Why is it that Lua gets so much attention is games development?
Is there something special about Lua that makes it good for writing games? I have no opinion on it since I've never done any real game development, and the only thing close to it I've ever done was back during the old days of Halo CE where I made all kinds of shitty hacks for custom weapons or modified weapons and vehicles. But nowa days I pretty much only run closed source games on consoles and only run open source games on my PC. I pay a lot of attention to how open source games are developed and it seems like Lua just gets all kinds of love from programmers. I know that a few games use Lua as the interface language for their API, and Minetest is the big one as they use Lua for their modding and plugin API.
For 2D games the LÖVE2D framework has been around forever and I recently heard about (on freepo.st) a new VR game development library that's also in Lua called LÖVR and it looks really cool. I am always happy to hear about open source advancements in the VR space but once again it's Lua making the headlines.
So game devs really love Lua! But why? Is there something special about how Lua is made that makes it good for visual media? I'm happy for Lua and the Lua programmers, but why Lua over something else? What does Lua do to earn its special place in the hearts of game devs?

In addition to the especially distinct reveal trailer, Square Enix additionally launched an respectable internet site that carries in-depth appears at FFXVI's new world and characters to get you started on grasp the backstory. What's top notch about this entry, in particular, is that it is being developed through Creative Business Unit III--which is the not-so-flashy name for the division at the back of the gorgeous MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. It's promising given that Naoki Yoshida is main production on FFXVI--he led the group in the back of the rebirth of FFXIV and continues to direct the MMO, which continues getting better and is viewed as top-tier in its storytelling.

Director Hiroshi Takai said, in a joint announcement with Yoshida shortly after the game's reveal, "It may nonetheless be some time earlier than we can get it into your hands. However, I promise the wait will be well worth it." This might also lead you to consider that a 2021 release is off the table, although word has it that the sport has been in improvement for quite a few years now.

Right now, FFXVI is marked as a PS5 console exclusive. It's the only platform indicated on the respectable website. It won't be a cross-generation game either, so PS4 proprietors will have to cross to the new-generation gadget in order to play it.

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #games, #gamevideo, #gamingblogs, #gamingnews, and #videogames.
On July 9, Black Skylands, a sandbox RPG in which you control an airship, will be available in Early Access.
Dark Skylands was a wonderful shock from IGN's Summer of Gaming exhibit. It's a sandbox sim where you assemble and alter a carrier and use it to investigate a huge open world, form skybases, and create new weapons. It helps me a piece to remember games like Terraria, just with a hierarchical view and in any event 200% more sky privateers.
The new interactivity trailer gives a pleasant outline. The thought, it appears, is that you utilize an aircraft to find and investigate diverse gliding islands brimming with frightful beasts and afterward utilize a munititions stockpile of firearms to explode them so you can steal the island's assets and use them to grow your own sky base. There's even a catching snare you can use to haul adversaries out from the shadows sky to drop them into the pit beneath.
Dark Skylands previously had a public playtest, yet it's currently made a beeline for Steam Early Access on July 9.
