How or why is everyone almost instantly adding this unity/godot style UI to their game engines? I recall 10 years ago people were making engines but nobody was copying unity and thus nobody had this same UI layout in their engines. Now it's like all the fucking engines are the same. Are they copying the design from some known engine and calling it their own or what the fuck is happening?

That looks a lot more like Unreal Engine 5's UI than Unity's.

>>105751889
Unreal, godot, unity, it all looks the same. That's my point. Similar layout.

>asset browser
>scene browser
>details panels
These are literal requirements. What are you complaining about? Please tell me what EACTLY what game engines should be doing differently doing differently with their UI

>>105751742 (OP)
Dis nigga complaining about dark mode lmao

>>105751933
Haven't you noticed the sudden surge of these game engines? Each one has this almost identical UI layout. I suspect they copy the code for the UI from some engine, or maybe ChatGPT helps them and this is the result.

>>105751951
And the problem is?

>>105751933
You don't need more

>>105751742 (OP)
>>105751924
Because UI is supposed to be functional and productive, retard. It's not supposed to be unique and quirky, in fact the more standardized it is the better.
>>105751951
>ChatGPT
Unreal and Unity have had the same UI layout since well before 2018, fucking idiot.

>>105753202
No, but there is a sudden surge in identical game engine UI's. It was never like this before, it's like every other faggot makes a game engine with this exact layout.

>>105753215
Because
>it works
>people are already used to it

>>105751967
Game Maker before yoyogames was peak. I recall loading some shady OpenGL/DirectX DLL to do 3D with it, even though back then it was 100% a 2D engine.

>>105753222
If I were to make a game engine, I'd try to come up with something new, instead of reinventing the wheel in every domain.

>>105753242
redpill me on your unique game engine idea anon

>>105753254
I'm not making a game engine, I explicitly stated that I'm not.

>>105753242
>bro check out my new spanner it does the exact same thing as any other spanner but it's got a spiral grip because it's so unique
It's a tool retard nobody wants it to be unique, they want it to work without getting in the way.

>>105753242
Then make your own engine nigger, game engine are tools no one is interested in Game Engine UI design as long it gets the job done.

>>105753348
>no one is interested in Game Engine UI design
Really? I doubt that. The design of the UI is related to the internal workings of the engine, it reflects what's inside, to some degree. The fact that all these UI's have the same patterns reflect that all the engines are internally similar, which is boring. What's the point, other than learning? Why market such an engine as something new and revolutionary, with its own website and everything, if it's nothing but the same old?

Just like calculators and hundreds of others electronic devices
>What's the point, other than learning?
Making money using said tool and living life
>Why market
Because people need money
>such an engine as something new and revolutionary
They want money
>if it's nothing but the same old?
Yes software development is industry full of hacks, 90% of software is superfluous, 99% of people on this industry could be killed and nothing really important would break, blame the faggots who created the myth that a programmer is 6 figures high society job instead of basement dweller.

>>105753242
ESL? Game Engine UIs are a tried and true concept. You are literally asking them to reinvent the wheel.

>>105753202
Game UI has a big effect on gameplay and immersion we've been regressing fir 20 years now shut the fuck up Ranjeet

>>105753529
Bad bot.

what the fuck are you talking about jesse
that is bona fide reinventing the wheel

also op still has not answered this anon about what the problem with the layout in the op image is >>105751933

what is inefficient or bad or weird or excessive about the op ui
what is your idea of how it should be improved or what it lacks

>>105753535
People like you are the reason games have been becoming worse and worse. You are the enemy

>>105753529
GameUI =/= Engine UI.
An UI must be intuitive and the more similar they look, the easier it is for developers to change to different engines depending on their purpose.
In fact, any production based software should work this way. Propietary based software is unintuitive on purpose because it creates a learning curve that entices users to learn through courses or degrees from institutions that pay millions of dollars a year to be allowed to use their software for teaching purposes.

>>105753644
You are less than a person

>>105753655
>said the tard who argues like a woman

>>105753661
You are a cog in the wheel of the machinery that has turned games into what they are today. You are the enemy of everyone who enjoys playing video games or is passionate about creating them.

>>105751742 (OP)
Because they're not making games, they're making game engines.

If they were actually making games, their tools would look a lot different and a lot more useful.

>>105753692
Again, stupid fuck, you are sharing game UIs, not UIs dedicated to building them.
You've clearly have never worked with production software your entire life so you don't understand the difference and how important it is to have uniformity with production based software.

>>105753719
It's just a bot, don't respond to it.

>>105753719
You are making entertainment and by extension the world a little worse with everything you do.
