ThinMatrix wrote his own for the games he's developing

@@emeralgamedev There are frameworks out there.

Given I'm reimplementing the game maker engine runtime (for, in theory, doing a high res version of the game Iji) - this is true. The thing that's surprised me the most is that reimplementing the game maker language was the easy part, figuring out how to hold onto state in a way that won't cause reentrancy issues (like deleting an object you're currently running a script on) has been the tough one!

Make your own game engine in 8 different games! Wait...

Godot is my favorite for 2d, i prefer unity for 3d not realistic games and unreal for 3dc realistic o nes

Good points

Reality can be anything you want

@@torgeirhansen1434 yeah but soggy cheetos are not a reality I want to see exist 😅

@@SpaceMissile But it could be!

@@torgeirhansen1434Good luck if your potential audience doesn't have that same "interpretation" of reality you do. As an avid gamer I will absolutely not look at a game if their original idea makes zero sense. There are so many games out there that if a developer hasn't taken the time to even think through the basic prenmise of hs game, what confidence can I be expected to have to try it when there are 30 other games in my queue, some with much more thought out game premises. I know we all want to respect each others creativity but if someone is developing a game for their own satsfaction, good luck but don't expect me as a consume to give them "point for trying".

@@torgeirhansen1434 I believe a soggy wet towel as an example of Scripticus from IdleOn really made my day entirely. For one, people often assume something unrealistic should never be used for a game to popularize, especially on how magic works in the first place. Second to my point, the thing about imagination is that it doesnt always add context, nor that it has to. When making a game from scratch, your scope can literally look at whatever it is in your mind that toward others are impossible. Thirdly, it's just a game the sky's the limit, and you can literally make it as you please. I always a standbeliever for ambiguity and a totally uniquely foreign concept we never thought about is how it makes a game 'original' to its own respect. Also to @Chuck Hickl , have you always feel these "out of context" ideas are such a waste of space that you feel you can't think being that they don't compute towards what you want, and how you want? It's not necessarily a good or a bad thing, all ideas can start small and parties between concepts clash for whatever draft that is in process before the concept is finalized. When one minute it is a fun idea for children to have wildly cool ideas that bring new grounds for accelerating bright minds(like captain underpants and my little pony), another minute adults or even seniors can get technical and draw away that feel off from the kids, it's "stupid". If you love fantasies so much for example, how come there are people who liked beholders, unicorns, trolls and dragons? Some of their biology is out of context but to the point it brings more imagination to the crowd than literal ideas. I agree literal aesthetics can make stories fascinating, but we should not ignore imagination completely just because.

Me too, devs are definitely pushing for it to become the open source engine of their dreams and it's going to be so cool.

@@cikame I won't hold my breath.

only thing that will keep people using unity and people going to unity is the amount that do and used to use it the amount of assets is insane makes it much easier for people that cant texture or model they can just grab some assets real quick thats the main reason im using unity

@@RealPancakes3 It's gone back to being a good option again but man what a scare, fingers crossed it doesn't happen again but gaining some other valid free options was also a great result.

what changed did they get rid of the thing so they no longer take money per download?@@cikame

Yeah, it's more of a showcase than an in-depth comparison! If you're trying to release a large or commercial game, it's probably a good idea to do a bit of research. It really does depend on what your end goals are as to which engine you might want to use. I was coming from a place of just wanting to try things outside my comfort zone. Having done that, I do think I would use engines other than Unity depending on the scope and needs of the project. Thanks for watching and for the input!

Fireship has made a video like that comparing different front end frameworks

I do like the rpg maker catcher game though, it looked the most interesting/fun lol

well idk you should still go with unity for most gsmrs because it has the most tutorial’s

@@ihx7 once you know how to code/use game engines you don't need to stick to just ones that have the most tutorials. I would personally recommend godot because it has a better workflow imo and it's free, but it has far less tutorials than unity. that being said if you want to make a hyper-realistic shooter game unreal is probably your best bet, and that is what this comment is getting at. if you're experienced enough you don't need to stick to an all purpose engine just because it has the most tutorials. (though I do think there are plenty of valid reasons to stick to 1 engine, and I do this myself)

I felt the exact same way when I started! Now the landscape is entirely different and the possibilities are endless. It's exciting!

There's also tons of free/open source apps to help with you make virtually anything you want

It is quite easy to rough out some of the simpler game types with stock assets, but making something polished that people will want to play for more than a few minutes is a much harder challenge. That is no doubt why so many crowd funded projects fail after seemingly getting off to a good start.

@@roqsteady5290 agree. Making cutscenes etc, like the games of Mario & Luigi super star sage, it´s gets a lot harder. If you do a RPG story game, you also need a really good story to keep people play. Also, music is everything. Its def easier, but its still difficult.

Yeah, me too man! I almost got a game studio started 20 years ago. This makes me think I can do that high budget shit myself at home now for dirt cheap, or maybe with a couple other recruits off the interweb. Wow! Let's do it, give some projects a try man! I will too.

they make repetitive and commonly used tasks easy, but making an actual game is definitely still quite complex

@@brunofranco8385 Oh for sure, I didn't mean to imply that it was easy. I just didn't realize that was such a direct visual element to it; I thought that there'd be an extra layer of abstraction where stuff like the position of items all had to be determined in the written code itself (like how you'd build a GUI for a website or application)

@@BenkaiDebussy ah yeah it's actually quite striking how involved these engines are and how inspiring it can be to even look at your scene while you're writing scripts and stuff. when i first learned how to use Unity writing a script to rotate a cube was already mind blowing to me.

Game engines have come a long way. Just think, being a solo game developer is something people can do in their spare time now.

Still not a hobby thing if you want to make a game and publish it, you still need a ton of programs just for say. . Animation of a 3d character, takes like 3 months of about 4 hours a day to make a 30 sec cutseen in a game even with motion capture

GDScript is much easier to write than C# though, so if you already know C#, then learning GDScript should take no time at all, like literally less than an hour. Coding, and game development by extension, isn't about what programming languages you know, it's about problem solving. As a guy in a different video I watched said: "When it comes to coding, typing is the easy part, problem solving is the challenge."

Code go crazy

@@TheOnlyGhxst That's why I use C# in Godot, it is far easier to prevent problems when using a statically typed language. It also helps that the better autocomplete functions speed up writing the code. (I'm using Godot 4 by the way, so the full .NET experience)

@@TheOnlyGhxst it's less verbose and it's static type system is lacking

Also, if you know C# even a little it will only take a session or two to get familiar with it. I definitely prefer it to C# and I'm a fairly confident programmer

I'm glad you found it interesting, Master! Yeah, every engine has its uses. I think Godot would be a perfect engine to use/ learn. I was weirdly hesitant to try a different engine but honestly, I'm so much more excited about making games after doing it!

​@@emeralgamedev💀

Godot just got a major release in 4.x version, now is a great time to start!

I've been using Godot for a year now, the first engine I've used. It's great for starting out!

@@dustingarner4620 Are you using the new 4. version? my computer wouldn't let me use it so I downloaded the 3.5 version instead but want to make a simple 3D map game, so hoping its possible, after I learn to use it of course.

Thank you Smirkin', that means a lot!

Riiiight?! A refreshing new face with a positive perspective untainted by cynicism, we need more videos Emeral!

i like scratch because i did use it to learn (i can code lua now, still a starter language lol) but im still making scratch games years later and you can honestly make some insane things on scratch with enough practice

Or you can become the next griffpatch and make a masterpiece port, or like MyRaycastingArchives and port minecraft into a 2d engine made for kids

@@weegie3343 I love MyRaycastingArchives. I've been doing a lot of 3D in Scratch (and GLSL) and I recently attempted Minecraft, but it is genuinely crazy to see how far people have been able to push Scratch despite what it was made for.

I suggest you to take the book "Automate the boring stuff with Python" (there is also a free web version). It seems that you already enjoyed coding, so learning Python should be very fun and interesting to you :)

gendered coding book lmao

Yeah i like that he's just showing the strengths of the engines instead of dissing them or something

such true words. enjoying what you're doing should be a top priority in everything you do in life.

Thanks, Chitus!

And yet it's also hilarious. I was cracking up constantly, mostly because of the way he mentioned random silly things with such a straight face.

Yea kind of stupid video No actuall information and comparison

Wouldn't be fair if he was familiar with Unity and completely new to Unreal for example

give an indian guy $20 on fiver and he'll make it for you

Fun for the whole family!

@@emeralgamedev im gay

​@@potatolol.congrats?

@@potatolol. why are you geh?

Bam?

unreal would always be the best engine for 3d high graphic games lol. Godot would be best 2d and also humble 3d games.

Godot 4 now has volumetric lightning and optimized 3D engine. It wont replace Unreal (I mean, c'mon, that game engine has technologies that is miles ahead of its competitors and Godot), but it could replace Unity's position.

Which one can be better for heavily-physic-based 2d ragdoll platformer with a lot of hidden every-frame calculations?

@@Kugluck definietly not unreal engine, it has such a limited 2d features. best is unity or godot, depends on which one are you better. but godot is easier to use and is more beginner friendly.

better than unreal for 2d if you want, lol but even for 2d, unity is way more advanced than godot for now...

Yeah, I was surprised at how cool some of them are coming from Unity! I can really see myself using construct or gdevelop for small projects that don't need super deep mechanics.

@@emeralgamedev making a game speed run? 👀👀

That's awesome, boodle! You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad it was helpful!

Ive only used Gamemaker and a touch of unity. I want to learn unreal. Honestly I want to learn a lot about this kinda stuff but man ADHD is not conducive XD

unreal also just looks and feels good to use. It looks modern. Alot of other software in the games industry looks like 90s software.

the only comment that are useful, thanks.

Yeah. I was a big fan of it back when it was thriving with the "Sandbox" site. Loved trying all the games on there, and making my own. Hated how they did a 180, and burned all that to the ground, though. I couldn't stomach using the program after that :/

same, it's where i first started programming and found my passion for game dev, will always have a place in my heart.

gamemaker is getting better and better every day... I have being using it for more than 12 years and is a long way... the engine now is very mature, powerful and for me hands down the best 2d game engine out there

Same. GML was my entry to CS. And it had a lot of tools for anything. Only thing i missed was bering able to make a sever app without the actual gui.

Zero Sievert was made with it recently, and it's such a good game.

I don't see the issue here. "GameMaker Vs. Unity!!" sounds like a video, just like this one, comparing game engines, but only 2 instead of 8, wich I hope would make it go more indepth. "Game Engines Ranked" also doesn't sound bad, if the person making it has enough knowledge about all game engines ranked in said video, and acknowledge their bias. "BEST Game Engine of ALL TIME" this is obviously a click bait title, but doesn't means the video will be bad. UKposts is how it is, and some people need to make a living with it. If thats what is needed to get people watching the 3h long indepth video about why X is the "BEST Game Engine of ALL TIME", in the video makers opinion, then so be it. Competition between game engines does not stop people from doing whatever they want

@@cassiohenrique6815 those were just examples, but okay lol

​@@cassiohenrique6815 You said the keyword there, "acknowledge", most of these "which is betters" videos has an objectivist viewer base, they want to know which one is the best, and avoid the worst, so it becames hard for youtubers to acknowledge their bias in these situations, otherwise it wouldn't be an objective answer and there would be a bunch of "ifs" and "it depends", the videos aren't necessarily bad in quality, but may be negative for the viewer because of the lack of transparency of the content creator. That's why videos like this one with "an overall positive vibe" are mostly welcomed and loved, the viewerbase doesn't open it expecting an objective answer, and thus they pay attention to "what would best fit my insterests", so the youtuber would specs all the positives for each option, instead of categorizing them, they let you do it subjectively. So someone wanting to do a 2D adventure explorer would think by themselves that Godot, GameMaker and RPGMaker are the best engines, someone wanting an heavily detailed 3D shooter would know that Ureal or Unity are the best. This video presented facts about each engine, examples of games done in each one, and a personal experience for a new user, so instead of having a personal bias ranking the better one, the video realocate the bias to the viewer and each viewer do it's own ranking.

@@Mostbee yeah basically my thoughts in a more detailed way!

So true! If you are going to compare a hammer and a screw driver you can't only judge them based on how well they do a single task. Emeral's video does a great job acknowledging the strengths, weaknesses and designed utility of each engine. There are circumstances where every engine listed would be the best engine. The important thing is spending time creating not debating which tool to create with.

I hate that program so much, it destroyed my dreams as a child by making me realize i had to learn math and programming to make a real game

@@thomasslone1964 lol you don't need learn programming to make games in game maker

@@Tristanpew those aren't games bro, they might as well be web flash oh wait that requires coding too, if you aren't coding you're just assembling the pieces of some one else project

@@thomasslone1964you obviously haven't made a single game in your life and you're talking nonsense

@@thomasslone1964 sounds more like it gave you an excuse to never try. Its also mistake to think you have to make everything yourself especially when most games are team efforts. Notch's 1st version of what would become Minecraft was pretty bad. The idea caught on and much better programmers made what you see today. The biggest games DotA and LoL started as Warcraft3 custom maps and gained a massive following outside of W3 thus creating the MOBA genre. Yes the solo clients required skilled programmers but the original devs were using regular old Warcraft 3 custom map creator. If you want to make a game just do it. All it takes is imagination and grit.

Do it, friend!

Thanks, Jack. I appreciate the kind words!

Yeah, I'd say just to try one of the no code engines like GDevelop or Construct and work up to making a really small but original project. Then you can build from there. Good luck and keep us updated!

I thought the same thing lmao

Whoa didnt expect that

im forced to use it for school and its very annoying to use, i feel like scratch could even be better than construct lol

​@@coolman36kmaway34NO, its your opinion but i am so angry about this topic i have too rant a bit, Consruct is far more flexible and better to make even remotely complex games, like you dont even have a CAMERA in scratch your stuck in that small box and to make scrolling games you need to code it YOURSELFS and it does not even have built in physics

i know how to program and learned how to in school but i have mental heatlh issues and other game engines seemed too busy for me compared to construct 3. its a lot easier for me to look at everything and if you know how to code you can easily make full fledged games using just the event blocks

i meant the program, not the engine

A lot of engines have been forgotten such as Torque 3d.

Thanks, man. I'm a big fan of your channel and what you're doing to put GDevelop on the map!

@@emeralgamedev 🥳👍

@@HelperWesley Awesome! And good luck with your projects as well!

I get what you're saying, but if you need that you can try by yourself all the 8 game engines used in the video

Literal weeks of learning new engines, development, bug solving

Thanks, Superworm! I'll put them on my list

While I am not a game developer myself, I have also heard of Clickteam Fusion, which has been used to make masterpieces like Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad, so it’s probably also worth a look-see.

I had not heard of those engines I'll check them out :)

It is indeed very intuitive and can make any type of games (not just basic/simple) but quite advanced multiplayer games easily in less time! Never got stuck in Construct...been using it since 10 years now as a hobbyist game developer.

Construct is awesome. Especially with the ability to code in JS!

There’s a Tutorial that shows you that on the website
