My wild guess - C++ for game engine development.

gamutree, any language in which you are comfortable in would be a good start. Sometimes you may want to scope out the game which you are set out to make for e.g does it require an extensive graphics functionality? does it require you to use a certain data structure (OOP for eg)?

Once you have done that, then see if the language you are comfortable in (I guess python), meets those requirements. If not, then just post here and we will be more than happy to help you with selecting the right language.

As long as you let us play the game 😁

Yes u'll very much get a copy of my game.Right now I can say that we will deal with databases.Game is largely based on Football Manager series.We have zeroed down on python but I'm still considering c++ and lua.

gamutree,
I guess C++ will help v/s Python. I would not consider Lua because I seriously doubt its capability to play around with objects and databases.

well I'm going with python because it's a devil that i don't know and one of my friends wants python coz of it's less typing and better docs over lua though still is it a wise choice or am I being stupid

Gamutree, if your learning of python language is more important, then go for it. If getting the game work is, then re-think the decision 😀

C++ would also be an interesting implementation. But now even I am curious to know your approach for a python implementation. If possible do share some initial documents with us 😀

I saw many games developed in C++. it should be good for game development.
