Comment on Slay the Spire devs followed through on abandoning Unity
WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 5 months agoYes but at the same time Unreal doesn’t really compete with Unity at all when it comes to 2D games. Unreal is primarily meant for 3D games and maybe you could make a 2D one work in it but Unity has a lot more resources for 2D games. That’s why games like this switched to Godot instead of Unreal cause Unreal wasn’t really an option. I could be wrong but when Ive made some projects in Unreal it didn’t really seem to have any options for 2D games like Unity has.

It’s got all of the functionality you need but nothing is boilerplate for 2D. Godot has all the boilerplate for a complete novice to use after a few tutorials videos. Haven’t used Unity for maybe a decade so idk about them.

Unity’s modus operandi is to develop a feature halfway and then deprecate it and replace it with something that’s not yet released. Such a mess of an engine.

They also spend valuable resources hounding developers into paying them, citing made up sales estimates.

Sounds like Microsoft should buy them.
