- satysin 9y agoIt is interesting to see no games were developed using C, C++ or Java and outside of JS for web games it is all C# and Unity. I don't really follow game dev, is C# popular in the industry then? I know a couple of popular indie games were developed using C# and Unity but has it made its way into the bigger studios?
- cgijoe 9y agoAs I understand it, Unity is crazy gargantuan huge, and C# basically came along for the ride. Many extremely popular recent games were made in Unity, including Cuphead, Kerbal Space Program, Cities Skylines, Firewatch, Monument Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Superhot, and more.
- GuiA 9y agoYeah, I remember playing around with Unity when their main selling point was being a game engine for the Mac. It’s insane how they went from niche novelty to utterly dominating an industry.
- fnayr 9y agoSuper Mario Run, Pokemon GO, and Hearthstone are also made with Unity.
- scrollaway 9y agoOn top of this, Unity is fantastic for prototyping, making it much better suited for game jams than most other engines.
- redka 9y agoBoth "Overall Winner" and "Best innovation" were written in Godot with GDScript
- Thaxll 9y agoMajor "AAA" games are C++, C# is used because of Unity but behind the scene it's C++. Also Unity is popular in mobile but not that much in console games.
- vvanders 9y agoYup, pretty much any modern game is going to have a scripting/rapid prototype layer at the top. Unity's just happens to be C#.
- RyanRies 9y agoI'm guessing that the time-crunch of being a "game jam" drove most of the participant's decisions to use Unity and C#.
