How to pick a game engine: Unity vs. Unreal

1

Unity

As far as Unity… I’m not a huge fan but still think it can work very well for many things. Another thing about Unity, you don’t need to use code to work with it. Use Playmaker or Bolt, both available in Unity’s asset store. But you don’t need to code with many engines these days… GameMaker has drag & drop as well as its own scripting language (GML), and the previously mentioned Construct and Clickteam Fusion are even easier for beginners. Code just gives you more control.

If you’re playing a modern videogame, seriously, like just about any game you can think of, then it’s very likely made in either Unity or Unreal. These are both game engines, and if you don’t know what that is, you will in the next twenty seconds. A game engine is a piece of software that people use to build games. Game engines have a lot of game mechanics already built in which means you don’t have to build an engine yourself to cover things like movement, animation, lighting, etc.
