Hi, I'm thinking of a game with SimCity-mobile-like graphics where you can move around by touch to see and interact with your city and environment. The game will be much shorter because it will have a timer that forces you to build things, and it will be a contest among the users to develop as much as possible before the time runs out.

EDIT: Flor clarity, I'm leaning towards Unity now, and I'm envisioning my game to look a lot like 'Islanders' on Steam. Not knowing anything about Unity, my question is can this type of game be rendered and constructed using a game engine like Unity by importing assets from Blender?

Given the forum you posted in, how exactly is this a suggestion for the gamedev.net site?

As for your question, my first guess is that any engine that speaks the programming language you want to use, and produces an executable for mobile is fine.

Unity seems to have good mobile support. I like Unreal, but it is very bloated and maybe not the best choice for mobile.

Godot would seem a good choice for a simple 2D game like this.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I plan to import assets from Blender. Do you think this is a good way to start?

I've been using Blender quite a bit, but I don't know any coding and most definitely not anything about Unity.

My game will look a lot like 'Islanders' when finished. I'm asking my question because I don't know how my game could look like or if Unity is capable of doing what I want it to do. Do you think I can accomplish this in Unity?

I heard about Unreal's blueprints, but I'm also hearing that there's a very steep learning curve for Unreal and that it's better to start off with C# and Unity. Would you agree?
