Shit Engine

>be released for 15 years>have literally 0 (zero) games with SOULWhat is it about the unity engine that curses every game developed on it turning it into a soulless boring piece of shit?

>>523632081what do you know about Soul you fuckin ginger

Generic systems like the ones used for character control, physics, animation, etc., lack any of the deep customization you'd find in custom engines, which ends up in a ton of games feeling the same. You often notice you're playing a Unity game, even if it's not advertised.Shit loading times.Companies who choose to use Unity for the debatable increase in productivity are also more often than not often chasing market trends, which is inherently soulless.When you apply a generic system, you often end up in a "good enough" stage which is playable, but actually looks like shit because little thought has been put into it. The biggest issue might be that developers think Unity can take over these essential creative processes.

>>523632081Because you don't play the mountain of indies games made by first-time passionate devs.

Playing a darksouls rip off on my android currently. It has a shit ton of soul and no im not memeing. The guy made a huge connected world minus shortcuts as far as i can tell. Has online pvp and co op too.

>>523632081I think Dungeons 2 and 3 is good and it is Unity game. But i would never use it myself. Except for mobile game.

CupheadOriMonument ValleyPillars of EternityFFIX portForgotton AnneThis fan game: gamejolt.com/games/ZeraMA/238357So I guess it depends on the dev

>>523635040Ori is a piece of shit game though.

>>523637704Not that guy, but those things don't really work to make your game too much more generic except for the Nav Mesh, but that's the developer's fault. A lot of people use the nav mesh for nothing but shitty zombie-type enemies. The character controller just gives a collider collide and slide physics and does some shitty ground detection. Almost nobody uses the ground detection though. I don't think a custom rigidbody solution will feel generic unless the body isn't kinematic or something and you're just using physics forces.

>>523639285Welcome to Holla Forums.

>>523639015There's the year-spanning issue with custom character colliders stemming from Unity's component approach running into tons of problems, resulting in things like github.com/IronWarrior/SuperCharacterControllerwhich also had its own problems, the end result being that your only option left to have a relatively OK character controller is buying one from the asset store. This is just an example of the various detrimental problems you're sure to encounter if you make anything but a very simplistic game.>>523639285It's typed in a very general way to bridge the player-developer gap. Players don't understand how to explain why the games they play often feel janky, and Unity evangelists don't understand their own engine and so think players are wrong. Also nod an argument.

>>523632081Embrace SOUL.

>>523633241unreal is pretty gross imo.It's painful to actually make do what you want. But if you're building a generic FPS, by all means.

Tarkov is the biggest Unity game.

>>523632081I dunno, it's good for starters. My friend told me i should learn C# and then try making simple games on Unity.

>>523641087>Or you know, programming one yourself you fucking moronFirst you have to understand the engine enough to realize its faults. Then you have to go through your available options, which are either shit or paid shit. Then you have to delve deeper into documentation, hoping some API option is available that you even CAN write your own and doesn't break anything else down the line. The developer for the character controller on the asset store had to argue with the Unity developers for months to have them include an option (Physics.ComputePenetration) to make your own. All are significant time investments with the only gain being knowledge of Unity rather than applicable general knowledge of physics and the like.

There haven't been games with soul for the past 15 years regardless of what engine they use.

>>523633971me and my bros are developing a game in unity because we're only 4 people and the game we want to make would be pretty big, so the increased productivity would be useful.

>>523647957Before you start being able to code basic shit without having to look up everything it'll take you a year or more if you have no coding experience and aren't familiar with how computers work

>>523648451Yeah, I wasn't complaining, it was a sincere thanks. I'm actaully very excited to learn something new.

Haha, you're a riot, OP.Build your own engine and show us your game.

>>523636442You can literally use unity's in built physics engine without changing a thing, just call the right methods in your scripts with a few magnitude variables and you're good to go. I doubt anyone using unity is writing their own physics engines, at that stage you may as well just write your own engine.

>>523649139Some more successful 2D games were made using Game Maker Studio. Hotline Miami, Forager and Undertale for example.

Most people who hate Unity have no idea what they are talking about. They just see the free or cheap games that that use it and think it's garbage. They are ignorant of the games that the devs paid the extra cost to get the annoying "made with unity" splash to go away.The key word of my post is "most" , so go away if you are some dev who has issue with it because you couldn't get it to do something you wanted.

Obscure MMO but its still a competently made game.>>523650275This dumbass discussion earlier in the thread about how "all unity games have similar movement" shows just how little these idiots know. I invite anyone in the thread to download unity and make a simple 3D capsule moving around a plane and tell me just how "built in" movement is in Unity>muh navmeshYou gotta be fucking kidding me, you don't even use that for character movement. Like I'm supposed to believe the people posting in this thread are gaming scholars, able to even notice the subtleties of movement in different games. Unity has its problems but none of them are the surface level shit mentioned in this thread.

>>523632081Shadow Tactics is pretty good desu

>>523658208what the actual fuck are you talking about

>>523649301You make the full game without music. If you managed to create something legit and presentable, then you commission someone to make some music for you. Music is important but it can easily be done last.

Little Witch Nobeta has the most soul of any game released this year though. Not even finished btw.

>>523658379I know, just I wanted to have the same impact as some games. I based around F&H ost thinking it was free music then the dev added it to his channel and I went back to thinking "every great 1man army is a composer first and dev second">>523657503A lot of concepts of music I study to death and it still elude me.

I was looking through a list of unity games, and apparently TIS-100 was done with Unity. I am a little curious as to why.

>>523659380I doubt you have the background knowledge to understand the answer.

>>523661412those sticks are small, dude

>>523659178>"every great 1man army is a composer first and dev second"that can't be right, i'm sure pixel and zun started to make music because of videogame developing

>>523645646>>every single game has insane texture pop inBetter texture pop ins than the whole game stalling for a moment when a texture loads.

>>523655084Its a problem with your slow drive, not the engine. The tradeoff here is you have way less load time between levels, at the expense of seeing pop in.

>>523661134Dofus/FFT (just the combat, aint so senile to try mmorpg after usual multiplayer and working with aegis/eathena), Labyrinth of Touhou/Etrian Odyssey, Library of Ruina, Rimworld/Oxygen Not Included, NoDelivery, Slay The Spire, Lobotomy Corp, etc.Most I like is the replay value and customization those games provide, though they are inherently system atop of systems and game design docs over design docs. They definitely sit on more complex side of things than the simple ones. By simple I usually mean stuff I said I attempted or some indie stuff like walking simulator horror games with some FPS and puzzle simulator elements.

I wish all you faggots pushing that stupid meme of soul/soulless a painful and slow death. Please, end yourselves
