Unity is at the centre of an indie development revolution. VG247′s Dave Cook speaks with CEO David Helgason about empowering indies, and the significance of Unity on Wii U.
Unity has shared a new tech demo that showcases what's possible in the latest version of the Unity 6 Engine, called Time Ghost.
You never see anything close to these tech demos in actual game releases. More fluff than anything.
How does it feel to not be in the sequel to your own franchise? Their virtue signal will cost them sales
I think Unity exposed themselves last year, and IMO any developer should just stay away from them completely.
Exactly my thoughts, they killed so much interest in their engine since doing that. Godot looks like it's rising to take it's place as the indie darling game engine.
In its current pace, Godot would need decades to reach Unity's current state. Almost no studios use it. For hobbyists, it's a valid option, though.
Gotta be real about it: Unity was and will continue as the market leader for small studios. There's no competition in this sense.
The thing is: there's nothing even remotely as good as Unity for small studios game development, even if you consider the company's disgraced trust.
So, sure, it's your opinion, but most professionals have not and will not leave Unity.
And Godot is a hobby project in comparison, not even an option.
The thing is: this is the kind of comment Unity was getting when it was up and coming.
I remember when I started learning Unity it was looked at with disregard, this is where Godot is now, remember this, in a few years, Godot will get there.

I hope you realize how ridiculous your comments sounds when you suggest "Waiting for Godot" is an option.
It made me chuckle for a good 20 seconds.

Haha I’m not suggesting to wait for it. I’m saying with all the updates (each one better than the previous one) Godot will get where it needs to, to be considered more than just a hobby engine.
In fact it can already do a lot, it’s all about how you approach the problem.
PlayCanvas, Babylon, Defold, Cocos Creator etc.
This generic statement of "it's not as great as Unity YET" could be applied to any other engine (no offense to these mentioned great engines).
The fact is: it is a hobby engine, almost no studio is using it. As much as I'd like to see Unity fall, it's not happening at all. There's simply no competitor.
Unity has announced that it's cancelling the controversial runtime fee, and going back to a seat-based subscription model for game developers.
I guess it bite them in the ass. Pretty sure it's still too late and those who were burned by it, will not come back.
Hmm.
They may just remain a company after all. They lost a lot of good faith with all this, however.
Unity has announced the appointment of its new CEO, and it's another former EA exec in the form of ex-Zynga COO Matthew Bromberg.
I totally love this Unity engine. Seen it being used in so many titles on a range of different platforms (mostly mobile) & every single one I've played is really smooth & well developed.
Looking forward to further graphical improvements & optimizations made to the engine itself as well as more new games using it in the very near future :) <3
