Unreal Engine

The Unreal Engine is a great video game software that is able to be used in level and game design.

The interface for the engine is similar to the Unity engine in terms of functionality and interface. One main difference is that the time between testing the game and the menus is almost seamless. The work flows is more complex than Unity, which creates a small learning curve for new users. Other than that, and an annoying little built in readable tutorial, there really aren't any major issues. Had the tutorial been a video format, it would've made the program the best on the market.

A main feature in the engine is that there are built in blueprints that you can use straight from the beginning of launching the program. This lets you be able to quickly learn and prototype your game even faster. The rendering capabilities of the program are leagues ahead of Unity's rendering capabilities.

Overall it is more powerful than the Unity engine in terms of speed, rendering, and graphic capabilities.Since it launched the price used to be a subscription fee of $19. Just this year Unreal released the engine for free, with the exception of a 5% royalty fee of publishing games. This makes it very competative in the market now giving an alternative for the Unity Software.
