What authoring platforms do they support? Windows CryEngine, Unreal, Unity OSX Unreal, Unity 4/5 Linux Unity 4 only? I'd have thought Unity 5 would have been available on Linux, perhaps that is coming (or I missed it on the site).
Another option with Unity is the free version plus plugins. I'm using NGui, Playmaker, MasterAudio, and SimpleSQL with the free version of Unity. Playmaker is the brains and the other plugins are designed to work with Playmaker. This costs a bit of money, but the time savings are huge. Down the road, if I make a…
I'm more curious to see where this is going to put Unity in terms of used game engines. Unity is very easy to work with which is one of the biggest reasons to pick Unity for a project, but UE4 is supposedly incredibly easy to learn and use also. From the looks of the "Marketplace" tab on the UE4 downloader thing, there…
I'd rather pay Unity $75 a month than pay Epic $19 plus give them the potential to eat some of my profits that would already be getting devoured by Steam and/or iTunes. I don't have to pay Unity anymore when I'm done developing, but Epic could be getting checks from me for years.
Unity Pro also has a subscription. Sure you could use the free version but for most purposes (and I'm assuming for many of the cool Unity 5 features) you'd want to use the pro version and that is currently a $75/month subscription or $1500 on the spot, $1500 for iOS and Android each and $500 for team features (or…
when it rains, it pours... so many new offers, it will be hard to keep the overview, so thanks for this thread! I have started with unity one year ago, and I really like the engine. the only thing that really annoyed me was the shading model, and I am quite happy about the new standard shader (already tested it within…
I just watched This video on youtube. I'm a Unity user for about 3 years now and I have worked with both UDK and Cryengine sdk for a while now. What I found very interesting on the UE4 editor was they have change it to be like Unity editor ! I mean the window forms, asset browser, etc . I think that is very good. They have…
I never heard of anyone OWNING Unreal engine... you licensed it per title. As far as Unity, you own a LICENSE of Unity, not the engine... and get updates through that X.X cycle, then pay to upgrade if your choose. Unity --- I like Unity because I do not need so much help/ramp up to get something going. So many tools…
Interested to see how much the workflow has improved in UE4. Prior this news Unity was the absolute fastest on game iteration time hands down (UDK required you to shut down the program before compiling scripts.. whoever designed that shouldn't work on tools ever again). I hope UE4 gets some better world constructing tools,…
