i would like to ask the guys at koei what languages they program in when making their awsome games, it is a cereer i intend to persue after my further education is completed and i want to know what i need to learn to stand any chance in the industry, just to conferm im interested in becoming a games programmer and want to know what languages apply to my career

wow, I'm not sure on that ^^ Not to technically minded myself. Maybe C++?

[callumparker666]

thanks for the reply and i assumed it was most likely c++ but wast completely sure,
is there any chance you could confirm this with the guys in the proggramming dept. ?
it would make a hell of a difference to me to actualy know what i need to focus on.

Hi Callum, so I cant confirm that. They don't like to talk about things like that. I guess they dont want to reveal much of their tricks. But I imagine C++ and Assembler?

I can't say for KOEI specifically obviously but Leady is right, C++ is one of ( if not the ) most common programming languages within the industry. C# is also a pretty good one to have, thanks in part to it's use in Microsoft's XNA.

I say this since it's commonly requested in job adverts from companies, and I'm pretty sure it's also taught as part of the curriculum on at least two of the UK's skillset accredited game's courses ( one of them for certain ).

So don't give up hope if you're looking to learn it, it should be worth it in the end!
