What Looks Better? A Successful Game Or One Written From Scratch?

Ovicior · 2016-01-29T22:14:23

I'm wondering what would look better to colleges: A game that's quite successful, and is written in Unity, or a game written with something like Monogame, requiring more focus on lower level stuff? I'd like to build up a decent portfolio by the time college rolls around in 3 years. I'd rather not have a bunch of Unity games that sold well, if they're not really interested in that sort of stuff. Which would colleges like more?

The ability to complete your project is important regardless of if you used unity or used butterflies.

It shows you can stick at a project even when bored without being distracted by the latest pretties and gadgets :)
