It feels great to see how far the project has come. From a simple concept to a working experience, every milestone has been meaningful. At the same time, progress brings new perspective, and it now feels right to re-evaluate the tools behind it.
Unity made it easy to begin and experiment quickly, but its ongoing costs, add up. That money could be better used for marketing and reaching new audiences. Because of this, the plan is to gradually shift development to Unreal Engine, which offers similar power without subscription fees.
Starting in Unity was the right choice to learn and build momentum. Moving to Unreal will help make the work more sustainable and allow more resources to go toward growing the company. Sometimes taking a step back is what makes long-term progress possible.
