    Is there something to be worried about here with the Unreal Engine being the only big business in town in terms of indie game development for 3d game engines?

    I mean obviously yes, but how worried should we be of this becoming a bottleneck?

      Godot has been making leaps and bounds. Obviously not close to UE, but if it maintains its rate of improvement, I can see it becoming a more and more common choice in the indie space over the next few years

        Godot has a great name, I gotta give it that. I was going to make a Beckett joke but then I realized that was just what it was named after lol.

        Nah, it definitely is, in fact I have noticed a disconcerting number of indie games I REALLY like especially 3d games with physics engines are on the unreal engine.

        I have always been a massive fan of at least the creative output of projects on the unreal engine, I don’t know much about the politics and details around how it is to actually create games on the unreal engine or anything though. I just don’t trust Epic honestly or whoever owns them now or rather I don’t trust the incentive structure… but yeah I wish the unreal engine success I am just asking how people see the state of similar engines in this moment.
