Unity

Great and Powerful software though I'm kind of upset that the there aren't all that many serious developers working with this software. I heard there was a System Shock remake being made using Unity that looked amazing but unfortunately the developer switched game engines.

If the developers for Unity decided to make this available for a Linux environment and provided an open source stripped down version then I believe we could see a greater interest in this software but as it is now I doubt we'll see that any time soon.

Regardless of all that this is still amazing software available for the public. You should definitely check it out.

there are many problems with unity and its recent updates. if you add too much high 3d models stuff like a forest, it will lag the game and no way to fix this that's how unity was made. Then you got all these fanboys who claim to love unity, do they really like it? did they ever build anything that is consider hard? 95% of unity developers never even made a open world game just the basic 3d level game. The engine is not even helpful with network (aka: multiplayer), thats a whole new kind of C# language and guess what hosting a server is not free. There is a problem with unity being used as an easy way to build easy games with plug-ins, that itself is making many bad games that people just upload to random websites.

Also unity does not have the "forever game" tag, once we upgrade our computers into something like "windows 20" we will no longer be able to play unity games from the 2015 era. It happen before with google shutting down the NPAPI for security reasons, there goes 2005-2015 unity web-player games that everyone had worked hard. Who to say that it might not happen with android, it already is upgrading to "marshmallow".

If you want better game development and a game that will last forever, then use another engine.

Most games made with the Unity Engine are performance suckers.

You are pretty much shooting yourself in the foot by going with Unity. And if you are already deeply committed to it - try to migrate to something else, at least for your new games if not existing ones. Go with Godot which is FOSS and based AF! If you really, really, really need to (for whatever reason) go with Unreal Engine - that's OK, but it's not FOSS. Bevy is also a new gem that will probably be a big deal in the future when it matures as it's built in Rust and uses Rust.

In January 2024, Unity is adding a new monthly fee per install, and it is awful. Switch to Godot Engine instead, which is open source and free of charge.

It has games and a whole bunch of fun

Unity is great for beginners since it shows you how to implement some advanced stuff very easily.
