Unity just went to f tier
Seriously... I'm on the first day of migrating my game that took 3 years to make from Unity to Godot...
The y axis fucking points downwards and "Rotated" rotates counterclockwise... 💀
good unity is garbage good luck on your game@@triplezgames3882
Why?
@@nuggetschannelczBro live under a rock💀
@@user-fs6wp6ol2z bro its only been less than a week he's just not chronically online
Build my own I must
Do or do not there is no try.
I tried with Visual Studio, .NET and even set up a framework. For starters, It wasnt worth it. Might try again in future when more knowledged or funded.
Rooting for you, Yoda!🐸
7 months later: "After hitting the griddy too much, i came to a conclusion that when i'll make my own game engine, I'll get zero bitches. "
@@nuggetschannelcz sick, dont need bitches at 14 tho
This needs an update to throw Unity down to F tier
Update coming soon 👀
Why? Did Unity do something recently?
@@leepicbaconman1553 yes, they implemented a scammy charging system that will charge devs per instalation of any game they made, regardless of how it was obtained (so free xbox pass games are charged) and if you uninstall and reinstall the game, they're charged again;
Nit to mention that they'll most likely be charged for pirated installations too
@@leepicbaconman1553they screwed everyone over
yes they made it so if your game is popular (like 100 players or something) then for EVERY DOWNLOAD you have to pay a fine and some other major changes@@leepicbaconman1553
FUCK IT WE USING SOURCE🔥🔥🔥🔥
All my homies code in assembly >:(
Nah we doing Binary
Remove Unity from that list.
😂
I was searching for these comments 😂
@@avenger8060same lmao
Reason?
@@nuggetschannelcz try to scam dev by take money from every install
Coming from experience, and a very very high amount of regret, use one that doesn't require a login or authentication, and doesn't lock you into the Microsoft ecosystem (Visual Studio). In other words, use one that's small, compatible with Linux, and unpopular opinion here...don't make a fully 3D game. This way, the equipment you need costs less (won't require an insano GPU), so you can focus more on having a clean setup and organization. Also, make a game that doesn't take more than 1 year to make, so if like me you're into making narrative fiction, make a 2D visual novel or a 2D tile based RPG. If you don't like tiles, use backgrounds, pre-rendered 3d cg backgrounds, just unless you're AA or have a lot of funding, don't touch 3D. it's way more than just an extra 'D'.
If you require a login to access your own project files, such as with Unity and Unreal engine, think about that for a moment. If you put 5 years into your dream project, how would it feel to have that work potentially at the hands of those giant corporations that really don't care about you or your work. What if Microsoft starts implementing a social credit score and a digital id and decides that you're racist or a biggot? This may not seem possible now, but you're gonna want to have access to all of your files 10, maybe even 20 years down the line. This is your work, you might anticipate wanting to preserve it.
So in this way, right now, I believe that Godot is the best engine available. I hope that doesn't change, but being open source, no need to use Windows, and the fact that Microsoft now has middleware to port to the Xbox, as well as the ability to port to other consoles being open-source (wouldn't recommend it though, and everyone has Steam anyway at this point), it's just the best one that exists.
I would highly recommend against using Unity3D due to it's cacheing system, and highly recommend against using Unreal due to it being like 40GB at it's minimum to download and being incredibly resource intensive.
If you want a job in the industry in the future, maybe use them then for the learning experience, but if you want to make games in an elegant manner, at this point use Godot. There are plenty of other engines out there though as well, just again, make sure you don't lock yourself into authentication madness to access the physical data that should exist in your own room (not the cloud) that you should have complete ownership of with no logins.
@@astrahcat1212you're totally correct. I always worry when I use "big companies" tools because they're greedy and you're at their mercy
man, developers dont like 3D because most people who start developing games use 3D and think they will make the new Call of DUty. Actually 3D can be as easy as 2D, cost the same and be as light when running. You just need to decrease the scope of the project and find a style other than hyper realistic graphics
Unity is now in position F
yes bro. i started learning unity few weeks ago and recently finished my first game but after seeing licensing policy guess I'll just switch to godot or unreal
@@yabaiotaku hows cryengine
@@StrawdexGuyfor me, due to UE's version 5.3 update, I choose this engine for my 3D project (and Godot for 2D). It's up to you which game engine specializes for you
I can’t be the only one noticing if you shake the screen around unreal engine jiggles
🤯🤯🤯
Oh shi that’s true!!
Must be a bug
How tf did u find that out
Optical illusion due to colour gradient
L take
S: Godot, Gamemaker
A. Unreal engine
B. Construct
C. RPG Maker
D. Other
F. Unity
Unreal Engine is S for 3D but bad for 2D so I use Unreal and Godot
@@mevy579 Unreal Engine 5 takes up +100 GB of space, and C++ is a rather complex programming language, so UE5 is not S.
Thats the true list
uhh dude most of the new AAA games are made on unreal, and there are quite alot of good games made on unreal too... @@poleve5409
@@poleve5409 check out the Persona 3 remake
Y’all why you do RPG Maker like that, it’s made some damn good games, albeit limited for training or small games it can be pretty damn good (unless your a madlad and decide to pull an Omori or TCOA&L)
rpg maker mv aint bad chill dawg its limited BUT ITS SO GOOD. AND ITS SO EASY FOR BEGINNERS, MY MOST RECOMMENDED ENGINE FOR BEGINNERS
It's also not the most limited* or limited for most people. But if you really wanna say stuff and barely use the engine yourself- god, just god.
@@TheRealFame barely?????? I got 3k hours on it....
@@zahiex1253 jeez... I probably do too just from CFA alone..
@@zahiex1253but it isn’t on iPad
Not the most powerful engine but it is definitely easy for beginners
There's no good choice, but there's a bad one: Unity
As of today, it's not the difficulty anymore, you can see how much shit Unity is in now. Unity should be at the bottom of your list.
I honestly agree with you
It shouldn't even be on the list .
Scratch: Bow down me human
lul but i still down know shit in them bec i suck lul
Scratch is definitely S tier
True
As a scratcher transporting to Gamemaker or Godot, haven't made up my mind yet, but I can tell you, that you are SO wrong...Scrtach sucks LOL! It's amazing, pretty good community, but def not S tier, maybe B or C.
@@PsychoSocialLogicalTester7 ever heard of sarcasm?
Gdevelop: Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to... ME! the best beginner engine!
FAX
I use Construct 3. I got it all figured out 90% ..feels so good to learn how to make video games now
So guys what would you recommend more Construct 3 or GDevelop? I used Construct 3 a lot last year but since it costs 24 bucks per month or 120 per year I thought to switch maybe to GDevelop. What do you think?
@@MrDitanoGDevelop. I can show u some things I’m making/made using it if you want. And also look up “bullet bunny” it’s a game made in gdevelop
@@MrDitano gdevelop is free and has less limitations i think
GameMaker 2 is great for beginners! It was my first game engine!
Yes it was my first engine and go-to for 2d (although I did completely forget how to use it in favor of unreal)
If it was iPad frendliy
@@In_and_ours I don't see why it should be on iPad tbh
@@Wolfie-Mune yeah bet it’s trash
@Jaceypoop Not really! It's a pretty good engine actually, now saying it's the best out there. And my favorite game engine!
remove unity it's bad
I’ve tried 3 already, lua, Gml, and now I’m learning visual coding
I use Command Prompt and notepad. Get on my level
I use Basic, on the Sinclair Spectrum 48k get on my level
I think Fusion 2.5 is great for 2d
I love that construct is an A tier. I used it for a project in AP Human Geography my freshman year of highschool. Blew the teacher away (she thought it was something really quite difficult) so I got double the grade I should have according to the rubric.
Am I the only one using monogame in 2023?
The best thing is as he said, never give up
Scratch: i always get a free ticket to above S tier
1 of the 3 in S tier shouldn't be their.
The best game engine is the one you stick with and learn to use the best, in my opinion.
I’ve heard about some shady practices at Godot’s development, idk about S tier anymore
Unity doesn’t work cuz it has a poppup of what to open the script I’m and doesn’t work does anyone know how to fix so I can use it?
Did you install a coding IDE?
you need visual studio
@@AsianRIceAddict Ik. I got that now but I couldn’t find this video again to say that I found it.
That’s is - until u replied and it notified me.
For real, solid advice. Hone in on what idea you wanna execute, then learn all the fundamentals of the engine, then plug in what you know to your idea. Google the rest lol
You forgot scratch in s tier
If you have the patience and the passion, starting with the high level ones is fine.
Bro isn't even a human himself
? I'm human. I just woke up when I recorded this lol
GameMaker 2 is great for beginners, you should definitely start on that
Unreal is hidin in the shadows here xd
rise and shine mr freeman, rise and shine.
I think Game Maker made a brilliant move just now making it free for non profit use. Think I'll move from Construct 3 now.
I want to see ID Tech in the list and also an option for my game engine
Unity then swite to unreal wait did this kid put godot at s yooo helllllll nah
There are god awful games made in the best game engines and there are insanely good games made in terrible game engines, ultimately it all depends on the developer
Yes
i love godot
I think game maker studio 2 is tier A, becose for 2D games is so good, but, doesnt have 3D game
The perfect game engine for beginners is definitely Gdevelop in my opinion. I'm saying this because I've used it with no experience in coding yet I made a full platformer game in 7 days. Please read this comment for anyone that wants to start making games :)
With tutorials?
Nvm
It’s complicated 😢
@@In_and_oursYeah i struggle too to FUCKING make a Instance and i dont even know how to make a 2d game when make instance is not easy like GMS2 or Unity
Probably construct the easiest for non programmers and java script easy to get into
But I’m most familiar with unity, Godot, unreal and game maker
Aint no way Blud didn’t put source in s tier
Html 5 and PowerPoint are God-tier
Copper cube in my opinion is definitely s tier
Game Maker should be on S tier, in there there were made absolute jewels such as Pizza Tower...
When i Finish my game I'm going to try another game engines
Im using Turbowarp engine... it suits my needs... and is more close to axual programming on traditional programming mechanics then node programming
Bro c++
Roblox studio left the chat
roblox lua is actually quite easy
@desirfamily3589scratch is by far the worst tbh
@@RRRRRRRRR-9 scratch is better suited for learning, still people have made incredible projects with it
I tried Roblox studio but it just feels limited in a way that is a bit restrictive to certain types of games. Some types of games are incredibly easy to make some are practically impossible. Super easy multiplayer tho.
@@Cipxvr its a unique game engine for sure
thx
Scratch: am I a joke to you?
GDevelop: What about me? 🥺
The amount of little kids in this comment section is ASTOUNISHING
Bro forgot scratch... The giga Chad
Bro, there is two scratch and scratch JR
Game maker 8.0: 🗿
Game maker 8.0: S Tier
Where is GDevelop 5 ?!
source needs to be in the s tier
scratch: wha-
Take out the unity from the S tier.
Gameguru max entered the chat🗿
chill guys the terms have been revised. It only applies to Unity 2014 LTS and after. But lost trust is lost. Whatever it maybe, Unity is still one of the greatest for beginners.
Ngl game maker 2 is the only game engine that is easy for beginners and good at the same time
Great answer
construct 3 is nice
As humans, we find distractions. For example I'm very distracted by the presence of Fox Engine. How are you supposed to make your game in that?
Good advice 👍
To be honest I would say godot is better for getting people to stay since unity be charging 20 cents per download like heck no that would put of most begginers
nice short
I didn’t know that the fox engine was available?
What about the good old source engine?
I prefere the code of godot, the graphics of unreal and layout of unity. That would be a perfect game engine.
Execution on what, my struggle is thinking of a concept to create. Im terrible at creativity but love buidling and problem solving
I don't know about the last two of A tier😅
People cry about Unity like they make 200k a year, LOL
Honestly... I'll just use the one that uses a lot of resources for cheap
I gotchu bro
you forgot CopperCube 6 and GDevelop
Why is torque so low down? Just because of its archaic tools and interface?
What about scratch?
Unity and game maker studio 2 and godot is for undertale fangames
Definetly Unreal For best graphics, like we already have Ai that do script for our games
I'll just use game maker, seems simple enough, ones your finnish scripting and making sprites and everything, it'll end up like mario maker, now that i think about it, mario maker is just a limited engine made by nintendo
i use roblox studio, and i would probably say that it goes into b or c tier. its sorta easy to use (only once you learn it) and lua is pretty stupid. it does allow you to make great games though (the opposite of 99% of roblox games)
Why not game maker in s tier?
Roblox be like: Easy to learn, but hard to earn.
Where should be defold?
Is that torque in d tier?
What about Source 1&2 engines?
copper cube
Unity have to be F tier how shady they are
where is genie engine? is the very best
Which Engine is better Construct 3 or GDevelop?
scratch left the chat
I will build my game engine okay 👍
Dumbass your losing your point of making a game
Unreal I find to be the best
Scratch left the list
