    There will never be a tool to convert Unity projects to Unreal. However there are already several to convert Unity to Godot, because both use C#

      How much work was it to convert ?

      I guess the tool didn’t managed every single detail ?

    Sadly it can’t work that way. From a programming perspective alone they are very different engines.

    Unity uses C# while Unreal is C++.

  We chose unity because we thought unreal model was shitty too.

  Next time it’s open source, godot or stride or i don’t know, but not unreal.

  They would have done the same shit if it worked

    I’ve honestly been surprised that Godot’s getting a lot of hype out of this. I honestly expected MonoGame/XNA to be the big beneficiary – particularly for Unity’s 2D users, but also 3D (though I expected Unreal to benefit the most there just because of developer familiarity).

      They have been at the right place at the right time.

      Never heard of MonoGame but from what I see, it’s much less noob-friendly, no editor etc. Looks too different

        MonoGame/XNA used to be more relevant 10 years ago, but not so much any more (funnily enough, in large part because Unity ate their lunch).

        MonoGame has the advantage of being used to ship a number of indie hits, though. Supergiant still uses an in-house fork of it for their games, if I’m not mistaken.

        MonoGame is basically a continuation of Microsoft’s XNA which was their engine for the Xbox 360 era. It supports the full Visual Studio (not “Code”) so that’s the environment you get.

  Except Unreal already had the same kind of pricing structure that Unity is trying to move towards, that’s why Unity thought they could get away with it.
