Spent months fighting Unity's C# just to make a simple vampire survivors clone 😅
Switched to Unreal Engine 5 + Blueprints and built my UI system in 2 days vs weeks in Unity.
Sometimes the "wrong" engine choice is actually right for YOU as a developer 🎮

Pivot to Unreal Engine for future projects
After months of struggling with Unity's C# requirements, I made the switch to Unreal Engine 5. Instead of spending weeks learning programming concepts and debugging templates, Unreal's opinionated structure and Blueprint visual scripting let me build a complete UI system in just 2 days. Here's why matching your engine to your skillset matters more than following industry trends.

For the CG BOSS Blog looks like wildgste struggles not unique maybe its due to the saturation in online games #gamedev #gaming #dreamhaven
Ex-Blizzard devs at Dreamhaven lost $11.7M on $1.4M sales. Wildgate (130K units) & Sunderfolk (62K) got good reviews but flopped.
Harsh reality: even legendary devs struggle in today's oversaturated, F2P-dominated market 🎮

The Dreamhaven Struggle: When Good Games Don’t Sell
Dreamhaven Games, founded by ex-Blizzard president Mike Morhaime, recently launched Wildgate—a multiplayer shooter that captures classic Blizzard magic and received positive reviews from legendary developers. So why did it sell only 130,000 units, forcing a desperate price cut and leaving the company scrambling for survival funding? The answer reveals a harsh truth about today's gaming landscape that should terrify every developer.

Project Sun and Moon that I am creating part time @weiqing.bsky.social #gamedev
Character screen selection for the indie game Project Sun and Moon. Working part time. I am not sure if this art style of semi painterly characters would work before it becomes 8bit Pixels. Portraits and Characters are temp for now. #indiegame #unity #roguelite
