Needing to be versed in production, story telling, audio production, mesh modeling, color theory, motion capture and/or animation, drawing, character development, texturing and materials, and maybe game logic via programming, oh and probably video production to either cinematics or a Kickstarter campaign - it seems gratuitous to try and have someone believe that one engine over another will really lighten their load all that much. This entire endeavor is one of incredible learning that doesn't stop with the technical tools, better get ready to tackle a lot more than you ever dreamed of.

Thanks for the details. Like I said, I'm thinking more along the lines of doing this as a hobby. I'm not trying to release anything to Kickstarter or sell anything for profit. That being said, I do want to create something good, so I'll defintely learn some audio production, mesh modeling, texturing, game logic.

What's the difference between Unity 5 and Unity 4, and why is Unity in general easier than UE4?
