Evaluating Game Engines

Posted by:

Hello all – this is a special post available to the public!

Last Dream and Last Dream: World Unknown were both created using the RPG Maker VX engine, but we believe that the time has come to cut the cord and move onto a new development engine.

We started this transition several years ago when we started developing unique graphic art. There have been significant improvements to RPG Maker MV such as support for mobile, etc.; however, it remains less performant than we now require.

Therefore, we are currently evaluating potential engines to continue the development of Last Dream II. The engines under evaluation are:

1) Godot

2) Unity

3) EasyRPG

4) Full Custom Engine

The above are in no particular order. The good news is that in the long run this should actually speed up the development of Last Dream II. The bulk of the work done so far as been in developing unique art, establishing our own look and feel for menus and interfaces, and laying out the storyline.

We will update you when we have made a decision!
