Who does g/ think of Unity DOTS?
Data Oritented Tech Stack
Noah Taylor
Lucas Perry
fuck off
Kayden Wright
The idea is good, but it is not ready yet for medium-tier devs
Eli Cruz
>MORE DOTS, MORE DOTS

Bloated castlevania engine for nocoders. If you have no plans for the next 5 years then you might want to spend them making the next Hollow Knight clone.
Landon Johnson
Unity has a reputation for being bloated and inefficient
DOTS is their attempt to change that by throwing some new technology at the problem, I don't know if Unity is bloated or inefficient but ECS is a stupid gimmick
Chase Campbell
>Unity has a reputation for being bloated
true
>and inefficient
not totally true
>DOTS is their attempt to change that by throwing some new technology at the problem
Wrong.
>ECS is a stupid gimmick
Wrong. It is a different paradigm to build games, putting performance first.
Robert Moore
Why do you think they invested in DOTS? Because people think Unity isn't performant. So they thought they could make it look more attractive with this new system which is supposedly faster
Hudson Campbell
Just because the default system is not optimized for performance, does not mean that it has bad performance. 2 different things.
Oliver Reyes
>ECS
that's too retarded. many highly successful games were built with ECS, if not all of them.
Jaxon Harris
>wtf why would a game engine come up with a more performance optimized way to develop games on it?? it can only mean it's not performant!!
Liam Long
>many highly successful games were built with ECS, if not all of them.
hilariously wrong. ECS is only used by hobby coders
Lucas Hughes
it's less performant than unreal simply because you can't turn off the GC in C#, but it sure as fuck more performant than any script kiddie engine out there you don't write native C++ code for.
Aaron Gomez
I said "because people think"
I don't know how well Unity ACTUALLY performs but I'm pretty sure most bad running Unity games run badly because the developer doesn't know how to use it well
Only a small amount of games use ECS dumbass
Kayden Fisher
No Unreal game uses ECS and at this point 90% of jap games and 50% of AAA games make use of it.
Jaxon Collins
made up tech gibberish with the intent of indoctrinating you into the product space
Joshua Long
>Only a small amount of games use ECS dumbass
unreal engine uses data oriented entity management internally. You just don't have any access to it
Zachary Martin
is unity actually considered a bloated mess? my largest game on there was 3gb and averaged 50 fps on a toaster laptop.
is it mostly bloated for AAA level games? mines a 3d game, but maybe only as graphically intensive as an n64 or maybe dreamcast game, and the only time i'd see slowdowns was during development in the editor, the exported project has no fps dips or anything like that.
Christian Hernandez
>unreal engine uses data oriented entity management internally
That's not ECS
Isaiah Baker
>is unity actually considered a bloated mess?
Yes but that's very subjective and if your game works fine it's not something you should worry about
Anthony Anderson
Unity is actually faster than unreal even with C# because it's more simple engine.
Elijah Ramirez
tbf that's my experience too, dyson sphere program works blazing fast until your conveyor belt empire gets insanely big. never experienced a GC pause in that game either. just assume the GC must limit performance at some point because it's something an unreal game doesn't have to deal with
