This is awesome. Love runescape look and what engine you use?

UnrealEngine 4. Wabbaboy said this on twitter.

Not the dev, but to save some time I just answered.

Thank you for answering. I was wondering and I love the portrait following the movement of the player. I'm thinking of making a retro shooter and I'm on the fence of what engine to use lol

Wabbaboy133 days ago

Any engine is a good engine.

mara_Mara_mara131 days ago

That's true. Is unreal a good choice for a beginner with no coding skills?

Wabbaboy131 days ago(+1)

Yea, it's very easy to get into. The bad thing about unreal is that by default is ready to render a game with good graphics and it's going to have subpar performance even with a simplistic artstyle. But eh, someday you'll learn to optimise it.

mara_Mara_mara131 days ago

Alright, so optimise is kind of a main problem even if you go low poly. Cause most of the game ideas I have will probably low poly like psx, n64, runescape or even quake lol. Just not sure where to start lol also thank you for replying back and all the help.

Consider using godot or unity! I found them much easier to learn than unreal's super cluttered UI and you'll get a hang of the code. Just start with much simpler 2D projects like a top-down shooter until you feel ready to go for a bigger project.

mara_Mara_mara125 days ago

Alright I give them a shot too. I was thinking of making a simple metroidvania first lol. I want to give another chance cause when I first tried it I bounce off pretty hard. But with the whole pricing thing they did made me question trying again.

Dawzome125 days ago

Yeah, I feel that. I would probably try something even simpler than a metroidvania if you have literally 0 coding skills, I just made a very tiny speedrun metroidvania as my 5th Unity game and I already had some understanding of code beforehand.Controling scope is everything, and right now you wanna not only make games but finish them too.
