hi..
My team and i are planning a greater game. But we´ve no clue wich Engine we want to use.
There´s UDK, Unity, A7, Irrlicht...
Second problem: I can write Lite-C and i´m learning C# now for a Year. Soo.. i´ll need to learn C++ for UDK... Learning C#, lite-C AND C++ .. no!
I suggested A7, because i´ll buy the Pro Edition soon, wich will give me more options and possibilities.. But my friends hate A7, because they´re thinking A7 gives bad graphics, performance and bad Usertools (MED, GED, WED).. And everytime i say, that they can model with 3s Studio Max, C4D..ect, they block everything away...
What should i do.. learning C++ just because they want UDK (slowly I catch at UDK to hate).. or what?
plz help me *cry*

UnrealScript features a built-in compiler and integrated preprocessor. Java and C++ programmers can jump right in to scripting. they are just trying to say it's smiliar to c++ and java and it's object oriented. It looks more like java though.

also, if they think getting good graphics with a7 will be hard, they may think twice before going with UDK. It's not so hard to have good graphics on A7. Plus graphics are not the point that makes indie titles stand out, it's gameplay,story,and new expirements that big companies can't risk to try to.

i can´t understand their dislike of A7.. I like A7. Easy to use and i´m really better in Scripting with Lite-C, than with C# or C++
But i think they don´t understand my point - i´ve no head for learning a third language... In their head.. scripting is the fastest job.. They don´t think of the time i need to learn a new language and the UDK Syntaxes...
i´ve really no clue of what i should do... Y_Y

Try to get them to tell you exactly what they don't like about A7. Have them write it down onto a list, if you have to. Then come up with arguments that will defeat their assumptions, and hopefully they should listen to you. Once you've got them listening, explain to them how you can get results right away with A7 since you already understand it, whereas using another engine would slow the project down significantly. Convince them to try A7, if only for a little bit, and if they like it, then you can stick with it for the rest of the development cycle.
If they won't agree with you, then all you can do is either switch to another engine or leave the team.
