haha, the debate continues. Unity or Unreal? I don't care, pick one, and suffer with it. Making a game is not easy no matter what you put it together with.
Exactly, the smallest amount of people ever release a game on Steam. So it's a great success if you have released one. Secondly, no user ever cares about the engine. It's all about the finished product.
yes, me neither, until i finished my research. i guess the indie developer community is growing rapidly and unity does have a friendly onboarding - as per my knowledge.
Unity dominates mobile and indie gaming market. Unreal is not as optimized as unity for mobile devices, also it lacks a lot of mobile sdks. Most of the 2d games you see are also made with unity due to better 2d support. Unreal aims for the top 3d quality which is required for bigger console/pc projects. Overall, unity has wider industry support.
If you are developing a casual game and need to publish it to a mobile device, UE packaging feels very difficult. Therefore, people around me only think that UE is only suitable for developing PC games.
5.5 UNREAL? It's barely in it's development stage. 5.4 is still too pricey for the average developer, and still too unstable. 5.3 is the last stable build of the engine and still suffers with stutter , and compatibility issues, using earlier versions of it's asset packs. (works with 4.27), but does work well in 5.3, or 5.4..... where the program may not work at all. NO one knows about 5.5. Because, it's not even on the market yet. So, I am not sure how you comparing "Unity 6" , to a product that is yet to be released. (5.5) . Stay tuned.
one detail missing from unreal price, if your quarter is less than 10k you also pay nothing, like if in 4 months you only get 9.999,99$, you don't need to pay for that quarter(they payment are made quarter), now if you received 10k or more then you have to pay 5% or now 2.5 if you also sell your game in epic market aswell on day one of the game release in all markets not just epic market.
Im new to game making. And by watching different vid on yt and search on Google i understood unity is better for 2d games. But UE has blueprint which is exciting for me as i assume it feels more friendly than coding c# in unity
@itsyaboymuffinman unity does have Bolt, a new Visual coding tool. But you can make this in unreal aswell. Visual scripting is not that bad in unreal either.
@@RajeevPragTutorials No. The 3.5% applies to all platforms as long as you release your game on Epic at the same time. For example, you get the discount if you release at both Steam and Epic simultaneously.
Unreal just makes sense right now, Unity 6 is trying to be more like Unreal 5, so why not just use Unreal Engine 5.4 that's been optimized and meticulously engineered for years now?
because working with c++ even if you know what you are doing sucks in unreal. Testing takes a tremendous time due to recompiling and the error prone systems where hot reloading especially can break your binaries so you have to recompile from scratch also the systems are not working hand in hand (enhanced input and common ui together naha watch out having any kind of common ui element visible will eat your controller button south input for enhanced input without a tremendous amount of deep dive to force the button south to be not eaten by common ui since common ui is converting the button south to a simulated left click on the curren focused common ui element nit taking into consideration that you want to have rebindable input actions) just 1 example of many. I see unreal being powerful but from time to time it more feels like publishers forcing developers to use unreal because of the graphical capabilities while performance and content quality wise better products could have been created with other engines in less time just for the sake of minor graphical quality loss. There are more than often just no real advanced unity users due to the enforcement of using unreal as soon as you get better with unity. Thats the whole reason why Unity has less double or triple a productions. From the graphics standpoint unity is just per default performance while unreal is per default quality. There are currently no huge differences in visual quality between the engines. Unreal is better in visuals but not by much.
Unreal Engine is great but it feel so generic when creating stuff. also unity has a massive community even being hit by the last CEO its still larger. Yes, unity is trying to be like unreal but so what? just means the engine will get better while keeping the large support. I personally love unreal engines feel when I use it but its a pain a lot of the times too.
Availability of competition is the only way the users like us get to win with ever-improvojg engines. Let me know of thing that is giving you trouble, if I can I'll make a guide for you.
Wouldn't say Unity is only for Mid Range 3D titles. You can make AAA in Games in it. Yes, performance wise Unreal would be much better, but you can also make AAA graphic wise titles in Unity.
Actually, Unity HDRP is more performant compared to Unreal's lumen. It's just a choice, Unreal has better lighting/reflection quality but it comes with a performance cost. Big companies/teams generally don't prefer Unity, but it doesn't mean you can't make AA/AAA game with Unity. Cities skylines is a good example. In terms of realistic graphics, the most important thing is to have good 3d assets with a lot of details and texture channels. It's what matters most for the both engines.
@@axux4509 ah ok, so Unity can be also very performant! But I think you need to put more work in Assets and work with LOD instead of Lumen where you only need one LOD. But yeah, I also said - like you - that Unity is also capable of AAA games.
To me it’s the person preference and in terms of tools and visuals fidelity both engines offers similar results. Yes, with Unreal you achieve faster good graphics because they made it easier whereas Unity need some adjustments, 2D or 3D. Besides, you Unreal user 😏, so somehow back of your mind Unreal is better.
@ilet2420 agreed. It is a personal preference. I have been using unreal for a long time now, so it makes sense. Unity's entry cost for some tiers prevent people from ever experiencing the tool at its highest potential.
@@RajeevPragTutorials now I'm disagree with you, when you said about entry cost, unreal is waay more expensive than unity, just compare the basic thing, let's say I'm just graduated from school, and start learning game dev, which is more expensive the get, machine for running the ue5, or machine to running unity 6, event rtx 3060 is still to heavy for just load the engine, while for unity 6 is way more faster, then about the cost for the first time you already make money, is already irrelevant... For unity they will start cost you when hit 200k, this already so generous,
@hop3studio511 i understand your perspective. I thought the same aswell, however, I made my school project in unreal engine while using a GTX 960. I made a simple game and it ran beautifully. Although the 200k threshhold in unity is very generous, you are not really experiencing everything Unity has to offer. While, Unreal gives you everything without any upfront costs and royalty only applies to the money you make beyond the 1M mark. If you can generate a small cash flow with a simple game in unreal to fund your computer, the engine will be very rewarding.
@@RajeevPragTutorials i think you made typo comment, gtx 960 and ran beautifully? What unreal engine are you using? Long time ago when still ue4. 2, my machine use GTX 1650,and my computer crying
@hop3studio511 lol. Yes, GTX 960, was such a poor student, couldn't afford anything else. It was unreal engine 4. Need to check files to see which version it was. I made a simple running game like temple run. Unreal now has more optimization options to run smoothly on older machines. I have done some project with UE4.2using my RYX 2060 and it had some trouble, but with 5.4, I was able to achieve some good results.
@ivan_e1775 i am choosing random commentors and asking them if they would like for me create a tutorial on something specific. Do you have anything that you would like for me to create a tutorial on?
As someone who started in Unity, I can say that Unity is NOT as beginner-friendly as they advertise or as you describe. Unreal only has a stigma for not being beginner-friendly, but it isn't true. Unreal is actually far more beginner-friendly than Unity. If you start in Unreal I can guarantee that you will find it hard to switch to Unity. It may take a while to learn but you can get a lot done fast in Unreal than you would in Unity
@Hoptronics They removed the Plus plan and combined it with the free personal plan, increasing the cap to $200k. The pro and enterprise plan still has seat fees.
@@Hoptronics I think you are refering to the fee per install yes and the person responsible for this fee was removed from unity nearly instantly. The new head of unity is swapping the direction of unity in a huge (better) way in my opinion. (no wonder when you swap from a former EA to a former RedHat Lead) Even though unity took a big hit by this fee i love the current changes and the new leads direction.
@SayedSafwan it's because if using their engine means you can be robbed of all your money later then you shouldn't use it for your own financial safety. The engine itself can be good. But if you can't make a profit off your hard work it doesn't matter anymore. That's actually the best argument against learning unity. They've done it before and they set it up to be able to do it again.
@@SayedSafwan I would argue that there is nothing outside of user friendliness that Unity does better than Unreal. Unity's easier to be sure, but learning checkers is easier than learning chess. I regard the 'accessibility' side as neither good nor bad, and that just leaves me with ways that Unreal outperforms. Are In total my argument would be: Unity does everything worse (including monetization), so relative to Unreal it's just a deficient engine. Please let me know if I'm awry.

What I am missing in a lot of Unreal vs Unity: C++ vs C#. C# is way more easy if you have never coded in your life before.

Had no idea unity held more market share than unreal
yes, me neither, until i finished my research. i guess the indie developer community is growing rapidly and unity does have a friendly onboarding - as per my knowledge.
it's like 48 % Unity and 13 % Unreal
