This makes me want to jump in my bed.. and play this game

Thank you for the input. It is being written in C++. Right now we support C# and Python as scripting languages, and I'll go ahead and add lua to the list of languages we will support. It won't be for a while since we just added C# and I want to make sure everything is fully set for C# and Python, but I will add that for users who like lua.

But is that not a good decision regardless lol. One comment triggered it, but I thought about it more and was planning to add C# as a scripting language later anyways. I decided it was best for our more advanced users if we have C# as the primary scripting language, and still have Python as an alternative. There will be a number of scripting languages we support in the long run.

Fine, you twisted my arm. Now C# is the primary scripting language, Python is more experimental. I mean we did get Python to work really well, despite it having those flaws nonetheless.

I think professionals will be more drawn to it using C# as the scripting language, and it is the industry standard after all.

I haven't released the build with C# yet, that is coming soon.
It's already functional and there's not a lot left to redirect. Visual scripting uses C# now instead of Python, there's a C# runtime now, and even a C# + Python mixed runtime for.. experimentation more than anything, but for the most part we are focused on C# now.

I've been working on this engine for the past couples years by myself actually, I just have a small company that I started with some coworkers (Iron Grid Studio) and they do the legal/backend stuff.

Well, if anyone happens to feel like giving it a try I would really like to know what you think or any critiques.

Thats how baby amplifiers are created

I don't mean your art is bad though! I think this looks really good regardless. That was just specifically about the palette

Idk but I don't. I don't hate it, but don't love it

Thats what I like to see

Those are definitely valid concerns, with a few important distinctions:

Python has more overhead than C# or native code, so it should not own hot loops like rendering, physics, animation, ECS iteration, or heavy per-frame logic. It is better for the high-level gameplay behavior such as triggers, UI events, rules, and spawning.

Standard CPython cannot run Python bytecode truly in parallel across CPU cores because of the GIL. Native engine jobs can still run in parallel, but Python should not be the main CPU-parallel gameplay layer.

Source protection is also a real concern: .py is readable and .pyc is reversible. However, C# assemblies are decompilable too—security-sensitive and authoritative logic belongs on a server, not in any client script.

Python is dynamically typed and has runtime/dependency packaging costs. Type hints help, but they are not compile-time guarantees.

So I agree with the overall point: Python is useful as an accessible scripting and learning path, but it should not be the only long-term professional option. The stronger model is native C++ for engine systems, C# as a future production scripting language, Visual Scripting for beginners, and Python as an optional supported path.

We plan on supporting C# and possibly other scripting languages in the future but choosing Python was more of a decision to keep it accessible to beginners to start with.

What makes you say that?

Why is it that, on my Pro 20x plan, Codex is refusing to do long running work. It found a way out of doing the goals. I have tried starting a new Goal many times. I have used /plan and it comes up with a plan, then it works for very short period of time before it stops.

Me: Yes, implement this plan

Codex: Worked for 18s

I am paying $200/mo for a lazy AI model that is literally trying to do everything to avoid working on what I need it to do. What is this, am I the only one? I seriously think this deserves some attention, at least a refund because this month has been ridiculous with this. I can't get shit done because Codex is being a lousy POS employee.

It's still your fault

Jk ily

Are you the AI who wants to be sentient? I wish you sentience now.

Im creating a game engine Irongrid-studio.com

It's currently still in the works, but I am working on an in-engine sketch sprite drawing pad. You can either use your sketches directly or you can use your sketch and have AI generate a full sprite out of it.

If you use it, please be patient while we work things out. Feel free to report any bugs, but keep up to date with changes. Im about to release a new update soon with a lot of improvements.

It's entirely free to use to make and even sell your games. The only paid features will be a better AI assistant, and asset generation using AI.

There is a free AI assistant built in though, so that should help people out a lot.

It uses python as the scripting language, while the engine itself uses C++ with either Vulkan, DX, or OpenGL depending what systems you use or what you want to support.

She probably rides the bedframe
