I’d recommend to at least seriously look at UE4 C++ before jumping to conclusions. It’s heavily customized with lots of macros and special types. No manual memory management either. It uses a lot of modern language features (btw there *are *for each loops in C++ 11, see Range-Based For Loops in C++11 - Cprogramming.com).

Yes you will have to maintain header files and manage includes, sure, but wether that is worth betting on a third party solution with a slightly questionable future that even in the first installment doesn’t support the current UE4 version will be up to you.

I’m all for options, so don’t misunderstand me. Just saying to carefully weigh the pros and cons. For a scripting alternative to blueprints I personally don’t find C# nearly as appealing as the upcoming Skookum Script, a very lean language specialized in creating game logic.

Of course - I’m weighing up Unreal for future options, prob more than a year down the line, and it remained an option before hand. With the introduction of it’s got a whole lot more interesting though. re: them being a version behind, it’s early days. Will see where it is when it gets to that point and fingers crossed its grown. Just glad to see someone’s working toward it.
