Unreal 5 vs Unity

Not open for further replies.
I would love to just sit down and talk to an actual developer and understand the thought process, the model creation and what software outside the main developing tool they use. Like 3D modelling software. How long does each process take? The physical hardware stuff like that. Sadly I will never get the chance.
 
Yeah I decided to go full time after I was retrenched. There are actually a number of SA devs, for example these guys just launched their 4th game for which I saw a post just now on reddit:
If you're interested in making games, gamejams or just talking to game dev people then you should come join the Make Games South Africa Discord server (there are forums as well, but they're not as active usually).
I saw that post on Reddit as well - those guys have some ridiculous talent. I've checked out the MGSA forums before and as you say its been pretty dead there so I will make a point of hitting the Discord. Would be keen to check out any of your projects if you are ready to share. Truly hope it goes well for you.
 
oop with a heap and stack turns into a wired mess of classes made public to just break through the chain so that something else can use that pointer or this declared variable.

I feel sorry for the dude who has to dismantle messy c++ code. No one is fluent here.

My first Unreal attempt.

The bar is set so high, isn't it? I mean I look at the mess content creators play sometimes. It can be hardly called a game. It has a jump scare and it has a tiny bit of story behind it. The problem with tools making it more accessible to make games is everyone is doing it. It kills the market to the point that the player just ignores anything that isn't done by a large studio. Anyone that has played some of the games they stream knows the games are buggy. I will give myself a couple of months no more than two. If I can't create something that is worth playing I will exit the market.

Well if you weren't so rude to everyone who tries to help you, maybe we would have done that. ;)
 
@Romy_ bro have you actually, you know, tried even using either yet or you just opining the philosophical question of editors as a concept.

Tf is this thread lmao

Install UE5. Do the tutorial. If you don't know how to use Blender, get some premades. Try make a small game that you'd like to actually play. Then expand accordingly.

At this early stage it's all about making SOMETHING....ANYTHING you find interesting, so you can get familiar.

This.

Also just get into the basics. Udemy has some deep dive tutorials but you can create a basic game from just following some youtube stuff:

hi, I am sorry if I upset you in some way. Yes, I am currently using Unity but I saw what people are creating with the Unreal engine and it is spectacular. I started this thread to see who is using what and why. My current GPU is a 1660 Super and I doubt it will run properly. I saw they recommend a 3070 12Gb last time I checked. I do plan to download it later on. I don't have access to uncapped internet so I have to work out how much data I will need to buy first. So few things holding me back.

I have built a few games, but nothing special, I build a worm game that runs on Android and made a clone of Flappy Birds. Made a few other games and applications. The bigger projects I don't talk about. I want to see if I can earn from them first. But that is it basically.

Just to add and be fair to myself, build more applications than I do games. I have made a lot of algorithms the most successful one was for short trading. It really worked well and I intent to improve on it.

You should have seen the other thread. :rolleyes:

She got it deleted alongside all the other helpful advice.

One person even joined MyBB just to help her, and it was a very long post.

You are a bad person and not safe to be around. You will backstab anyone and step on anyone. If you have anything to offer at all, I wouldn't ask you for advice. You know what you did to me, you are a bad person. I do report you in hopes that they will remove your posts here. This is not a debate but about software, development tools and how each can be used and what makes the one better than the other. With the exception of your debate thread which is an actual debate by design, I do not engage with you at all.

You on the other hand have repeatedly derailed my conversations and turned well-meaning threads into disasters. I do not respect you as a person and will not tolerate you victimizing me from thread to thread like a stalker. Your behaviour is that of a stalker. Your intent is derailment. I am calling you out openly because the report I submitted isn't being considered. If I have to I will abandon this account because that is what a woman has to do when they pick up a stalker. We have to change everything. You found I am easy to upset, you know how to press my buttons to get me to react and you truly are just a stalker in every sense of the word.

please leave me alone. You have your debate thread which is a debate that many forum members have contributed towards. Not just me. But out of all of them, you single me out. Why? I will start setting up a new account. Wait a couple of months and start to post. If we are not protected here then there is no point in reporting you.

Why don't you just ignore his account? Then you don't have to see his posts and can get on with your life.

Additionally, try it with a 1660. It won't run perfectly, but I'm pretty sure it'll run. The 3070 didn't come in a 12GB variant (besides 1 model from Asus) so whoever told you that is as useful as 2 left socks.

Overall, I still think you should just download and give it a go. If data is a concern, head to a coffee shop and download using their wifi, won't cost you a thing and speeds are generally acceptable.

Thanks to you I never got to see any of it. Remember those large pictures you placed? How you trolled me repeatedly? No, I was not at fault I don't care how bad you want to make me look

I honestly don't know what I did to her. I gave advice relevant to her question but because she disagrees with me in the debate section she mocked me for it.

I promise you I have done everything I can to ignore this person but, he knows others see it and make it so that they don't respond. It makes it really difficult for me to get to information I actually do need. I am in a bad place I am trying to get out but I am being blocked all over this forum. As he said it got so bad the thread got deleted.

Well you're seeing his posts so you clearly haven't ignored his profile. Click his name, click Ignore. Maklik.

I will just send a F you letter to the admins get banned with this account wait a couple of months and try again. That way this individual gets their win and maybe I get information later on. I don't know how I am going to post it without them identifying me. That is going to be very hard. Because they now know I need info on the software I mentioned above. Essentially they officially made it impossible.

So you win Panda person. You took a swing at my actual life and got away with it.

No offense but this is ridiculous. Do you think this person has the ability, wields the power, to stop others from answering your questions? I don't even know who this person is.

Just live your life, people here will help you (this thread is evidence of that). But you need to stick to your topic too - your last few posts have been about this person instead of about your own topic.
