They have their own engine called Spacetime Engine. I'm not sure which coding language was used to write it.
No thanks, i prefer mochaQuote:

Back in my day....... I was taught pascal and cobol programming languages T.T
My lecturer was a die hard pascal fanboy. His famous words where... C++ will never catch on!
Really curious waiting for Gary, Vroom or someone to answer lol :P Keep this thread alive till they see it
C++/ Open GL.
Originally built by Asommers and Futumsh, who were principle engineers on Star Wars: Galaxies before Spacetime.
Futumsh's tech history goes all the way back to Ultima Online!
just had to add there is lots of history in this stuidios!!! sts is more then i expected! google knows everything yes gerry even what you ate last night!

I might be a lil older hehehe.Quote:

Due to learning how to program, I've actually become methodical :)
Then i'm new to this all lol. I follow a IT education. We're currently learning the basics of making our own database. We need learn how we're gonna make one on our own in a period of 20 weeks.
I'm only in my 30's but I had to learn Assembly and C/C++ where I went to school for Game Dev years and years ago, I started as a programmer before I focused on pretty colors and boss mechanics :)Quote:

I learned how to code C/C++ in a month and a half and made my first game in four months. It was an awesome program, but not for everyone. Not a lot of time for partying, and many sleepless nights studying and working on projects. I almost failed AI!Quote:

We made it from scratch in about 5 months from the ground up. The Engine guy now works at Microsoft on XBOX, another went to Microsoft for tool ssupport, one went on to work on Silent Hill over in CA before leaving the industry to work in health care, another went to work on SWTOR, and I now work at Spacetime after working on games like The Incredible Hulk, Call of Duty (360/PS3 port), Thor (Wii/3DS), Inertia (on iOS/Android) and some other titles along the way. Been at Spacetime almost 5 years now, and working in Game Dev for almost 10 :)
Wow that sounds extremely inspiring, I am certainly looking forward to having accomplishments like this.Quote:

It's an internal engine called the "Spacetime Engine", so you won't find any information about it anywhere I'm afraid :)Quote:

It wasn't until 3-4 years later when America Online became a big thing that everyone started using the Internet.
After graduation I ended up getting into music production, and today I own a music production company.
As for computer programming, I started when I was 8 years old. My first computer was a Commodore Vic-20 and I got a subscription to Run Magazine, which was a magazine devoted to Basic programming. Later in high school I took classes in Basic and Pascal, and then in college learned Assumbly language, Fortran, Cobol and C++, and on my own I learned Visual Basic. I still use Visual Basic today, as it is wonderful for data manipulation of large amounts of music metadata.
Wow this game looks like a lot a fun and you have great people over there at STS!Quote:
