What are the pro/cons of Unity3D as a choice to make games?
- by jokoon
We are doing our school project with Unity3d, since they were using Shiva the previous year (which seems horrible to me), and I wanted to know your point of view for this tool.
Pros:
multi platform, I even heard Google is going to implement it in Chrome
everything you need is here
scripting languages makes it a good choice for people who are not programming gurus
Cons:
multiplayer ?
proprietary, you are totally dependent of unity and its limit and can't extend it
it's less "making a game from scratch"
C++ would have been a cool thing
I really think this kind of tool is interesting, but is it worth it to use at school for a project that involves more than 3 programming persons ? What do we really learn in term of programming from using this kind of tool (I'm ok with python and js, but I hate C#) ? We could have use Ogre instead, even if we were learning direct x starting january...
