tfw you fuckin bust your game idea wide open
@Jessiscah fair enough. i still think there's a fair bit of hate directed at unity (and gamemaker, to an extent) that has nothing to do with performance, but you're definitely right that devs, especially smaller devs, systemically ignore performance concerns
@Jessiscah i've played a billion games that ran poorly on my (decently powerful!) machine that were made with id tech, unreal, game maker, or custom engines. if the issue is that devs aren't prioritizing performance on low-end machines, *make that the issue*
@Jessiscah "the game performs poorly, here's how, this matters because not everyone has a dedicated gaming PC" is a very different take from "this game runs on unity which makes it hard to optimize for reasons i never explain and don't understand and aren't true"
@Jessiscah i think talking about performance is essential but it needs to be done in context and that's not what these writers are doing. they're saying "i saw this game was made in unity, that's why it's bad."
you can talk about performance without throwing lots and lots and lots of game developers, especially ones doing experimental, noncommercial stuff, under the bus for no reason
@grime_witch i've never actually played either of them, i just watched kitty horrorshow play silent hill 2 and i've played like the first 20 minutes of silent hill 1
@grime_witch yeah but silent hill 2 is hideous while silent hill 1 still looks great
a game just can't be scary unless it has integer vertex precision
