Meanwhile i (i am into gamedev and have worked with UE) increasingly see people get disillusioned by Blueprints. Visual languages are fine as long as they are limited to high level concepts, but UB not only is not that (there is even a type cast node!) but instead of being there in addition to Unreal Script, it actually replaced it, forcing many people who didn't want to bother with C++ (especially Unreal's flavor of C++) to use blueprints.Įpic supposedly learned from this and UE5 at some point will have a new scripting language, but AFAIK so far it has been vaporware. It was hyped when it first came out and for some time (years) it was well received - until people had to deal with the spaghetti mess others made in blueprints. The latter bit basically perfectly describes Unreal Blueprints :-P. It's stringing the same concepts together in the same way, but slowly and tediously with a mouse. I think one of the reasons it doesn't become more popular is because most visual programming is just a more cumbersome and slow way of programming. It has, in some niches like Unreal Blueprints.
