very annoying to spend years trying to convince people to stop saying shit like 'the game sucks because it's on Unity' because game engines don't work that way and then every single Unreal Engine 5 Game is actually exactly like that

The death of unity
Unity was once heralded as the savior of the video game industry. It was relatively easy to use, and provided an engine/framework for multiple games rather than just one. Even as late as the early 200...

Two types of game engines
Calvin & Hobbes comic meme. Dad explains "Using a GAME ENGINE? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of game engines are menus and parkour. All game engines fall intwo these two categories. Game maker studio. Menus. Source: Parkour. Twine? Menus. Unreal? Parkour. Godot? Menus. CryEngine? Parkour. Despite jumping around a lot, Unity is Menus." Final panel: Calvin can't sleep. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #unity #unreal

As Unity continues to be Unity, let me pull across a Mastodon thread that I posted during a previous period a couple years ago when Unity was being Unity:

If you can ship a game in Unity, you can ship a game in any other proven engine out there 🧵

Unity have finally done something that #Unity3d developers have been asking them to do for ages.

They created their own game, from concept to publishing, using Unity 6. Let the dog fooding begin!

The 2026 Global Game Jam #GGJ26 was last weekend, so let's take a look at their historical data for engine usage.

📈 @godotengine.org is having a good run!

#Godot is now firmly established as the #2 engine in game jams (correlated by #GMTKJam data), rapidly closing the gap with #Unity.
Graph showing the relative share of game engines used in Global Game Jam from 2018 to 2026. It mainly shows a relative decrease of the Unity share from nearly 80% to 57%, while Godot grew from 1.4% to over 25%. There's a notable inflexion point in the year-on-year growth from Godot in 2024.
