Building repo prompt, formerly xr at Unity
It’s certainly a great game but it is very frustrating to play because if you so much as sneeze at the wrong time you just die.

It’s much harder than the original hollow knight and they make you pay to unlock save points with a currency you lose when you die.

It’s really fun but the story and writing are some of the worst in the series. The gameplay is fantastic though

The other thing here is that - games are team projects. Having an editor to work in and author different parts is hugely important.

Authoring experience makes all the difference and that’s a lot of work!

I don’t think you can’t make a game without an engine, but saying that it makes no difference to start with or without an engine is disingenuous at best.

You put a ton of work into your engine and it suits your game style well, but it doesn’t scale to all genres and art styles.

I skimmed through this (cool video btw), but I think you’re oversimplying the task here

1. You’re using software rendering which can be fine for 2d, but is not a scalable solution for 3d

2. Your build system is a lot of work! Most devs don’t have the patience to build that

It’s not the same amount of work to start with no engine.

How do you deal with cross platform builds? Ui? Input? Profiling? Physics? What about rendering?

Engines are a ton of work, and if you’re building one from scratch for your game you’re going to spend way more time on tech than gameplay.

I hope they execs at meta give this a good read! Great reporting Henry

It’s true - I have a 4090 and ray tracing is incredible, but to get full path tracing, you need a 4090 class gpu, so we’re still a ways out for most consumers to afford to experience it.
