Which engine to choose to start in 2D game dev?

Question

Unity

Good day everyone! I want to dive into the river of game development and not hit my head on a stone :) There are plans to create a 2D game. I have experience in developing ios applications in swift. I choose the engine for a comfortable start. What can you advise in 2018 for cross-platform development? While looking towards Corona sdk.

Answer 1

To start in game development, it is better to take a friendlier engine, the most accessible of the advanced ones is Unity, Unreal is in second place. Both have a million tutorials, both support all platforms. Unreal has a slightly worse build size for mobile phones, but they solve this problem. I advise you to look at the official websites of both engines for tutorials on 2D games and decide what is closer to you.

Answer 2

Unity - Only Unity)))
