Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game)
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoDo you still have to use Objective C? They’ve been trying to get everyone to use Swift for nearly a decade now and Swift is a MUCH nicer language, but I have no idea about game dev in particular, since I’ve only done crappy little apps.

Eh, did some research and it turns out you have no need for Objective C using any of the mainstream game engines (Unreal, Unity, Godot) and in general you only need it when working with old frameworks. I’d wager that pretty much anyone who started iOS dev in the last 5 years hasn’t even touched objective C except when working on legacy apps.
