I have a multiplayer FPS type game idea… What are the options for bringing it to reality with Unity? Why is the platform better for me or for the game? Basically, why should I choose Unity? Save the sales pitches please, Im looking to skip to treating the idea like its the next “thing”, because it is. I appreciate you time
in, b4 ideas are worthless
You do not, though. If you did, you’d have asked it in the Unity forums…
As per always, if you have a great idea, invest and execute it. If you’re not sure which engine to choose, you’re not ready to develop it.
Good for you Everynon. Its good to see we are still rewarding the wrong people so there are more heads to cut. China is knocking bro, good teamwork though lmfao
BTW ideas don’t fall with nations and Unity got the first post as you already know
As soon as someone has a good idea but refuses to invest in it, they have no idea.
Go make the game. Show everybody where the money is. Wait for no one. Don’t let anyone slow you down. You can do it. 
multiplayer FPS […] Save the sales pitches please
No.
- replication
- C++
- GAS
- animation system
- chaos
- behaviour trees
- cross platform
Note that UE is an FPS engine, it’s more difficult to make non-FPS games. However, without knowing what features you require, it’s impossible to provide a definitive answer.
You will be fun to work with!
I know enough to know I shouldn’t be throwing code all over the place, but its a good game. Id chose unreal just because of the ownership and other factors so I wouldnt judge a book by its ignorance of the current state. That’s why I have guys like you 
Id like to know what your experience is…
FPS is Easy Mode since there’s Lyra:
By Easy Mode I mean it’s either going to be really hard or impossible - all depends on your skillset, dedication, resources, people you work with and the features you need. Since this is a new idea, you’re likely to run into unforeseen snags - that’s what access to source code is for.
If you have a ton of experience but are coming from another engine / field:

It’s frustratingly fun, tbh. The best advice I can give:
- make a rough list of must-have features / systems (asymmetrical 4 player co-op vs cramming 256 people in an open world?)
- make a new thread in the proper place (off-topic is for weird ppl only):
- list the features and ask for advice / experience with handling tools that tackle them
- avoid antagonising and belittling people from the get-go; we have fragile egos
You should be able to get an answer more serious than mine.
Good luck!
No worries I know you were checking the waters and I hope you understand I needed to show you I was serious. I seriously appreciate the input. I come from a career that is quite similar to game dev, and I have played around to know its possible, but even gaming seems political, and one politician spoils the plan. I absolutely appreciate when you saying its frustratingly fun. I’ve been modeling/programming in a similar world for 15+ years professionally and I’ve kept in touch with the similarities and differences in the two worlds, so I appreciate the struggle and the input. Not looking to sign people up for something that isn’t worth it so I wouldn’t do it without certain levels of support from the community and maybe even a larger audience.
I need to get a rig running unreal again which may not be for a little while. If you dont mind, I may look you up after its more serious. Im sure Ill want your opinion.
Unity is a good choice for a multiplayer FPS due to the large number of out-of-the-box solutions and libraries for the networking part, such as Photon or Mirror. But depending on your vision, Unreal Engine can also be an option, especially if you want to put a strong emphasis on graphics. By the way, if you are looking for interesting ideas for monetization or UX inspiration, I can recommend you to check out https://casinoly-at1.com/ - a modern online casino with a cool approach to design and bonus systems, you can pick up some interesting solutions for your game.
Start with one of these and you’re half way done:
