🧵 Godot 4 vs ue5
Anonymous at Mon, 1 May 2023 15:43:14 UTC No. 944706
What would you recommend for a rts toy example?
Godot seems the way to go for everything 2D, but breaks making anything look good in 3D.
Unreal on the other hand is designed for fps and what I read so far has catastrophic orthographic rendering.
Haven't used either.
What does anon suggest and why?

Quality post!
Python is bliss.
Have you experience with it? Libraries slim or vast? It's a demo? Meaning it'll take 6y or so for beta?

Did I get that correct? It's the successor if blender game engine?

It's Blender 2.79 with various patches to the original Blender game engine. It's fully usable.

Awesome. Would you recommend it for professional use? I assume blender community supports it? I have experience with neither, but I'm certain that python is usually the way to go.

Yes. When UPBGE made the mistake of moving to Blender 2.8+, they stayed with 2.79. It's by far the best 3D game engine for hobbyists at this time.

The way I see it you need to code the game in python and then import it to range with blender made assets, correct?

Yeah, first glance it's excellent. However I can't find 'good graphics' example online, however I do know that blender is capable of doing great things in 2D. 3D as well?

UPBGE is Blender 3.x with the game engine backported from 2.79
Range is Blender 2.79 with bugfixes
It's you choice. Just avoid Godot because there are more bugs than actual code in there.

Upbge interchangeable with range?
Assuming he put only a couple of hours in, looks solid.

Got it, thx.

Yes. UPBGE started as fork of Blender 2.79, then when UPBGE moved to Blender 3.x as a base, Range was forked to avoid Eevee.
Another option is to just use vanilla Blender 2.79 That's what I do. Range is the same thing but a bit modernized.

Blender included a game engine since the beginning but it was dropped after version 2.79

What are downsides to upbge and range?
How many members does discord have?
They subreddit is ghost town. :/

There isn't much discussion or hype to be had on social media about it because it's a mature product.

Is it a valid approach to make mini mvps in different engines and test performance aso?

Found that already. Relatively old. Scoured stackezcgange aso and most say either post blender engine uant suitable for making an actual game. Will make mvps in both engines, then reevaluate.
