| 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.
