What do you think of this now free C++ / C# "photorealistic" game engine? It seems slightly better than the classic QSP engine. It may receive a lot of fanfare, but will we see it in a porn game any time soon?

If someone build and pay a real devteam for that kind of scope, maybe, but even UE4 didn't really change anything for porn games either. There is few sandboxes iirc but there are all quite like empty shells, you really need a dedicated and competent team imo.

This looks cool but it looks like an architectural engine which means it will suck at humans. I could be wrong. But this will also require more dev time and expertise than even UE4 and ue4 is a DEEP rabbithole

Well the benefit of Unity and UE4 is that you can get & install plugins that extend the engine with ready-to-use features, like game shells etc.

This Unigine has none of that so you will need to invent the wheel from the bottom.

We all know how it works out with many indie projects, like Police 1013 which even uses Unreal 4 AND has quite a bit of funding, so you can see what kind of budget this engine will require. Nobody is going to make a porn game with an engine that has no benefit.

There is a good reason why GameMaker, Ren'Py and Unity are the leading tools. Godot is on the way but also still requires too much coding.

Ren'Py is even pretty much obsolete, being dependent on an interpreter (Python) that is now out of support. It really should be updated to at least Python 3.8 which will give the interpreter another 4 years of support.
