Unity 5 and Unreal Engine 4 are now free of charge!

The problem with DP / FTE that it's been only tested with Quake. And even then it has bugs. However, idTech 4 (or my engine based off Doom 3 BFG) was tested by years of playing Doom 3 / RoE and as polished for that gameplay as it could be. That includes better physics, skeletal anim, etc. With BFG engine, a lot of stuff was broken, but we fixed it. So now it's stable in the scope of Phaeton game. Sure, there might be a few small bugs, but nothing that is a show stopper so far (I keep my fingers crossed). I am certain if we wanted to make some Minecraft clone, we would fail and have bunch of new bugs resurfaced.

I think I am going to stick with my engine for now. UE4 is raw, and is quite complex engine. Blueprint isn't something I want to mess with to make a game. It has to be C++ gameplay framework with exposed events to Blueprint for designers to use. Writing gameplay with Blueprint is nuts. Check this out: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthr ... lay-in-4-7 Insane amount of mess for something that could be done in a few lines of script. But there is no script - either C++ or Blueprint.

I am sticking with Unity for mobile and small games, and once Phaeton is released, I'll see about UE4.

I've had several different kinds of people shout at me already. But unfixable engine bugs just add to the problem. I'd rather not be responsible for those at least.

Guess blueprints give new meaning to 'spagetti code'.
Seems there's some third party scriping things in the works for UE4.

There's probably more, believe someone was doing Lua also...
