#GAMESALAD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE CODE#
All engines have limits, you need to code to work around them, visual scripting won't cut it. But once you get past that step to the point of actual production and later optimization you'll want to be doing it through code. I see visual scripting as an awesome way to get up to and through the prototyping phase of development, really quick and easy to get things running, really fast iteration time. At some point I bet someone will make some Lua bindings for UE4, that'll open it up to anyone, but for now C++ is a really hard thing for a novice to deal with even though at first it's nicely hidden away by Blueprints. If the OP had some background in programming then sure go with UE4, learn some C++ along the way, no problem. Though Haxe/Stencyl is somewhat debatable due to lack of community/tutorials/documentation. All the other engines have much easier programming languages to deal with at that point. For the OP (someone who doesn't know programming at all) C++ will be like hitting a brick wall. My reasoning against recommending Unreal 4 to the OP is that as with any visual scripting system eventually you'll have to do something that is very inefficient or impossible to do without code. IIRC I mostly used Kismet with UE3 to control triggers, physics, enemy spawning, environment animations, etc. Unreal 4 didn't even exist on my radar until a few months preface this by saying I don't have much experience with visual scripting systems. Unless someone want to explain to me why *learning* anything else would be more favorable to someone in the long run I'm going to go ahead an continue to say that Unreal 4 is the undisputed world champion of game engines currently. But Blueprint is far more powerful and easier to use too. My roots are in blender game engine.It is extremely intuitive in the sense that you model what you want and animate and bake and paint and sculpt all right there inside of your levels and play them right there in the same viewport.īut still gotta give it to Unreal 4. Though with that said using Blender Game Engine to make games would be kind of off the beaten path. Python is a really easy programming language to learn and if you're a 3D artist as many people on Polycount are then it will be useful for you in many other 3D apps as well, Maya, Modo, etc.
I'm pretty sure you can also use Python when you want to actually code stuff. It uses something called " logic bricks" for visual scripting. Another interesting choice would be Blender's game engine.
