@MBoffin losing 25% market share in... what was it, three months? Yeah...

The really interesting statistic will be in 2 years when the current projects that were too far into development had the choice to change as well.

@MBoffin I’d be interesting to know what that elusive ”Everything else” consists of.

Did all those people start rolling their own engines? Or is there one or two other options (e.g. Game maker, Defold, O3DE) that the (latest) Unity Exodus fled to?

@jordgubben It really was a mixed bag of literally everything else. Even GameMaker was like 1.4%.

@MBoffin “everything else”!! That’s awesome! :)

@MBoffin I think #Unity3D decided that they didn't like having customers.

@MBoffin I am positively surprised. Web engines?

@MBoffin @mrsbeanbag Huh! I believe this, but I’m curious where the data came from. Would love to look at other game jam data if it’s available.
Show threadDylan BennettJan 30, 2024
@gavinanderegg @mrsbeanbag The data came from Global Game Jam. The compilation of the data into a graph came from me.

@MBoffin Do you know if there's a link to the data source? I'd love to play around with it, but wasn't able to find anything. I may just be missing it. Thanks!

@MBoffin Ah! Gotcha. I thought there was raw data somewhere. Still, this is great. Thanks!

@MBoffin Is there a breakdown on “Everything Else”? Curious to see what there is.

Also, any idea on the sudden rise?

@MBoffin what's in the everything else bucket?
Show threadEdmundo Ruiz GhanemJan 30, 2024
@MBoffin Unity is only popular for now because it was the first to support all the platforms. We are starting to see more diverse options that can do this.
Show threadTom WorJan 30, 2024
@MBoffin Interesting, yes. But without a drill down of the "Everything else" category, it also feels somewhat inconclusive. That category is where the real juice hides.
