Moving from Unity to Unreal: An Indie Studio’s Perspective
Deciding which game engine to make your next title in can be a difficult task for any studio. At Junkfish, we recently made the decision to go from a Unity-only studio, to developing and releasing titles in Unreal as well. This session will compare our experience between the two engines, as we discovered for ourselves the differences in features, solutions and pain points of the two engines.
As we transitioned away from the prefabs and C# of Unity, we had to learn Unreal’s code and feature equivalents, handle differences in project architecture, and adapt to various workflow changes. This talk will focus on which aspects of development became easier, and which became more challenging, largely from a programmer’s perspective.
My aim is to provide a developer’s insight to help other studios determine if switching from Unity to Unreal, or vice versa, is the right choice for them.
Session Takeaway
- Insights into the development differences between Unity and Unreal
- Overview of our team’s transition from Unity to Unreal
- The hindsight of developing a project in a new engine
