Treffer: Understanding Visual Scripting in Videogames Development ; Entendiendo la programación visual en el desarrollo de videojuegos

SWORD ; [EN] This article synthesizes the experience in visual programming acquired during the last years by the research group IDECA (research and development of audiovisual content) in the development of audiovisual projects and videogames. To achieve this goal, we dive into the process of creating a video game through the analysis of two of the main development environments based on visual programming Blender and Unreal Engine. By a detailed study of the methodology and process used on Blender logic bricks and the Unreal Engine nodular system of Blueprints, we will define how visual scripting has become the reference in the development of videogames. To achieve this goal, we will analyze and compare the similarities and differences between both frameworks, in order to understand which framewok is better to guarantee success.
