   It feels like Unity has no future. Godot is eating the low end and Unreal owns the high end.
   
   I wish I could invest in Epic because I think the Unreal Engine would be a perfect platform for AI agents to create stuff inside of.

     You didn't hear about their attempt to change their pricing model to be based on "per install" numbers?

     hmm ... guess the pricing changes kinda make more sense now ... I mean not really. They should have just cut costs instead of fucking over devs/publishers, but I guess I can see why they attempted it now.

     @colonelj their expenses doubled that year. They've never made money.

     @crunklord420 @colonelj I remember in college all the game design courses swore by Unity. I'm glad it's on the way out tbh.

     @Pawlicker @colonelj @crunklord420 @djsumdog The only Godot game that had nay relevancy is Cruelty Squad, and it's only based on it because the sodomite that developed it wanted to be as contrarian as possible by choosing the relatively obscure engine.

     @djsumdog @colonelj @crunklord420 the problem with fucking over devs is simple really.
     
     It absolutely fueled a exodus onto different engines. Godot had some huge indie dev whales pumping money into them like Notch did when he was e-famous and flush with minecraft cash.
     
     The Terraria dev also pumped money into Godot, FNA, and later Monogame as well.
     
     That's on top of games yearly being released with other engines and frameworks and not Unity and it's going to be felt so much harder in the years to come. Sure there's no asset store, but the asset store was a meme of "shitty asset flips".

     @mint @Pawlicker @colonelj @djsumdog there's plenty of Godot games, probably most 2D. The 3D stuff in Godot, especially a few years ago, was relatively primitive. I pretty sure Cruelty Squad had like zero culling or LoD because it ran like shit.
     
     Lots of focus on 3D over the past couple years, though.
