    I'm working on a concept for a game that I would like to prototype, I have no 3d modelling experience which i have treated as a barrier to getting in to 3d dev for years but i'm good with the code (i've been modding games and building 2d games for 22 years or so now)

    Now: I've been building a lot of Rust mods recently, so i'm familiar with the Unity platform (the code not the ID) and I quite like CSharp, I haven't used Unreal since UnrealScript days but C++ doesn't really intimidate me.

    The big thing attracting me to Unreal over Unity is metahuman and the gigapixel libs/ terrain generation. My concept is very trippy but needs to have a root in a sparse realism... I would like to spend as little time as possible on terrain, models & animation so I can concentrate on the gameplay mechanic and dedicated server/ client code.

    Every video on youtube is telling me that Unity and Unreal are fairly matched and I can see advantages of both, but is there any basis in my assumption that I may get better realism with Unreal with less work?

    • I personally do think you can get higher quality easier in Unreal. This is after working in Unity for the past 5 years but never working in Unreal...mantrakid
