discussion What game engine do you prefer adult games to use?

[oopiii]

I like renpy because scroll back and skip text function

 

[uncbuck]

Looking at it blind -- like for a new game I would say RenPy But there are also very good RPGM and Unity games. The problem is that some RPGM games are an endless grindfest map based nightmare where you get lost a LOT. And some Unity games are nearly unplayable. There is simply more chance of a RenPy game being a goodie. One of m,y favorites (the Spellbook) is Unity and another (The Office Wife) is RPGM

i like ren'py

 

[MihoTakumi]

Renpy > Unity > RPGM.
Majority of my played games are on Renpy, maybe like 5%-10% of them are Unity and RPGM.

 

[M0rfi]

I would like to see some UE 5 or Cry Engine games xd

Vns - renpy
Most anything else, unity

 

[Shimotsuma]

Ren'py all the way lol, I love the rollback option way too much

 

[aenignaz]

You can't go wrong with Renpy for VNs

 

[psyOP]

Wish unity had rollback

 

[Shimotsuma]

Wish unity had rollback

I can't recall wich game it was, but I think I saw one that had it, but it was a bit restrictive in comparison to ren'py (like, couldn't rollback past choices and such)

Generally speaking, Ren'py, as I prefer VNs, and that's what Ren'Py does well. I actively dislike RPGM and QSP, even though I play a fair amount of RPGM for some more niche genres (due to a lack of options). HTML, Unity, Unreal can all be good, but I'm under the impression that they're often not executed well, or development takes a long time due to the engines being a bit more complex (not applicable to HTML, except for the few devs delving into Snowman for Twine).

Renpy if the developer has no aspirations to actually get better at coding. The easy of modding it by even rookie coders, makes it superior to other options.

I've seen too many "devs" choose an engine that adds nothing new compared to renpy equivalents in the name of improving their skills but then proceeds to make zero improvement for years on end.

Unless you're doing something pretty advanced, Unity and the like are complete overkill for the purposes of a VN.

 

[anyplay]

anything that allows for good animated 2d/3d games

 

[stfios69]

Ren'Py > Unity > HTML

 

[ukalias]

My engine of choice is Renpy, and I am not a fan of RPGM

 

[User_104811]

I like Ren'py and RPG maker.

 

[Terranorm10]

Renpy is easier to make good, but difficult to make great. And Unity can be fucked up so easily, but when dome right it is chefs kiss!

 

[moodss]

RPG maker!!!!

 

[blackstar42]

Ren'py definitely. RPGM is too clunky. And my computer is shit so there's a decent change a Unity game is gonna crash.

 

[MichealIsKing!]

Renpy. But honestly anything other than RPGM or HTML is a winner
