What engine are you using?

[Arion]

Congrats on the announcement, the game looks super slick. Out of curiosity, what engine are you using to build the game?

[YinYin]

Unity!

What's wrong with Unity?

It's got a bad rap because it's easy enough to use that people have made a lot of asset-flip garbage in it, and flooded Steam with them. :(

Like...You know how RPGmaker has the "Baby's first unfinished/unbalanced Final Fantasy fangame" reputation despite being capable of making some really fun games? Unity's got a similar issue.

Honestly, it's silly. There's some seriously good stuff made in Unity, and the fact it's got a low barrier to entry means that smaller, more visionary studios can make some really good stuff in it without needing like a dozen C++ programmers like Unreal tends to.

On one hand there is the real issue of rare hardware setups not handling it well. (as is true for any engine)

And on the other there is a stigma from the free version forcing the Unity splash screen onto a lot of small, experimental and rough games.

If the Unity splash gives you nightmares, don't worry! Our games don't feature that.

Awesome. Unity will work fine for your game and the screenshots clearly show it's a beautiful game. Can't wait!

Nice looking game, the most beautiful game I know that was made in unity was Hollow Knight

Only issue I have with unity is 3d games in it undeniably run a lot worse than than they do in other engines. I really want this game though, so hopefully it ships in some decent form. Every unity game in 3d has either ran poorly for what it's doing aka 90% gpu usage for 100 frames where any other engine it would be like 45%, or frame times are poor unless in exclusive fullscreen, or anything other 60 just borks frame timings. Hopefully team reptile can make something decent out of it. Because this game is a dream come true conceptually.

Ikr, every person who I know that plays indie games have a low end PC majority of the time and only resort to those genres

You can get a beast of a PC for pretty cheap these days.

Ori, Cuphead and Cities Skylines are all made in Unity before anyone dismisses it :P

The list of popular games that use it is actually longer than I expected.

Thanks for the reply. I just started learning game development and I'm using Unity as well. Hopefully one day (not anytime soon) I can make games that look as vibrant and beautiful as yours. Best of luck and god speed.

I mean I have an 8700K and a 1080TI high end rigs still have tons of issues.

What games in particular?

[TimeSpaceWanderer]

I don't think a game with cell shaded graphics is going to be a problem under Unity, I've seen titles with this style run far better on Unity than other meme engines like UE4 for example
