 @eb948c00 I've always wanted to write my own engine (outside of work I mean) and though all this Unity nonsense is a good reason to seriously think about again, I imagine I'll probably just move over to UE.
I've made most of my income over the last decade by porting Unity games from PC to console & it seems that's in just as much demand with UE games (though I might need to get an even beefier PC first). 
 @9f9ce21a same here for the past 5years, I imagine there's demand for UE as well, for me it's been mostly Unity and GM2 
 @9f9ce21a @eb948c00 from experience, you should only ever write your own engine if you’re doing 2D or maybe something extremely basic in 3D. Otherwise making the engine will become the only thing you do 😬 
 @36209ee4 @9f9ce21a agree, and even 2D is easy to side track on "more features", but if fully focused on what's only needed for any given project it's very doable these days.
