Lua is traditionally the scripting language of choice for game development. It was absolutely ubiquitous in the industry before the days of Unreal/Unity. Famously, all of the WoW UI was Lua.
- pansa2 2y agoYeah, this presentation by Roberto Ierusalimschy (one of Lua's three authors) lists over 50 games that use Lua (slide #9): https://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/talks/curryon2017.pdf https://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/talks/curryon2017.pdf
- fullstop 2y agoI am surprised that he did not include all of the Souls games, as they are hugely popular. Oddly enough, I learned that they used Lua by reading the license information which came with the game. I don't remember if it was on the back of the box or in an paper insert, but it surprised me to see it included for some reason.
