Is Unreal Engine Good for Indie Games 

Also unreals realism shouldn't be the only factor of making games. I feel like that aspect is incredible but graphics aren't what make games fun

I'm still very early in my journey, started with Unity and moved to Unreal, and yes I'm really enjoying Unreal and yes it's good for indie games. But also, is Unity good for indie games? Yes. Is Godot good for indie games? Yes. I think it's all down to personal preference. Watching a lot of other devlogs lately, I've seen some phenomenal things come from individuals using every game engine. It's a great time to be a creator.

Hey man, idk if you will ever see this but EuroraGames has stolen this video from you by just change the pitch of your voice

I believe that one of the big contributors to the popularity of indy games is, indy games are made to be enjoyed while Tripple-A games are made to fliece gamers for their money. Many of the now tripple-A game studios produced much better games when they still operated out of daddy's garage. Sid Meyer games were most enjoyable in the age of the Amstrad and Amiga. Every newer, more powerful itteration of Sid Meyer's Pirates was less enjoyable than the one before, despite having better graphics and better mechanics, better scripting, new mini games, etc... The early Doom and Wolfenstein games were innovative and awesome...all the Doom Clones (every 1st person shooter) created since is lack luster, just the same old slug fest and only got their brand recognition and claim to "most realistic graphics ever" to attract players. And that is where the issue lies. Tripple-A is in the business of making money, and that means, sticking to the tried and true, innovation is a risk the accountants in head office are not willing to take. Indy creators are CEOed by (aspiring) game developers, not by lawers and accountants. They make games to be enjoyed, not to rake in the big bucks.

Its a very good looking engine, but sadly as an indie dev its so bloated and has such a high learning curve its almost impossible to make a viable game without 3-5 years of work by which time things have changed so the statment is not entirely true that a lot of devs are moving into it but they will dabble.

What was the game with the man and the dog around the 7.30 minute mark?

5:08 what's the game ?

Can I get the name of the game at 7:27

5:07 please what game is that

Can I get the name of this game at 5:07

"Is Unreal Engine Good for Indie Games?" the answer is YES, and nothing else. Unreal Engine is nothing short of a powerhouse of a software.

I feel like Unity is better for indie game dev. It's like a 5GB software that runs on a laptop and is focused on performance. sure it is not comparable to UE5 graphically, but those demos only run on extremely powerful machines and last generation consoles, they are not relevant in everyday life.

Unrelated what was the game in 00:27

FORTNIGHT LOL

Nah, graphics are overrated anyway (Dwarf Fortress anyone?).

The idea that indie is something new shows a serious lack of wisdom on the history of video games. Dude, literally EVERY FUCKING VIDEO GAME ever made in the 70s and early 80s were programmed by ONE person for each game. Every Atari game, early Activision game, almost every Apple II game has one person credited to its creation. Games started indie and became something else. Now we have a resurgence on the beginning. To say this is some new phenomenon is insane and ignorant.

I think this video has a few flaws. You should not compete with people to make games

UE5 looks and sounds free but its actually expensive for indie devs and i dont recommend it for example you need an expensive gaming laptop to run ue5 lumen, nanite was designed wth tripple AAA games in mind. (I am talking about high poly budget games , which is a non starter for indie developers.) Having understood this I stuck to using Unity until Unreal starts making their engine low entry level friendy.
