Your right in that departement, it is a hell of alot easier.(But I needed a new challenge)Originally Posted by Solitude
When I last looked at CryEngine it wasn't well documented but to be honest, it was quite a while back. Beginning of last year I think? Things may have changed. Also it sounds like you enjoy the C++ where most people would find it to be difficult. Although don't CryEngine make use of Lua too? I can't remember.
I just always thought of Unity as easier to use. Having tons of examples, a very active community and coding in C#. My day job is coding mostly in C# after years of being a C++ developer and I just love C# to bits. Plus Unity has an asset store that's just great and speeds up development time tremendously.
I must admit though that I'm not that familiar with CryEngine and that me thinking that it's a difficult engine may be completely wrong.
I like your plan of doing things in steps. Lots of people want to do everything at once. It sounds like you are under control though. And in the end it's all about having fun.
"Unity has an asset store that's just great and speeds up development time tremendously." You so right about this part.
This is a HUGE plus - "very active community", cry is active but almost like it takes weeks to get answer's.
Yeah it was not very well documented, but now I think they have it under control.You should have a look if you want.
Damn im jealous, I really wish that I could have had that head start in any programming. Unfortunately I only started learning about Programming 3 years ago and that was not even hardcore, cause it was SQL administration and Access, did not do alot of scripting but did a hell of alot of reverse engineering and writing simple things.
C++ takes a while to rap your head around, but I think its like any other language.(Might be wrong, through reading I will discover)
Yeah thanks I do so far, it is hell interesting, like i really cant wait to get home and read and practice.
Yeah cry does use .Lua, but thats for its action scripts (i think) could be wrong, have not dived into the source code or any coding.
CryEngine is a little baby, you have to hold its hand, you have to rebuild Assets sometimes. So yeah its pretty hardcore for beginners.
Have you stopped messing around with game development?
