Kade Engine VS Psych Engine - Which is better?

This video does not aprove any form of harassment or related things. I'm only trying to sum up pros and cons from both engines and get to a conclusion on what both engines are good at. This video is divided by segments in which I compare them and that's pretty much it.

I personally adore both engines. I've been using Kade Engine pretty much since it was released, and Psych Engine looks so promising. I really hope to see it grow more, since I really respect their developers. Hope y'all enjoy and that kind of stuff. It's been rough weeks (thanks to school) but should be over soon.

I should be releasing some mods if you are still interested tho lmao.

[@MlopsFunny]

For me, Kade was mostly about making the game more confortable, and opening up to a Osu-esque audience. And psych was about expanding the cartoon goofiness fnf is known for, and probably showing what one could expect from the full-ass release. Also, a reminder that psych's lead coder also worked on a multiplayer engine, so multiplayer COULD be added to psych, idk.

[@TheAmazingPyro99]

I hope shadow mario decides to import the multiplayer mod to psych

[@MlopsFunny]

@flarewastaken BRUH FLARE- FNI GANG!!

[@banatg]

thats kind of why i like psych. i prefer games like osu to fnf, so if i want to play a more serious rhythm game, i would. psych is far more "fnf" to me. if i want to play fnf, i want an fnf-like experience, not something akin to osu

[@MlopsFunny]

@@banatg yeah, thats just what I get from it. Kade is developing a original rythm game tho so maybe he's more confortable in that field instead.

[@Faiding]

then again, kade is making a full on multiplayer rhythm game so if one day he returns to the fnf scene for a bit it could alsobe added

[@CharlesRBLX]

Id Personally like to pick psych engine, because you dont have to use the source code to make a mod, you can just put all the assets you need, into the mod folder, and you can make the mod easily and quickly

[@GoldenMineYT]

[@ElGatoSushi3D]

Well it’s true, and. That helps a lot to the new people but, people like me which code like someone insane I personally pick one or other if I want to make it fast or not, btw I still use the KE 1.5 cuz I still coding stuff, I work le like to go whit the new KE or psych but I can’t :(

[@connor2325]

Not even coding with psych engine, but it is just more fun and clean to play on.

[@i-win]

Kade's current antimash system is completely based on hit windows. There is a reason why "Bads" or lower judgements take your health or even break your combo - that counters mashing as mashing makes hits very inaccurate. On the other hand, psych uses a manual antimash system that tries to detect if you are mashing, which often leads to input drops. Right now, bad note timings won't take your health or break your combo - which suggests the other system is in play. Psych's newest version now implements keyboard callbacks, which was implemented in KE 1.5, meaning it's input system should be comparable to Kade's now, but the manual anti-mash system is still there.

[@Smetty]

[@Thatkid_143]

Psych Engine has built-in custom events, almost everything is soft-coded, and has a better input system than Kade Engine. On the other hand, Kade Engine is MUCH more customizable with circle arrows, and offset, so both of them have goods and bads. But then again, Psych Engine is in its beta phase, so we can all come together and say that both are good in their own ways. EDIT: Sorry, I meant to say kade engine has a better input system than psych engine lol...

[@TLEvilMel]

(Opinion btw) pysch engines inputs are pretty *ok* however the way it tackles is actually pretty worse in most note heavy scenarios

[@SkyanUltra]

Psych Engine so far is already better in my opinion. Not only is the in-game mod support already great, allowing for you to make a full blown mod with unique mechanics and new note types, all while being much simpler to understand for a newbie to coding and only requiring basic knowledge of lua coding. (and from teasers we've gotten from Shadow Mario in the Basement Club discord, shits gonna get even better with an in-game mod manager allowing you to manage your mods better and to essentially create whole ass modpacks) but it also provides more to the base game, along with making it easier to add events during the song without required changes to the code of the game. The only issue currently is the lack of an option for a more detailed accuracy system, and the anti-mash could be improved. Beyond that, it's already a great engine as is. Kade Engine has better input in terms of competitive play. Mods like the Camellia mod strive off of Kade BECAUSE it's focused around other rhythm games which are less forgiving and overall more difficult than FNF is. It even provides some modifiers like allowing you to play any chart with any scroll speed and even change the overall speed of a song. However, past that, it's currently horribly optimized in it's more recent updates and doesn't provide nearly as much as Psych does for modders. While at the end of the day its an engine for a game where you play as a short ass blue haired bastard who learned english from a fax machine so it doesn't matter much. But if you had to choose, Psych is definitely the way to go for casual play and generally for modding as well.

[@waluigifan64]

one thing you forgot to mention that I will say here, Psych Engine lags way less on low-end computers than Kade Engine does.

[@damarioYT]

Fun fact: I looked at the code for the desync bug. The audio timer is behind the chart timer that's why this happens.

[@hiddensafiire]

Just combine both of them and we should have a pretty good engine indeed, grabbing both things that make them good and putting it into one engine.

[@Moonlight_Catalyst]

With Psych engine, coding and adding custom weeks and stuff is WAY easier then kade engine. Plus, you can just add all if not most of kade engines features like arrow textures etc. You can legit do pretty much anything if it can be coded into the game. I find Psych is way better. (It's MY opinion, not anyone else's so don't come hating on me for my opinion. I'm speaking for myself. Not you guys)

[@WheelTMA]

i actually agree

[@theconcealedcow5686]

honestly i would like to see both psych and kade combine in some sort of way since theyre both really good engines and its hard to pick just one to stay on

[@arisoppo]

I couldn't ever get source code to work so now that psych engine came in I was able to make my first ever mod and now greater ones to come! Thank you Psych Engine!

[@CirnouliK]

In my personal opinion? Maybe it's just the lack of feature bloat like Kade, but I think Psych is much better overall. On my low-end PC, trying to play anything in Kade just... doesn't work well. But I have little to no issues when I play a mod with Psych. So I fully support Psych over Kade.

[@Wilmer-.]

Btw fnf og and psych engine charting allows you to have precise note placement, just hold shift.

[@Gojilynx]

kade engine's better for difficult and past songs, i.e. best example, vs camellia, putting any of the harder songs in psych the anti spam will actually destroy you if youre less accurate, which can stunt progress and make the player less motivated, but, psych is a lot more casual and what id say is the better engine for friday night funkin, as its not about hard or difficult songs, but goofy scenarios and characters and a fun artstyle and animation, which, psych pairs with well, its basically a dev friendly version of regular friday night funkin with ghost tapping

[@Gojilynx]

@Piteous and id say its right for that, the anti spam in KE does destroy you for just fat fingering other notes at the same time, i just wish psych engine had Kade Engine's note registration, or KE had Psych Engines accessibility and features, theres just something about playing hard charts (mainly camellia charts ive noticed) in kade engine rather than psych that seem to appeal more and feel more clean, i just prefer the anti cheat in that imo, i think the judgements are also pretty deserved, though SHIT being a miss is pretty annoying, other than that though psych engine is perfectly fitted for FNF style songs, not insane shit like camellia, so it does its job, and kade engine lives up to what its said to be, a competitive build for fnf

[@PeppermintOSC]

then just use kade engine 1.2. that is the version before anti spam came in.

[@Gojilynx]

@@PeppermintOSC i think its a good thing

[@CCShakeCatYT]

In KADE, the sprites are in spritesheets, making it a lot easier to keep track of what you have done, whereas stuff like the HUD, the MAIN MENU, and more are split on Psych, so win on Kade for me!

[@Gameboyer-J1qf7A1sp9R]

In all honesty, Psych Engine has many things that Kade doesn't, i.e. it is very thorough in terms of mod development. Psych has thought of everything, from creating new weeks to almost perfectly placing notes in a chart by looking at the blue soundwaves. Every error you make, it is often easy to spot and fix the mistakes. It is also technically user friendly (if you are patient and follow instructions from the engine or online). Another thing I noticed was that you can add events and custom animations, which I thought it was pretty cool. That being said, and sorry to all of the Kade people, if you want to save yourself from major grief, Psych Engine is the better way to go instead.

[@LUNIX-STUDIOS]

I say psych engine is the best engine can be used because it is: 1. Smooth on low end pc's 2. Complete Settings 3. With Amazing Achievements 4. Soft Coded (and more) While Kade Engine is also better so I think two of it are better engines for fnf moddings.

[@cantmakeacreativename2072]

Now, speaking as a person who doesn’t know how to code, I prefer pysch engine due to obvious reasons that everyone has stated already. However, in terms of which one is better? I’d say that if one actually knew how to code, and was attempting to make a big mod and are willing to put in the large amount of time for it, then Kade is likely better. Again, I wouldn’t know since I don’t code, but I’m assuming that’s the case.

[@Imaginehavingausernamelol]

In my opinion, they each are better for their own things. Kade Engine has better inputs and is more customizable for the person playing the mod, while Psych Engine lags less and is more customizable for the person making the mod. Also, Psych is easier to mod if you have no coding experience and has a better chart editor, however it is mostly limited to what the engine provides. Kade Engine, on the other hand, is harder to mod and requires a bit of coding, however, due to this, Kade Engine's potential is as high as the language it's written in, as YOU make and add all the features, instead of having to use pre-made ones. So overall, Psych is easier to mod and is better for newbies, while Kade is better for the person playing the mod and has more potential, but is harder to mod and lags more (then again, since you can add or change anything, it is possible to reduce this lag yourself).

[@OyasumiGalaxy]

[@fakeplayer3308]

The kade engine is how a lot mods emerged

[@UltraOrangeNinja]

This is my opinion. 1. Kade Engine is mostly coding and stuff for modding, targeting experinced coders. Psych Engine is just giving you the easy way out. Kade actually gives you plenty of options. It's better for you to use Kade so you can do more than what Psych does. 2. The effects on Kade feel just fine, you can even add some other effects (I think), Psych Engine's effects are just either weird or unnoticable. One effect you have to watch over and over for an achievement. The only thing you should be your eyes on is the arrows. It's like driving a car: the scenery is good, but you have to focus on where your driving to. Kade Engine is just fine. Psych Engine is also just ok. 3. Kade Engine is straight-forward. Do/Make a song with a blue haired thing against someone else. Psych Engine gives you more to do, it adds achievements, the stuff in the settings. It just gives you more options. However, it kinda distracts you from doing other things. I mean, I am still trying to beat the "watch thw henchmen die for 100 times" one. 4. These two engines are the most popular because someof their differences to the main game while others have other differences but don't get as much attention. Try the other ones, maybe! Im even making my own in the future. (Why is this a reason again) Thats my opinion, but I don't like FNF, so your reading from a disliker's perspective.

I prefer Psych for multiple reasons: 1. Modding is easier now, and has a good amount of flexibility, and I can’t really script but there are still things I can do without LUA scripting 2. Middle scroll, helps with my readability 3. Charting is cooler, I can add events without additional scripting, just take a script from another mod (since I can’t script) and then I can apply those custom events and notes into my chart (an example is a chart for School I recreated with Accelerant bullet notes and Philly Glow event)

Honestly you dont even need source code for psych engine. The following things ill list is makeable in the official build (or beta): -custom events -custom notetypes -even custom diffuculties! -custom modchart (ex. Opponent floating, opponent attack/draining health, rotating game and hud, and moving or setting angle or setting opacity for the notes (i think you can do more!)) -ez mp4 extension for cutscenes -easily add stages (ill explain why down below \/\/\/\/) And it has a WAY BETTER charting than kade cuz: -metophorne (idk how to spell) -visible waveforms -preset or coded events to use -the ability to play/test your chart at any time of the song. -preset/coded custom notetypes(alt animation, hurt note, no animation etc) And also it has a really nice informative wiki that has tutorials for begginers(like adding a character) or for advanced people(like lua script API:tweens and timers) ill also list some amazing mods that were made in psych engine -hypnos lullaby (a legendary mod) by bbpanzu -vs stickman by JzBoy -the shaggy mod 2.5 or 3.0 by srperez -vs sans a beautiful day outside by also srperez and mcchomk -the holiday mod part I and II by also bbpanzu -vs aflac remastered (by aflac duh) -vs the chosen one idk whos the creator :/ IMPORTANT NOTE: I actually never tried kade but from hearing some stuff psych is for begginer coders and easier to code, kade is for advanced shit like that stupid hex insane modchart that took like TWO FUCKING WEEKS to beat. Also i despise kades input system im not playing etterna ok? Thank you for ur time :)

[@unfairdev8197]

From my experience with Kade Engine, it is super laggy for me and is unplayable when using debug mode. I feel the kade engine Lua modcharting is sometimes too complicated and can be very confusing, I’d honestly prefer using source code for modcharting than the Lua gibberish. The circle note skin I will NEVER use because it is almost impossible to read the chart when the strums are moved around, it’s a literal guessing game when the strums are moved. I also like the customization of kade engine, but I think maybe there’s too many settings to the point where it could overwhelm the user at first glance. I feel the options need to be split into to categories, simple and advanced. Psych Engine is actually playable on my computer and not stupidly laggy like Kade Engine. I can actually debug the game without it crashing. The Lua scripting is very easy to use once you learn the source code. The functions are named in a way that I can understand what they do without having to look at wiki. The options menu is very user-friendly, which I think Kade Engine fails to achieve. That doesn’t mean Psych Engine doesn’t have its flaws, let me list a few in 0.2.5h: 1. Tweens and setProperty crash the game on death, which is really annoying 2. No individual tween function at the moment 3. Teh null difficulty bug What’s good about both engines? Well, they both fix fnf’s garbage input and accuracy calculator, they both are very easy to mod once you learn the source code (unless you are using kade engine’s Lua modcharting then it is hell,) and both are a good base for other mod creators. My favorite out of the two engine is Psych Engine because it is simple, easy to use for intermediate programmers, has epic song effects (Philly has amazing visual effects,) has cleaner code, and is great for programmers like me. If you want an engine that has lots of features, an more advanced song charter, and a great input system, then Kade Engine is for you. Also don’t send hate to the contributors and/or creators of both engines, I know how you people are (not saying that you do.) And don’t you dare put a nerd meme reply below this.

At last! This worthy comparison often we waited!

[@Renetiger000]

If you want to make something simple, go for Kade. If you want to make some advanced mod with bunch of features, etc. Go for Psych

[@MailMainbutnot]

im p sure it's the other way around, but not exclusively

[@SuperMario64FanYT]

What I like about psych engine is that you can import kade engine sprites but you need to make a new .json flie if its a chracter sprite

[@johferson09]

Now we need Psych Engine and V-Slice update comparison

nobody is gonna talk how the pendulum almost syncs with the background music at 6:44

Kade allows button spam on keys but psych only does if the health gain is 5x and health loose 0.5

[@phrefth]

I mostly prefer psych engine because cade engine is just i mean when it comes up to like overchartted songs its just gonna be working because of the animation.

[@xeloilriver9899]

I honestly like psych engine because of the background added to the weeks and we get to see the credits and enable middle scroll and how the enemies health bar color change and the splash tapping and the color details for blammed and like how we change our keybinds and awards I don't have a computer to play

Kade’s charting is so hard to use. Once 1.6 rolled about, the chart editor became absolutely garbage. Using it efficiently is like eating a mango in zero gravity tied to a mine. 1.8 fixed most issues, but still, it’s so off.
