I have NVIDIA Quadro P620 (2GB VRAM), 16GB RAM, Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2123 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
I want to develop a game that is low end however it seems like the engine is specifically optimized for high-end games.
Is it possible to develop optimally for devices with my or even lower specs ?
How would I go about it ? I obviously need to disable some plugins, but will that be enough ?
If that’s your development PC, then I would stay far away from Unreal engine. Unity scales much more gracefully to the low-end. Unreal Engine is generally for current-gen consoles, high-end PCs, and any system where interoperability and/or visual polish matter (IE car UX systems).
If Unreal’s the only thing you have to work with, then honestly I can’t give better advice than to just optimize the heck out of everything, don’t use any high-end features, and get a programmer who understands low-spec programming and can squeeze the most out of everything.
Unfortunately, no, I don’t think that computer will run the Unreal Editor very well, if at all.
I would recommend the Godot engine instead. It’s pretty great for anyone getting started, and you get all the source code (just like with Unreal Engine) which is something Unity doesn’t give you.
Check out a Godot tutorial or two on YouTube and see if maybe that’s the engine for you!
