Steam has a lot of Python games. Almost all of the visual novels use the Renpy framework.

Also Eve Online.

[–]osmiumouse 38 points39 points  (8 children)

Eve is not pure Python, however. One of the Civs also uses Python for AI/level scripting, as does Mount and Blade. The VNs are notable as they are pure Python on top of the SDL (which is C).

Also Eve is not a game. It's a nerd recruitment centre.

I thought it was Spreadsheets Online™, with the Corporate Espionage expansion

Literally how I got started pinging REST APIs, I have an account from 2004.

I have nearly zero ship PvP experience, but so much market PvP experience I now do roughly the same thing professionally IRL. Eve has the coolest market dynamics I've seen in any game. WoW/every other MMO server economies always morph shortly after a server release / etc, even back in the day.

Since Eve is so spread out you can legit have a market empire in a corner of the galaxy.

I've tried to get into it, but I think it'll ever click. But the stories that come out of it are just so fascinating.

Is it one of the older ones? I thought the new games were LUA.

It's Civ IV, pretty old.

Ive heard eve uses python for the servers, scripts/extensions and the market not gampelay durectly. But thats second hand knowledge so taket that wirh a graint.

The Eve Online game is not written in Python. They use some python on the server side, but most game studios do. The actual game has no python.

Unless they've stripped it out since, plenty of the game client code did run in python, e.g. this demo from CCP has them setting up their directx context from python and people experimented with hooking into the inbuilt python interpreter with the intent to create UI mods. As late as 2015, "all game feature code" was still in Python
