Josh Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Now that you have had some time to try on the Ultra name, I am curious what everyone thinks. Which engine has the best name? Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
The Mover Cell Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Leadwerks has a cooler spelling Ultra isn't a pain to properly pronounce 1 1 Quote hi there
AnthonyPython Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Ultra because people can spell it and say it correctly, because everyone says and spells Leadwerks differently due to spell check, and dialects. Quote OS: Windows 10 Pro CPU: i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz GPU: NVIDIA 2060 Super - 8 GB RAM: 32 GB
Rocko Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Leadwerks is a very cool name for an engine. I don't understand why you renamed it to 'ULTRA ENGINE.' It's a very bad name. It sounds like, for many people, 'This product is a scam and a mockery.' It's my opinion. 1 1 Quote

MarKli Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I don't really care about the name of a game engine. But what I think about the names. 1. I think Leadwerks is a unique name. You can find videos about the game engine on YouTube. It has left a positive and negative reputation with people, mostly negative because it looked outdated, I think. 2. The name of Ultra Engine is very high because the standard is Unity or Unreal Engine. Therefore, many people who have used other game engines before may have high expectations, which may lead to negative reviews afterwards. But if you take the price into account, the Ultra game engine is exactly what I think is great, that the developer works closely with the community and also listens to hobby developers. I don't think there is any other game engine where I have seen that. 3. Maybe a completely new name would be a good idea. Quote

Thirsty Panther Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Just watched the latest workshop video on the naming of UltraEngine. I get Josh's concern in that new things are not taken seriously in modern times. Movies are remakes, music is bland and books lack originality. UltraEngine itself is not a bad name. It does, however, sound very similar to the two major Game Engines on the market . Its much better than than Turbo engine which was also considered. Leadwerks does have a history which gives it credibility. People have heard it before and know of it pedigree. The other big advantage of Leadwerks is that Steam rates it highly. I think in was in one of the weekend workshop videos where Josh explained even thou UltrEngine had 96% approval rating Leadwerks was still preferred over it. I like the name suggested in the comments of the weekend video. Leadwerks Ultra. A new improved imagining of the the trusted Leadwerks Engine. Reworked from the ground up to be faster in every respect. Your games can have more characters, more animations more objects without the slow down. A royalty free license which means all the money you make stays with you (handy if you develop the next Minecraft). Develop VR games without the motion sickness. etc. Quote

Mortiss Coffin Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I like Leadwerks name better. I've always known it by that name since 2011 or 2012 & it just has a good ring to it. Whereas Ultra Engine has the Transformer sound to it. Plus, it's got the same initials as Unreal & Unity, some of the newer devs might get it mixed up when using the initials. Also, Leadwerks has a long history with it where you can find numerous tutorials on it. Ultra doesn't quite have that luxury. Leadwerks 5 would be more suitable, imho. Seeing we left off with Leadwerks 4. 1 Quote
trashcanuseful Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Just Leadwerks , now naming in films and games with remasters or remakes are made leaving the name of the original source 1 Quote My job is to make you see useful things in trash.
