Bachelor thesis survey: UE5 developer experience (non-technical, ~5 min, anonymous)

Hi everyone,

I’m conducting research for my bachelor’s thesis: “Comparative analysis of Unity and Unreal Engine for video game development.”

In this part, I’m focusing on non-technical aspects from a developer perspective (ease of use, learning curve, documentation quality, developer support, licensing/cost perception, etc.). If you are currently using UE5 (any experience level), I’d really appreciate your participation.

UE5 survey (Google Forms, ~5 minutes, anonymous): Evaluating non-technical aspects of Unreal Engine for game development

Optional comment (qualitative feedback)

If you’d like, please reply in this thread with:

  1. Your biggest pain point in UE5;

  2. Your favorite thing about UE5.

    Please note: forum replies are public and not anonymous. If you prefer to stay anonymous, you can use the open-ended question in the survey instead. To protect your privacy, please avoid sharing personal or company-identifying details.

Notes

  • The survey is anonymous (no emails collected).

  • This is non-commercial academic research; results will be reported only in aggregate form.

  • I’m happy to share a short summary of findings in this thread once I collect a larger sample.

If you know other UE5 developers who could contribute, feel free to share this post with them.

Thank you for your time,
Ali Khudaimuratov
