 місяці тому +4

      That’s also not true.
      1) Swapping engines may require you to rewrite your game to an entirely new language in order to be compatible with the engine. You can’t just click some buttons and magically translate hundreds of scripts from C++ to C# or GDScript. In many cases, this would be a full game rewrite.
      2) Even if the game engine has the same language, you may need to rewrite your game to be compatible with the engine’s design philosophy. A lot of Unity devs have been struggling with converting their inheritance-based designs to Godot’s component-based system.
      3) Some engines might have entirely different systems and compatibility, which can introduce new bugs. Transferring a 3D physics-based game from Unity to Godot is definitely going to introduce issues, especially if the game relied on Unity’s 3D physics engine. It’s not guaranteed features will work the same way as they did in your previous engine.
      The reason you probably haven’t heard that many people transferring their games is because of how much of a monumental task it is for relatively little reward (depending on how much they care about their engine). Most people would rather finish their game in the engine they’re currently using and switch when they start a new project so they don’t have to deal with these issues.

    Not sure what's your point. Sounds like you have no clue what you are talking about and making this video purely for profit.
    A tip from me would be to restudy what actually happened with the Unity runtime fees and understand it's actual effects on game developers.
    Don't be afraid of digging deep into the politics of the engine you use, if you want it to be your main tool and main source of job, you gotta understand it and use it for max.
    And being scared of your tool every time a group of kids on the internet are boycotting it will eventually lead you to nowhere.
    Good luck with whatever you choose
