XPost from SN: Why is Subnautica using Unity, and not the Spark Engine?

Hugh

Hello everyone!

While not strictly relevant to the NS2 forum, I have seen this question being asked here as well: "Why is Subnautica using Unity, and not the Spark Engine."

You can find an answer to that question right here in this SN thread: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/133601/why-is-subnautica-using-unity-and-not-the-spark-engine?

Should have just posted this here instead.

Not really that shocking, right tool for the right job. As much as it's a laugh to know you're not using Spark when you put so much effort into it. You really, CAN'T use spark, it's just not the right engine for Subnautica. Would be pretty pissed off if you tried to.

Quake 3 engine is the best engine. All games should be made on the Quake 3 engine. Forever.

Laugh all you want, we're still using Spark, and have some big plans for it, just not for Subnautica.

Oh I expect you will use it again for sure. It's just that after so much spotlight on the Spark engine it was kind of odd/amusing that you didn't choose to use it for your next game. (Which again, WAS THE RIGHT DECISION).

I haz shadow badge. May I be privy to such plans no matter how subject to change they might be?

As I said in the other thread, the only thing it could be is Half-life 3 right? Guys? .... hello?

Start the conspiracy theories about Valve accidentally losing ALL their progress on Source 2.0/HL3 because the intern spilled coffee on the singular computer at Valve. Of course this lead to them asking UWE to use the Spark engine for HL3.

UWE = 3 letters
NS2 = 3 letters
Next number after 2 = 3
Number of people working on Spark full time = 3
Zen of Sudoku = 3 words
Current NS2 Build number = 261 = 2+6+1 = 9 = divisible by 3
Number of agrees this post will get = 3

It all makes so much sense now.

@sebastianoswell I want to awsome, but that will ruin the 3 awsomes

Blarney_Stone

3 awesomes, 3 agrees. No one else may do anything to that post now. Or I will find you.

Benson

3 disagrees for 3 sets of 3? This is how valve magic works right? Will this summon the Gaben?

Spark is being actively worked on every day.

(from: why SN and not Spark Engine - first post)

is there a little chance to get information about the current spark engine: plans, progress ?

Who cares what engine it uses, I look forward to seeing new and interesting games from a company that's very, very open with you guys.

I believe this is what they call divine intervention.

Sewlek

@sebastianoswell 3 flags are missing

Ghosthree3

That's true, but now you broke the pattern @Sewlek (somehow) get your flag AFTER the disagree.

DC_Darkling
