Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Everyone, I have been looking at making a multi-platform game, RPG style, for Android, IOS, Windows, and Linux. The two options I have come up with are Unity 3D and the Unreal Engine UDK. While looking at both of them and what they have to offer, I cannot find a clear choice in which to use. I really like the look of Unreal Engine 4 and all of its particle effects and dynamic lighting, but I also quite like the looks and features of Unity. I really cannot decide which one to go with. In the next month, when I have my new system built, I plan to try out both of these engines and see which one I like better but for now I would like to see if there is a solidly better option that most people prefer to go with. To complement either of these engines I will be trying out several autodesk plugins that can be used with both engines, also as a modeling platform. Please give me your opinions and whatever hard facts you may know, I REALLY appreciate the help that this forum can provide. i5 4440, 8GB 1600 mhz, Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H, SX900 128gb SSD, 850w 80+ Gold, FD R4, 270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 18, 2013 You will probably be able to find more support/info on UDK because it is just such a popular engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the customization and vast user and dev community, the actual support and tutorials are endless Andres "Bluejay" Alejandro Montefusco - The Forums Favorite Bird!!!

Posted June 18, 2013 Ok. so what about actual workflow, ease of use, and all around awsesomeness? With only just jumping in, you'll have a bit of control problems. However, if you have a walkthrough of the menu before, you'll have much more ease. Andres "Bluejay" Alejandro Montefusco - The Forums Favorite Bird!!!

Posted June 18, 2013 Better than Unity? Unity is for smaller games. From the looks of it, the UDK will have more power with your project.

Yeah, I am planning for high resolutions on PC, (4K), and large worlds, even on mobile. So the UDK is lookin like my choice at this point then, i5 4440, 8GB 1600 mhz, Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H, SX900 128gb SSD, 850w 80+ Gold, FD R4, 270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailers for it look incredible. i5 4440, 8GB 1600 mhz, Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H, SX900 128gb SSD, 850w 80+ Gold, FD R4, 270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you like, you can wait for it. The Unreal Engine 4 is actually including very dynamic technologies like the famous NVIDIA PhysX particle physics technology.

Posted June 18, 2013 As previously stated, Unity is mostly geared towards easy publishing -especially on mobile- and generally smaller games. UDK is better for fully-fledged "serious" desktop projects. You can find a list of games built using the unreal engine here, just to get excited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games In both cases, check out Digital Tutors, I think they have a few courses on those engines.
