Discussion / New Engine for successor?
« on: November 24, 2014, 01:40:31 pm »
Hello!
As you all already know, UFO: AI utilizes technology that is at least decade-and-a-half-old. This results in lesser functionality, cross-platformability and user-attractability that this game has all the potential to have.
So how about defining a long term (maybe even as long as the game's current age *shudders*) plan on migrating to a more modern engine?
Potential candidates:
Off the top of my head.
So maybe in another decade we'll see UFO: AI II shine in all its glory

Potential candidates:
- Unity Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_%28game_engine%29) - a pretty popular engine among the indie developers of this genre. List of games that use this engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unity_Engine_games;
- Godot Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godot_%28game_engine%29) - Unity-like engine that has the benefit of being open-source;
- OGRE Engine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGRE) - another open-source engine, less used than Unity Engine but still having adequate indie titles to back it up.
Off the top of my head.
