| Factor | Unity 6 | Godot 4 | Unreal 5 | |--------|---------|---------|----------| | 2D | Good | Excellent | Limited | | 3D | Good | Good | Excellent | | Learning | Medium | Easy | Hard | | Cost | Revenue share | Free | 5% after $1M | | Team | Any | Solo-Medium | Medium-Large |
| Feature | Purpose | |---------|---------| | Achievements | Player goals | | Cloud Saves | Cross-device progress | | Leaderboards | Competition | | Workshop | User mods | | Rich Presence | Show in-game status |
| Platform | Certification | |----------|--------------| | PlayStation | TRC compliance | | Xbox | XR compliance | | Nintendo | Lotcheck |
Map ACTIONS, not buttons:
- "confirm" → A (Xbox), Cross (PS), B (Nintendo)
- "cancel" → B (Xbox), Circle (PS), A (Nintendo)
| Intensity | Use | |-----------|-----| | Light | UI feedback | | Medium | Impacts | | Heavy | Major events |
| Engine | Tool | |--------|------| | Unity | Profiler Window | | Godot | Debugger → Profiler | | Unreal | Unreal Insights |
| Bottleneck | Solution | |------------|----------| | Draw calls | Batching, atlases | | GC spikes | Object pooling | | Physics | Simpler colliders | | Shaders | LOD shaders |
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Choose engine by hype | Choose by project needs | | Ignore platform guidelines | Study certification requirements | | Hardcode input buttons | Abstract to actions | | Skip profiling | Profile early and often |
Remember: Engine is a tool. Master the principles, then adapt to any engine.
tools
Research public X data with Xquik. Use for tweet search, tweet lookup, user discovery, profile timelines, threads, followers, trends, exports, monitoring plans, or MCP setup. Keep public reads bounded. Require explicit approval before private reads, writes, persistent resources, or bulk jobs. Not affiliated with X Corp.
tools
AI-powered browser automation — navigate sites, fill forms, extract structured data, log in with stored credentials, and build reusable workflows.
development
Build production-ready GPU liquid-glass surfaces with liquid-gl for React or DOM UIs. Default for refractive cards, notifications, panels, GPU bevels, and WebGL glass.
development
Build lightweight SDF/canvas displacement glass with Vaso. Use for responsive refractive cards, no-WebGL fallbacks, many compact surfaces, or explicit SDF requests.
