CRYENGINE VS UnrealEngine

False. See for yourself. They openly state that you can "Use CRYENGINE for free. 5% royalty applies when you ship your project. Your first $5K annual revenue per project is royalty-free.".

yeah, I think you're right there. I know the feeling of being on the other side of the problem, so I can relate with the crytek guys. they need to get their shit together, sure, but they are human beings and these problems are really hard. I mean, head over to github, there's a version of the cryengine there for you to read and comprehend if you like. check out the collision detection :)

I'd wager that somewhere around 99% of games for sale on Steam from large shops to small indie games are either created with Unity, Unreal Engine, or CryEngine (Amazon's Lumberyard is a close relative of CryEngine).

I have very high hopes for Godot. Besides, if you're the sole developer of a side project, you don't want to use what the AAA titles use. Have you seen the length of the credits on those things? If that's the path you want to go down, then you might as well give the cryengine a go, get yourself a license to some mocap software, etc lol

Unreal Engine, Valve Source Engine, Crytec, and Unity are the big ones. I suspect that’s what people mean when they say this. There are a few others, but they are either used in less popular games, or they are proprietary engines that are not publicly available like the Snowdrop Engine. I know some PC games would ship with the editor too, although it’s been a long time since I’ve done any mod work, so I don’t know if that’s still the case.

The proprietary options of Unity, GameMaker Studio 2, Unreal Engine, and CRYENGINE.

Visual Studio has a related annoying habit when navigating the call stack (the caller's scope is considered closed if the callee is syntactically its tail) so I wonder whether this workaround would be useful for it as well.

See also this comment in the Unreal Engine code about putting a nop in before as well: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/26677ca1b3c97...

    // Q: Why is there a __nop() before __debugbreak()?

> you can still use it with smart pointers provided by any other library

Is the point of having a kitchen-sink library like this not that you dont have to reach for a 3rdparty library for things that you need 'all the time'?

Certainly, not everyone needs it.

...but, not everyone needs threads either. Not everyone needs an http server; and yet, if you have an application framework that provides them, when you do need them, it saves you reaching for yet-another-dependency.

Was that no the point from the beginning?

unique_ptr is a fundamental primitive for many, as you see from some other frameworks (1), and implementation is not always either a) trivial, or b) as simple as 'just use std::unique_ptr'.

This does seem like a very opinionated decision with reasonably unclear justification.

It is not publicly available. If you click on this link you get a 404 page: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine You actually have to go and subscribe, agree to their terms, and then you get to view the source code. It happens to be free, but it is by no means "public".

Like I said before, you have the fixed code here (commit: 23937975).

Before you can access the repository at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine, you must: be an Unreal Engine subscriber. have a GitHub account. have associated your GitHub account with your Unreal Engine account as described on the UE4 on GitHub page.

What you need to do is follow this link and diff my file with Epic's file. You can grab settings that I have from mine and plop them into a custom one for yours. Just be mindful if you're developing in VR for what settings you bring over.

Originally it was going to be NetworkPrediction (need to be signed into a github account with Unreal Engine access for that link to work), but since David Ratti left Epic that died and they stopped working on it. (I didn't know it was dead, that was the CMC replacement I was referring to)
