Anyone recommend a language to write a FPS!

[jd_guy17]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if you guys could suggest a language to make a FPS game. I would want it to have 3D graphics and lots of other advanced features. I am struggling to find a good language to make it in and that is why I want your help! 

 

Thanks!

try portuguese...better one

[Katsu-K1L]

on a serious note try unity engine for FPS games and i think it works C# Language i Don't know but check it out it will help you.

OP, good luck on doing all of that by yourself.

Unity with C# for ease of use and rapid development capability and being very indie friendly.

Thanks for your sensible response

Happy to help ~ if you need any other information regarding game development just ask me.

There's also LWJGL if you like Java.

The engine should be coded in something fast like Rust with a scripting language as an interactivity layer. For scripting I recommend Python or Lua.

On a more serious note, I would also advise that you use Unity, it's not too hard to get used to and started with, and it'll make your life a lot easier. Making a decent game (FPS or else) is incredibly difficult, it takes a lot of time and skills in a couple of fields (ex: programming, audio, 3D, story (if any), networking, etc). Using something like Unity will help, but you'll still need to dedicate a ton of time if you want your game to be barely playable and remotely successful.

 

Good luck though, I wish you the best with this project.

Unity 3D and C# or Javascript.

[pbenologa]

They usually use C++ if 'm not mistaken. Especially UE4.

It depends on what you're using, I'm pretty sure that most engines (ex; Unity) are coded in C++ but when you write code for it it's either in C# or JS. It's a personnal choice, there are many many pros to using C++ when making a professional game and most game studios use that, but there are also other languages that are great for that and can suit your needs.

Like others said, find an engine and use that to learn on.  Unity is very beginner friendly and has a lot of tutorials out there.  

 

Here's an example link:  http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/start-to-finish-fps-tutorial-10-videos-all-project-files-included.190506/

unity is C# or javascript

[Mojo-Jojo]

I'd recommend an object-oriented C language such as c++ or c#. There's not much abstraction so it'll probably be fastest. Maybe Java, since the language itself isn't bad. But the JRE's suck. 

[Unknown_Guy]

Are you really sure it's javascript? My quick googling says it UnityScript http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/UnityScript_versus_JavaScript

My recent discovery was that it really comes to to what you really need and will need in a near future.

First off, you can do your own engine of course, its better, its efficient, it really listens for your orders , its your baby

BUT

 

Two ways you can go.  

Personally, i found that the language is no longer a barier. i can code in what language i must if the engine really offers me a whole package of what i will eventually need.
 

I found that out when i was looking for engine for my game.   I knew that i dont wan't to code my own,
and also i knew it will be FPS (Rather MOBA like MMO with FPS view, with necromancy fights and sword mastery , and hunters and wilderness and big maps )therefore i settled down for Unity.

Unity is great for every kind of programmer.  It offers really organized intuitive UI for coding / visual coding .

BUT, What my mind was really tangled about was , how come the UDK has so much better graphics and Unity does not (even after applying certain shaders and lighting).

 

Because, you see, i knew that UDK has some really great features almost ready for FPS . 

And then i tried 30 days trial of Unity PRO , and saw it.    All Image effects, camera effeects, color correction, blooms, advanced shadows, are in PRO package.

 

And its a game changer.

On the other hand, if you feel you game will need something more than that, you can buy Unreal engine 4 i heard its perfect, and you get the whole source code , so you can implement your stuff or alter the existing ones.

It really just depends on what which engine has to offer. 

I settled with Unity because  i has whole networking done in a week, and i am spending stuff just animating character, and creating all sort of spells, and the rpg game logic behind it.  Don't need to think about programming.  Its also the game is in c# .  Okay, the spells are in databases, and XML, Server is in java, and skill tree logic is in java, on server.

Dont write game based on language.

Write a game based on whatever will offer you things that you will help you implement your vision .




Good luck and have fun.
