What if I want to make an RPG game with a text dialog that you can scroll down? And according to my research, 50% of mobile games are made with Unity? Maybe some for the engine, some for pure coding? Maybe that's their trick?

I feel like making your own engine is really only necessary for two reasons:

  • You want to save money by not licensing someone else's engine

  • You wanna flex by doing something new or differently

    • You want to make a technically simple game, and want it actually to be able to run on a potato instead of just looking like it should, and you already have the skills or aren't afraid to take the time to learn.
