No, Unreal doesn't turn your game into a brown poorly performant mess. That's a silly myth.
I'm using Unreal to build my upcoming game 'The Razorform.' It has many colors and runs great on Steam Deck and my potato laptop! 💪🎮
As someone who'd worked in gamedev a LONG time, let me explain the conversation that the devs (probably) had when writing this character:
"Let's add some character development."
"Cool yea, that's what smart writers do!"
"Yea! Maybe one of the marines you save is an ODST and, check this out, according to ChatGPT they don't like Spartans, so let's have them hate the Master Chief at the start but then the player EARNS their respect!!"
"OMG that's so great!! That's character development. But wait, how do we also add diversity!"
"Ok check this out! Let's make the ODST a woman!"
"OMG that's perfect!"
"But what if the Halo fans don't like this?"
"Who cares, they'll buy whatever slop we sell them."
"Yay! More money for us and our amazing ideas!"
"What a great day of work. Oh no, it's 4:30pm, I need to be at the No Kings protest!"
"Ok have fun! See you tomorrow!"
@thiccdotexe@revenant_MMXX NOOO, the ODSTs hate the Chief!! It's in the books!!!! They would never trade weapons with the Master CHIEFF!!! You didn't read the books!!!! The boooooks!!!
