no. though their license agreement explicitly allows adding language bindings etc.

looking at the unity->ue4 docs, ue4's C++ naming conventions are gross Windows C++ Programmer ickiness. your custom class that inherits Actor? name it starting with A, like ASomeGameObject. and they do that godawful prefixing of bool variables with "b", like bIsPlayerDead but still, way more powerful that Unity, you don't need to lug around Mono on non-Windows platforms, and you can do the basic poo poo in C++ and then use BluePrint for instance-specific customizations. edit: here goes

yeah but can you do it in 3d with physically-based rendering?

unreal engine 4.7.1 on OS X 20 minute trip report: slow as hell, buggy as hell edit: the editor follows my mouse around even when another app has focus. Like, as I type this in Safari, if I move the mouse around (entirely within Safari's window), I can see poo poo getting highlighted in UnrealEd behind it.

So Unity 5 is out, free with no royalties, and you get all engine features. There are some optional, non-engine things you can get in the $75/month Pro version, like Unity Analytics, but it appears you get all the actual engine features in the free version. Realtime global illumination, physically-based rendering, PhysX 3.3, etc., free with no royalties. Plus they finally added iOS 64-bit support, and have Metal support as well (UE4 has had both of those for a while AFAIK). Still gonna give UE4 and honest try, but drat is it slow as gently caress on Macs.

To be fair, though, we're talking about a 2011 iMac with a 2.8ghz quad-core i7 and an AMD Radeon HD 6770M (with only 512MB VRAM). Still, I would've thought a basic scene with a wall, a floor, and that round table that comes in the starter content pack should be able to get more than 35FPS.

i think carmack is done with rockets. the armadillo aerospace website hasn't been updated since early 2013, and all his tweets are about oculus and 3D graphics.

I haven't done either yet. All I got the chance to do yesterday was put in a floor, a wall, that round table, and then wonder why it ran so poorly. will look into it more tonight.

LOL that the CoC game programming thread is full of people complaining about not being able to use C# for UE4 like they can in Unity. The actual UE4 forum thread linked to in there has a guy complaining that he can't use Delphi "because he has 15 years of Delphi programming experience".

Breakfast All Day posted:in his defense i had to work on a delphi codebase for a week once and would describe it the same way He wanted to keep using Delphi. Like, use it to make UE4 games. He has 15 years of Delphi experience and seems to refuse to learn anything else. UE4's license says you can use whatever language bindings you want, and can even publish them for others to use, but they have to be free and open source.

echinopsis posted:if they want babies first game coding they have blueprints available to them and readig Tim sweenies Defense of c++ for ue4 is quite good The guy from the studio making their own C# binding just so they can keep on making Unity games but with UE4 instead seems to kinda miss the point. UE4 is written in C++, and having all your game code be C++ all the way from bottom to top means you can actually add new object types, expose new functionality to BluePrint, etc., whereas to keep things sane that guy's studio is adding their C# binding at the BluePrints layer, so all they can do is build upon the public BluePrint API exposed by the C++ classes. Can't wait to get enough time off to start digging into UE4.

Yeah, it's only $3k/quarter, not $30k. 5% is nothing, even if it is 5% of gross revenue & funding for that game. The App Store, Steam, etc take way more. Unity 5 is only free until (or unless) your organization makes $100k/yr. Not for individual games that make under $100k, but if your whole company makes more than $100k/yr you gotta pay up.

echinopsis posted:oh. still id be stoked to make that much AFAIK you have to tell them about your game. or, I imagine, if they see a cool new game, find out it uses UE4 but the dev never e-mailed them prior to release/app store submission, they'll ask the dev to pay up. and they reserve the right to audit you. and if you don't comply with the audit they'll sue.
