What do people think of Unity Engine?

[mimeograph machine]

I would like to know what others think about this?

Wasn't unity partnering with a company known to make spy ware or was that another engine.

[fluxtorrent]

It's the 2nd most common engine. It has its virtues and failings.

I want to know what people THINK about the engine. And perhaps why.

I just found this. They partnered with ironsource who makes malware. Just saying be careful when using it.

seems to be a very good engine anyone can use

[fluxtorrent]

They already had redshell, which is worse than anything ironsource ever made. If you were worried about analytics and tracking you were ALREADY screwed by Unity AND Unreal. Both contain that stuff

Good to know. They just dumped a bunch of employees too.

welp, now we had to double check for unity games :/

I think it's great in the hands of talented devs. This game uses it and looks very promising:

Like a grill at McDonalds.

Could be used for something great, but 99% of the time just a catalyst for fast food.

I have been asking all the devs of games that are upcoming, that are on my wishlist, if they are using unity. I have also been looking into the ceo of unity, and this is the same guy who ran EA into the ground a decade ago.

Watch the stock charts on unity the last few months.

Im not sure this could affect games in Unity who have been released already (unless they update the engine to newer versions)

Upcoming ones could be a problem. I will wait a few months before trying new ones (I have quite few in my whislist)

[Glass Mother]

Can't say exactly why, but most of the time a "Made with Unity" makes me expect a low quality asset flip. Most of the time.

[Mr. Smiles]

My personal opinion of the unity engine is it is a solid development environment, however, I cannot overlook the questionable decisions of the company and licensing options.

I already switched development of my project to Godot. It does most of what unity does, without the moral baggage.

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

Unity is pretty great even across OS such as Linux, mobile devices, and more. The trade off is not advanced, or heavily graphic as Unreal for indepth out of the box, that unreal provides, but often most people do use plugins to cover a lot of things to making their custom game engine functions.

Every game engine has their pros, and cons, between unreal, unity, Godot, and etc... It also depends on what you be doing.

Unity is super common engine you find, just like unreal.

[ReBoot]

The problem with Unity is that it's not really stable. You can apply a minor update for the SDK and get warnings out of nowhere. And errors. But that's something game developers have to pay attention to. From a player's perspective, it's an engine all right. It's one among a couple common ones.
