Which game did you like the best? Which game goes with which engine? (Unity, Godot Engine, Construct 3, GameMaker, GDevelop)
Trick question, cause I'd only reply that my favourite one was the one made with Godot, but I don't really know which one it is. I see what you did there!
Ah crap, I thought this was an old video. :( Now I've gotta wait a week and there is no way I'm going to remember this video.
@stayathomedev Hey, no fair ... you said no edited comments 😉
i would say first game was g develop because of the filter
this is really easy to add in g develop
the last one is maybe gamemaker because of the lack of spritemovement
cmn man haha we would like you to reveal a secret :D
Hey, game 1 dev here! This was a really cool concept, I had lots of fun participating. It’s great watching you guys guess, at the end of the day I have to agree that the importance of a game engine is just to the comfort of its developer. All tools are great so long as fun games are being made!
Amazing work by the way!
Nice work Sir!!!
This is late but I think it was the best one
Damn man i see u everywere, good job too sir, keep producing maybe in one day i ll get to play a masterpiece like something metroidvania game with elements from soulslike game, also cool spells🎉
wich engine did u use
Can I be the devil's advocate??? 😈The debate about engines is really about which engine offers the most value to the developers and not about what the players will say. Things like ease of use, price of the engine, supported export platforms, tools on the asset store - are some of the criteria to consider. I don't think that many developers are concerned about what the players will think because of course players often can't tell and don't care.
Yeah, in the end, it all uses the same gamepad, the same gpu... (outside of missing features), the main difference between engines is the workflow and the amount of work it will do for you on a particular project.
Yeah the discussion should be more about how the engines are structured in regards to workflow.
I opened up unreal, Unity and Godot.
Unreal takes way too long to open considering game dev is my hobby, not my job. That 30 min is a large portion of the time I have to make games. If I was working in a studio, I could set Unreal to open, have a morning meeting and then get to work.
Unity also takes some time but I didn’t find the user interface intuitive and I can only program in Python (granted learning C# could be useful). Unity has a lot of options and tools, but as a noob, I don’t know what those do.
Godot is still complicated but once I tried it out, it was much more intuitive for me.
I’d like to make 3D games, so the other game engines mentioned aren’t going to be for me sadly.
Godot is also so fast at opening that I don’t have that mental barrier of “ugh I have to wait” also my adhd could distract me during loading hours.
Godot being Free Opensource also just means that there isn’t a bunch of bureaucracy.
Game Engine hell is real though, so I would recommend people write down if they wanna do 2D or 3d or both. Then they need to just try out a couple and write down notes
@@KHJohan I think that the choice of engine should be based primarily on how seriously you are going to engage in game development. If you're going to be a pro, maybe even get into a game company to create all sorts of games in the future, your choice is Unity or Unreal Engine. I see no point in wasting my time studying something else. If games for you are primarily a hobby and you know that everything will not go beyond some simple project, choose anything. It might even be easier to learn. By the way, remember one point that a more complex engine is not necessarily worse. After all, it has already solved those thousands of small moments that remained unresolved in small engines. And you will most likely have to solve them yourself. Which will cost you time.
@@KHJohan It took me 12 seconds just now to open up UE 5.3.1 with a 3080, a 10700k, and a bunch of tabs and steam open, and the parts aren't exactly run to the ground but they aren't pristine either. It was saved on an NME SSD so without that YMMV but I don't see why anyone trying to use a game engine with a computer you'd use to run a 3D game environment (what most would find the most value in using UE for) and actually be able to run it at 60 FPS minimum wouldn't also be able to open up a modern game engine in less than 15 seconds. Fwiw that's still pretty long by my standards of opening up a program but your coding life won't change over 15 seconds.
@@luckerooni1153I can boot UE 5.2 in about 30 seconds on a 1660 ti msi laptop running a 6core i7 9000 something.
Yooo Godot dev here, had a lot of fun making the game :)
Thank you for the opportunity 🙏
Great work!
Your game was the best of them all.
*Wink wink*
Yeah number 3 was great
@cougarmama7589 nope, wrong guess 😁
@@kakoon4695 From your only video I guess is the 4th
I was very impressed with "Halls Of Torment", I downloaded the demo, looked at the executable and it showed up a begin Godot. I later bought the full version. Its not normally my kind of game, I like 3D shooter, looters. I have not spent much time playing it but did really enjoy it. I am trying to learn unity at the moment, but quite happy to try unreal and godot in the future.
Damn, this one was really hard! I gotta go with Godot for the first one, GDevelop for the second because of the strange lighting effects, Construct for the third because the fonts have a few aliasing issues I've encountered a fair bit myself, GMS for the fourth and Unity for the last one.
I'm kinda torn between the unity and Gdevelop one, but I hope I at least get some right :)
I wouldn't guess godot as first. Having that problem with hitbox in godot is very hard, right? Godot hitbox are so easy to make it right
1st is probably not godot. It had dithering for shadows and godot doesn't support it yet, so you'd have to work around it with shaders. And I suppose it would take more time than 3 weeks.
@@LedoCool1 Yeah, but couldn't the dev just use a premade shader?
@@AzureOtter yeah if there is one. I couldn't find anything like this, so I'm on skeptical side.
Ehm, the reason to chose one engine over the other has very little to do with what the end user thinks of it, but with what engine suits your needs the most and is most comfortable to use.
I used Unity to make my 2D Pikachu/Goku game. It was FUN making a video for it and enjoying creating the game!
Hey, GDevelop dev here. Had so much fun making this😊😊. Goodluck guessing.
Nice work!
Which game did you make? I must know, pls 🙃
I know which one GDevelop was. 😅
I recognize a few defaults.
which one?
and where is the official answer?
@@artoke84 I was wrong. 😅
They released a follow up on video on this channel with the official answers in it.
Game 1 was for me personally professional work is its finest. I would pay for that game.
1. GameMaker
2. Unity
3. GDevelop
4. Godot
5. Construct
It's harder to guess than I thought.
last one is godot by instinct, but could also second guess into gms. Overall no idea, but I wanna say the bizarre camera one early on was godot or unity.
Game 1: Construct, Game 2: Godot, Game 3: Unity, Game 4: Gdevelop, Game 5: Game Maker
I'm going by Construct and Gdevelop having building platforming behaviors that feel pretty good (eliminates ones that have bad movement). Unity because of the camera.
i like how the only ones i could properly guess was unity being #2 and GM being #4
i was flip flopping between which one was construct and gdevelop but godot threw me a curve ball
I couldn't guess, but im quite surprised which one was a GameMaker build! I'm working on a game with it, but still fairly new lol. Btw the answers are in the description if anyone didn't know
1 - GDevelop
2 - Gamemaker
3 - Godot
4 - Unity
5 - Construct
I am pretty sure Godot is 3 because of some quirk with the ui
And 4 because of the general vibe 😊
The rest is kinda afterthoughts
feel like the 5th or the 2nd are made with GDevelop
If someone gets it they should go to las vegas.
1) Game maker
2) Unity
3) Godot
4) Gdevelop
5) Construct
-godot
-unreal

Unreal was never used lol
they can tell the difference. Unity takes 60% of CPU. makes computer loud.
Any engine is better than Unity or Unreal 5.
Unreal 2 is actually a good engine by the way.
I only have experience with Unity so I can't really tell. :)
That's ok! Pretty much no one else can either :)
1: Godot
2: GDevelop
3: Unity
4: Game Maker
5: Construct
1 construct
2 godot
3 unity
4 gamemaker
5 GDevelop
Not sure this has been answered yet. But this is my guess.
here are my predictions:
game one: godot
game two: gdevelop
game three: construct
game four: game maker
game five: unity
Game Maker, Unity, Construct, Godot, Gdevelop
1: Unity
2: Construct
3: GameMaker
4: Godot
5: GDevelop
A craftsman is useless without his tools
The tools are useless without a good craftsman
We can't use the engine as a crutch, it's a means to an end
My Guess
1. Unity
2. GDevelop
3. GameMaker
4. Godot
5. Construct 3
Only have experience with unity, gamemaker, and godot. So i don't know Gdevelop and Construct 3.
Game 1: Construct
Game 2: Unity
Game 3: Gamemaker
Game 4: Godot
Game 5: Gdevelop
1 is construct. 2 is gdevelop. 3. Is game maker. 4 is unity. 5 is godot.
1: unity, 2: godot, 3: construct3, 4 gdevelop 5: game maker
I'm goin with
1) construct 3
2) godot
3) gamemaker
4) unity
5) Gdevelop
1 GameMaker
2 Construct
3 Unity
4 Godot
5 GDevelop
I'll player along and guess:
1. Construct
2. Gamemaker
3. Godot,
4. Unity
5. Gdevelop
My mostly arbitrary guesses
Game 1: Gdevelop bc lots of mechanics implemented quickly
Game 2: Construct 3 bc of limited mechanics
Game 3: Gamemaker bc idk I've never used it
Game 4: Godot bc animations, particles and filter
Game 5: Unity bc of the physics
my Guess:
1. GMS2
2. Construct 3
3. Unity
4. Godot
5. GDevelop
This is just a gambling game that no one can know whose engine it is So I think:
1. Construct
2. Unity
3. Godot
4. Game Maker
5. GDevelop
Mh I haven't used anything else than Godot, so I can't tell..

The only difference with game engines is which one makes sense to you. I'm pretty sure I've tried every game engine I can get my hands on by now, and the only one I've liked is Unity. It's just the one that makes sense in my head, the other ones feel dumb and confusing (yes, including all non code engines. Written programming is NOT hard in comparison to the ins and outs of your engine).
How other feel confusing and dumb, yes that true if non code engine is little bit "dumb", but what about code language, like Godot?
Wait do you mean Unreal Is confusing and Dumb?
@@eridadues I do actually like the programming in Godot. It's a very good option, just the general interface and structure of stuff is a bit overwhelming for me in Godot. Unreal is confusing and dumb, yes. They have an individual little window but every possible thing you could use, some of them taking an entire screen. The naming conventions are irritating and make no sense. And the visual scripting needs a complete redo because half the nodes do something absolutely different from what they look like, or do the exact same thing as another node, except one of them doesn't work. It's also impossible to make games that don't have AAA style graphics because you can't easily turn all the fancy stuff off, so whatever you make looks extremely uncanny when shoved into a AAA engine. You wanna make a PS1 horror game? Better find somewhere else because unreal can ONLY make AAA style games.
@@idoblenderstuffs hmm i now know that unreal like that, i say that because, uh just look how many people who use unreal, its possible they will be mad
1 GameMaker, 2 Unity, 3 Gdevelop, 4 Godot Engine, 5 Construct 3.
Its weird why that name is GDevelop, but in godot, Main language use is GDScript
Ok I'm gonna try to guess ...
Here are my prediction !
1 Godot Engine
2 Construct 3
3 GDevelop
4 Unity
5 GameMaker
I think #3 is Godot
1-construct
2-gdevelop
3-gamemaker
4-unity
5-godot
im really hoping that im right with 3, usually gamemaker has something spesific about it that makes it look like gamemaker
What matter is when you have been programing for 20 years, hahahhaha....
I know which game is made with unity haha
Construct 3 dev here. Wow, the guessers have a really tough challenge ahead, good luck!
Great work!
Would be great if it was revealed in follow up video.
It really depends on the creativity of the dev and how well they have mastered the game engine
All Godot is my guess. It's cool to see people picking out little details that seem familiar or specific to a certain game engine, but that could also just be down to the individual developers and how they code the game I suppose.
That would be have been devious on my part :)
Game 1: Gamemaker (the rendering looks like it for some reason idk)
Game 2: Godot (my current fav engine, but the char not falling on death makes me think weird godot physics)
Game 3: Unity (The camera was Cinemachine and had way to much x dampening, some of the platforms are 3d, while all these engines can do that, unity and godot are better at doing that. Also the low pixel effect looks like low res unity camera without aa on)
Game 4: GDevelop (I don't have any experience with this program , so just a guess based on process of elimination)
Game 5: Construct 3 (Screen shaking is a pretty easy thing to add and the animations being weird is classic construct)
This was an awesome video, I really liked the message at the end in saying that it really does not matter for the most part, if you just want to make cool games, use whatever you want. I'm excited to see which is which!
I've been watching your channel for a couple of months now and I always forget that you don't have 100 thousand + subs. Keep it up you will be there in no time.
Also I still hate how you say Godot, even if it's the proper way. Its like gif vs jif to me, lol
I think you are right. GDevelop is an easy guess because of the crt filter
Those are all Godot.
I wish I had done that haha. I wouldn't be that much of a homer
My predictions are
Game 1: Construct
Game 2: Gdevelop
Game 3: Godot
Game 4: Gamemaker
Game 5: Unity
The "GameMaker one" was clearly the coolest one for me
Game 1: Construct
Game 2: Game Maker
Game 3: Construct
Game 4: Unity
Game 5: Godot
I'm not here to guess. I just wanted to say thanks for the message you are trying to convey. It's true that the engine doesn't matter as long as the game is fun. That said, if the developers don't know what they're doing, it's just as easy to make a horrible game in any engine. I'd love to see a 3D version with the same restrictions using the same assets across multiple engines.
its hard to tell when it comes to 2d, but its easy to tell when it comes to 3d. because unreal has unique shader and shadow, and i can tell that's unreal engine when the first time i saw it
I won't get them all, since I have only had experience with Unity and Godot (which I guess proves the point of the video lmao). I'm going to guess game 2 is Godot based simply on the buttons, and game 3 is Unity because of the camera setup (which I'm guessing is cinemachine). Otherwise uhhhhhh.... I'll just pick by random. Game 4: Construct 3. Game 5: Gamemaker. Game 1: GDevelop.
Okay, so if we're going from the players' perspective, yeah, for the majority of users, it truly does not matter.
HOWEVER, this becomes less true when the user needs to run the game in a specific way.
If I need to add some parameters, or run via Wine, or mod the game, or even find specific data on the drive, then what engine is used matters A LOT.
Also, from the development side of things, I completely disagree that it does not matter. Some engines are simply better for certain things than others, as they have strengths and weakness that should be considered. If you are developing "for fun", then sure, whatever floats your boat. But in a serious production, picking the wrong engine for the kind of project you're working on can be a serious hindrance and, sometimes, utterly cripple the end result.
What I'm trying to say is: Can you make a 2D pixel platformer in Unreal? Most certainly. Should you? Very debatable.
Hot take? nah
I also don't think they matter, you can make any game with almost any engine, engine doesn't make them better or worse, what matters is if you chose the right tool for the job.
For example, picking Unreal for a 2D game is suicide, you can pull it off, yes, but the engine wasn't designed for 2D and therefore your development experience won't be good.
Wow. Yeah it hard to tell who used which game engine. As long the game play is fun.
Perhaps for retro pixel art 2D it doesn't matter as much but the bigger engines typically have way more tools for making your game beautiful such as advanced post processing effects that are multiplatform.
So where the f is the solution, there is nothing in the description.
There's a followup video
Okay, thanks for the pointer. To spare other people the frustration maybe write this in the description just like you said in the video. Sure, your regular watcher and/or subscribers will have seen the follow up but visitors like me will have no idea.
Game 1: Construct
Game 2: Gamemaker
Game 3: Gdevelop
Game 4: Godot
Game 5: Unity
This is more about the person making it than the engine. The same person should try to make the exact same game with all the engines and see if there are some differences due to limitations and so on

Game 2 - Godot
Game 3 - Construct3

5) Construct 3
Cool and fun idea
Libgdx for life
do you create games (mobile games) in libgdx? can you share them? I am in doubt between godot and libgdx.
@@marko95g it depends. Godot provides you with more tools out of the box to create a game. Libgdx is a framework and thus more barebones. It requires deeper understanding of how everything works under the hood plus you have to do everything by code. I personally use libgdx because I enjoy writing games for the JVM using Kotlin. Furthermore libgdx has a bit better performance on Android than Godot and the resulting apk is less bloated.

2.godot
3.gamemaker

Quality of the game is down to the quality of the developer. That's the clear takeaway, but it's a hard pill to swallow for many. Folks want to believe that if they choose the "right" engine, that will elevate their skills and guarantee quality, and by extension, success.
I'm a Unity 3d dev, I agree #3 looks like a poorly-tuned Cinemachine follow-cam, but #4 looks like it's using some help from the Asset Store. No prior exp with the other engines, so I'd just be guessing. But the skill on display is solid, esp at Fiverr prices - don't work so cheaply, folks!

Obvious answer to oblivious question? Of course it doesn't matter to the players.

I have no idea, really, I could throw some dice... :)
Your point is a valid one, it doesn't matter to the player at all. For the developer it is far more important to choose a game engine they're comfortable with, than looking at the capabilities of the engine. The only counter argument is that different engines have different ceilings, so if you're making that AA or AAA game that needs to do a certain something very very well, that may tie you into a specific engine.
Owh and the other important factor I think is community, both Unreal and Unity have a heads up on the competition that they have a HUGE community so it will be easier to find help if you're stuck, or to find tools made by others that you need to complete your game. But there too goes, you need to find the community you're comfortable being a part off and that may not be one of the bigger ones.
Game 4 has to be godot
Really did not appreciate lying about telling us in two weeks which games were by which devs.
