I hate the game industry's "look" these days.

❤❤❤

Love the new landscape

Love the intro!

Hmm you should definitely get a One Piece light for your shelf

Nice job!

Proud to see how far you've come since this video!

Whats funny is you listed its generous open world toolkit as a reason for switching. Those tools are actually some of the oldest tools in the UE5 source, most existing since UE4 and are currently getting completely reworked hopefully for 5.4 or a later release. Some of the previews have been insane and it makes sense the new Witcher game will be on UE5 and probably the next Zelda game after the nintendo/Unreal partnership. Palworld is a good example of a recent indie open world game doing well with UE5. I think its no question that if you are making an open world game that Unreal is the superior choice.

And what about engine bugs and documentation? Is it worse or better? I never tried anything else than Unreal Engine, but I still fighting bugs and lack of documentation 😞.

I swapped from Unity to Unreal about a year ago, and it was a great decision. Oddly enough, one of the things that was hardest for me to learn was that Unreal does so much for you. So much common game architecture is just handled for you. From game managers to player ability systems, unreal usually has something just out of the box to get you started. It definitely has its own pain points though, of course, but overall I'm enjoying the day to day in Unreal a lot more than I did in Unity, and it sounds like you probably will too. Excited to see more updates!

why tf do you have 534 subs you need WAYYYYY more than that. Underrated ASF

var boolean: Sub please? : true

Switching your entire engine because of meme effects is pretty hilarious

If you like Unreal, you should check out Stride game engine. The UI is comparable and no royalties whatsoever.

9:45 - balance and composure - disagrees with you :P

thank you so much for helping me understand Blueprints and really to manage it well

This doesn't seem like a very well-thought review of the engines to be honest. - Performance: Unreal is not automatically more performant and in my experience Unreal (especially 5) has introduced massive overhead preventing even simple games from running on low end machines (I've see games literally taking a PS1 art style run like absolute garbage, then there's ultrakill which can strike hundreds of FPS on low-end computers). Especially with version 5 and all of its significant features. To me it doesn't sound like Unity was slower (and IME, it's far from slow), it just sounds like you didn't know how to optimize it. The significant overhead lies directly within the engine itself. One could say that since Unreal can compile to native code in C++ (yet so can Unity now with HPC#, Burst, etc.), it could be faster. But in my experience, Mono has never actually caused slowdowns aside from heavy data processing (which should've been done in native anyway as a dynamic library). - Scalability: Absolutely nothing says Unity cannot scale to a full-fledged open world game (assuming a single person could develop a game at such a scope in a reasonable amount of time). Again, this just sounds like a lack of knowledge on how to use the engine. Also I highly doubt NANITE would really improve the performance of your game, not only is the overhead of the entire system fairly high (things like the mesh cluster generation, LoDs on the fly, etc.), but like the previous point it would likely not perform as well on low-end devices. This is of course, assuming you could develop extremely detailed assets in an industrialized manner to saturate the variety needed for a game. NANITE is best suited for said high-detail assets in large amounts. To me, these subtopics you've mentioned sound like you just didn't like using Unity for your project. Unreal might have a wider toolset but I don't see much of it being useful for indie developers.

valid points 👍

I moved from Godot to UE5 for 3D because Godot is such a trash 3D engine... UE5 is godsend with all its tooling. It has its pain points, as does any engine... but for an indie, you are farrrr less likely to run into them at your scale of game. Plus, UE5.3 go BRRRRRRRRT... and gets better every update.

Better performance??!! Nanite needs at least something like GeForce RTX 2080. for this reason, there is no alternative to lods unless you are targeting like below 5% of the market gamers or your doing it for fun nanite is not an advantage in your case :) Lumen similar requirements too

So his first reason was performance cause UE5 gives him more FPS than Unity. I should have make all my mobile games on UE5 😂😂

You will learn that UE is actually fucking painful the hard way

Welcome to this brighter, better side! 😄 One minor tip: I've noticed that you're storing data like WeaponXP and WeaponLevel directly on the component, but if these variables are supposed to be stored in a save file, I suggest you to take a look into a SaveGame class, where everything that has to be saved can be stored conveniently. You can then make a blueprint library function to easily access the SaveGame object from inside any blueprint.

UE has always been my first pick for engines, it has so much capability and will help a lot with ur game

Niiiiiiice dude! I figured you’d probably changed engines, and it looks super worth it in every way!

yooooo dude welcome to UE5! Lots of progress, everything looks great so far!

I love what you've done so far for this level, the art style is very striking! I would have liked to hear a bit more about how you did the grass, but still a great devlog :)

😌 P r o m o s m

Will it be on steam and will it be free

I love the song and the ending pose 😂

woah this is super cool! just a suggestion but it would be cool if the trees swayed a bit!

The best rock is Lee

keep it up man, would love to see more been getting into game dev myself

chevere

I actually like the cartoony outlines they have been quiet appealing to me

I think the giant rock barrier needs to be different the texture seems way too stretched

U got my sub bro :) keep working hard will support ur work and videos in the future

Underrated shit right here, hopefully the algorithm fsvors u sometime newr the future,i do absolutely love ur work right now

Very Cool

Glad you're back Kumo! This new area is looking amazing :) Keep up the great work!

Really cool project. Have you considered adding a bit more motion to the leaves and grass? It's very subtle at the moment, but a proper sense of wind could really make the environment feel even more alive

another great video kumo, a lot of progress, looks great!

Yeeeeeeeessssss! So excited to see your progress!

The giant wall around the area looks a little strange, but otherwise I love what you did with the environment.

Really cool looking environment! good luck on your quest :)

HI!!! Friendly question, why did you choose Unity and not Unreal Engine? I would like to debate that actually ahah My key points: Unreal has better render engine, better physics, better world build tools, better animation tools and UE5 has amazing input system.

awesome vid, dude! love the colors in this environment!

Awesome vid man! Love the environment, add a potato (I hate them) just get a uv sphere and make it long paint it brown that’d be funny I think

Cool, I will enjoy the making of the game!

I have yet to watch the other 2 episodes. but I have to say that what is worryng me is not a possible lack of content in this game, but the exact opposite. I'm afraid you may overscope the game by planning too much content. Carefull about the overscoping demon
