Probably depends how much of the game is implemented via "scripting", some games just put scripting at the edges (UI, data definition) while others do everything up from the game engine via "scripting" e.g. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ive-created-an-infinite-voxel-world-similar-to-minecraft/57218 https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ive-created-an-infinite-vo...

And that's a post from 2016. These days you can probably create entire games via visual scripting (https://unity.com/features/unity-visual-scripting https://unity.com/features/unity-visual-scripting) as long as they're not too bespoke or demanding.
- deaddodo 3y agoThe example you use seems to be specifically a "because I can" project. We can't be sure (because the code isn't available, obviously), but I would highly doubt there are any AA or AAA games built entirely in the scripting engine. However, many 4X games get pretty close (Paradox series, Civilization, the Endless games, HoM&M, AoW, etc).
- intelVISA 3y agoThe limiting factor is not truly perf for visual scripting but everything around its ecosystem (diffing, architecture, spaghetti)
