Unity

“Godot, Unity, Stride, Flax and even jank niche engines like NeoAxis generally have pretty good C# integration!”

“the support and community around Godot, Unity and Unreal still make them a no-brainer”

“Engines like Unity or Godot are also well suited for 2D games and don't have the problem you have described.”

“it seems that it is hard to imagine such thing when new game developers only know and are using Unity nowadays”

“Unity is a bit better when it comes to performance foot-guns and messiness (and in some ways much worse).”

“Unity preferred to go down the route of HPC#, Burst compiler and IL2CPP, and is still maybe one to two years to fully migrate to modern .NET.”

“The biggest issue with unity is that the editor (even when headless) is designed to take an exclusive lock over the physical project directory.”

“Trying to debug prompt chains, context, and state inside Godot, Unreal, or Unity editor loops directly is painful.”

“it's probably a lot cheaper to configure Unreal or Unity into a unique 'grain' than it is to develop your own engine”

“They mostly inherited their current spot in the market from mistakes and commercial pressures of the top two engines (cough Unity per-install fees)”

“if you want to make a good game with lots of features, you need to use a real game engine like Unity”

“they could not do it if Unity engine (or similar) is not around because it will be prohibitively expensive to develop”

“Unity is not that difficult if you clearly understand the Template Method pattern.”

“Unity and Unreal do anything most games will ever need and have massive ecosystems.”

“Even in Unity 4, it was like "You can write scripts in C#, or you can also write them in Unityscript or Boo, I suppose..."”

“Unity is closed source which leaves the bot with no reliable documentation or way to check what the game apis are doing”

“Didn't feel like haggling with Unity's sales reps, especially since the government hasn't been the greatest client of late.”

“it can build for basically every common platform and (most of the time) not need any special considerations for that makes it ideal for us”

“Unity's coverage is so consistent that I've been debating using it for non gaming applications.”

“I haven't had much success using LLM's in Unity as there is a lot of work that goes into the editor and cannot be done via code”

“The decision to use C# is partly responsible for the bad reputation of Unity games as it causes a lot of stutters”

“Unity is a commercial product that employed C# because they could sell it easily, not because it's the best language for game dev.”

“Unity is just too damn EASY for spinning up a prototype and gluing other modules onto it.”

“Unity works fine for example. I used it for a bit over a year on a project we did for multiple platforms”

“the one thing game engines like unity or unreal get right IMO is having a pretty GUI for doing basic things”

“Unity, the other big ad- and IAP-peddling game engine company, has pretty good Linux support.”

“I think Unity was also great as well, at least in the beginning (the first decade of existence), but it's chief issue is that Unity's 'dialect' of C# was very different”

“I'd say Unity's inspector window is one of the good parts of Unity because it not just a property window.”

“Unity somehow manages to break the API of their own features so bad every year or so that their own tutorials don't work.”

“The memory profiler used to have a helpful fragmentation view for that, but Unity removed it unfortunately.”

“Unity doesn't polyfill, it just relies on WASM for everything which results in significantly more consistent behaviour”

“The most productive way for an indie to ship to Nintendo in 2025 is to create the game Unity”

“Unity, for example, already makes building for Linux basically equivalent to building for Windows or Mac.”

“Unity is easily your best option if you've got any sensitivity to platform targeting issues.”

“they have a weird version of mono running things and not so recent C# features available”

“Mir and Unity were perfectly fine technologies but they retired it because they didn't want to see things through”

“I did, however, run Unity on my older PCs, as it was far less taxing on resources than early versions of GNOME3”

“Best part about Unity was that you could hold down the meta button, and it would reveal the cheatsheet for all the other window manipulation shortcuts.”

“With Unity I have access to the asset store, which has a massive amount of content”

“they aren't still there with being first partner with many industry places, that always release a Unity SDK for their products.”
