That said, writing these guides has reminded me how easy Bakin makes things—importing VRoid models, creating motions, and equipping gear like we covered this time.
Compared to Unity or Unreal Engine it’s undeniably less capable in terms of features, but as a game engine that lets you create games without deep technical knowledge, it’s genuinely impressive.

Honestly, given how much it can do, I’d love to see it get more popular. My only worry is that if it stays niche, development might stall.
I’ll continue covering how to build games in Bakin going forward—check back if you’re interested.
