I have decided.

it finally happened. I am switching to Unity. Why ? Well although my trust in 3DGS was high it does not deliver.
Promises made did not become true. It’s hell for me to learn a new engine and its programming language but it gives far more options to create games on different platforms.
I will visit this place to see what’s new but from this day I will focus on learning Unity.
What I learned so far is that physics and movement are fairly easy to use in Unity but the layouts and working interface of it all is a struggle for me 😊

It’s a shame though 3DGS could be a real contender if they went along with new times instead of staying behind.


Deep down i hope 3dgs will rise again someday so for now it's goodbye
thanks for giving me years of fun with gamecreation.

Hey man!

I might follow you in near future! Sad to say, but it's a wise decision. I wish you best of luck with unity and your future projects man!

My best wishes and regards!

good luck realspawn! thanks for being awesome in the 3dgs community!

I'll be around some times must say i find C# harder the the lite_C I was used to.

sad to hear you go!

yeah, gamestudio development was abandoned a while ago. But also Unity is not a magical tool. I mean, some things area easier to do with gamestudio and others are easier on Unity. I think we should choose the engine depending of what kind of game are you aiming for and the features the engine currently has.
If you are targetting only windows platform and you aren't looking for the best AAA graphics then Gamestudio is quite enough for more simple or cartoon graphics. If you want to target more platforms such as mobile or consoles and looking for complex graphics then you should go with Unity (or even Unreal).
In my case I've playing around some time with Unity but as right now I don't take too much time on game dev and I'm working on a game with simple graphics on free time gamestudio does the job perfectly fine.

The problem i have is i can easily pull fun little games up with 3dgs but the sad thing is they only work on windows platforms. So as user your stuck to one single platform. I find Unity hard in using although it has its plusses it seems scripts 2 lines in 3dgs are like 5 lines in Unity that are completely different Ah well we will see what time brings.

Unity is actually super easy. The thing is that most users here are not familiar with the concept of object oriented programming. Once you get the gist of it, Unity is a piece of cake. C# is also easy to handle and reduces your error potential to near zero. Just stick with some tutorials and also do some trial&error. It took me ~1 month to understand the whole ecosystem. But once you're in, you'll never want to leave it, because it's way to comfortable.

yeah once you get used to OOP it gets more fluid. However I don't agree with you about never wanting to leave it, sometimes I got tired of the "super cool" and "clean" UI and miss the old-school UI gamestudio has

The whole every thing needs a script added then connecting i find hell.
how come a simple wait is so much lines of script in C# so far I hate the script language I am ruined by 3DGSor spoiled:)

Well I actually meant the scripting language. It's not as easy as with 3DGS to have Memory Leaks or invalid Pointer errors with C#. The compiler tells you on the fly what you're doing wrong.
3DGS has its charm of course, I can't deny that. I'd also love to continue with 3DGS if it were up to date.
