My Wishlist for UE5

IMHO C# script language would be a good move for Unreal to persuade Unity users, which means, more users. And more users means a bigger community with more activity in the forums, more ppl producing and consuming assets in the store, etc…

That’s a whishfull thinking that I do not share. As soon they realize they have to learn not only an entire new API but also the “unreal way” of doing things, most of them will quickly return to what they know best.

Do I like C++? Yes.
Do I like scripting in C++? Not really.
Would I prefer something else more focused on game logic? Hell yeah.

Visual Studio should only be required for people working on the engine or plugins.
That’s why I totally agree with @EntrpriseCustomr:

… Overall, I just hope its something dependable, whatever UE5 scripting looks like. A fully integrated environment like UDK had before… A real replacement to C++ for game devs who want to focus on MAKING GAMES (being application developers), not having to become platform coders just to expose code to BP.

Overall C++ is great for creating engines, but its hardly the right language to get us to the metaverse. In general, I’d prefer something more futuristic in outlook, so its actually designed for game dev specifically. But hey, Blueprints are still too limited anyway. So lets hope they get first-class status this time around too.
