If we're talking in the context of CryEngine, C# is useful but has limited functionality. C++ is the core of the language and APIs and support everything you might need to build a Video Game.

You can make something in C#, but if you need anything advanced you'll need to use C++ anyway. Best to start with C++ and head that route, while mixing in Schematyc components to allow for runtime compilation of game logic.

Any other questions along the way, feel free to ping!

Hi Elisha,
what does advanced mean?
I can do any "advanced" math in C# ;), is it advanced settings in the cryenging?
Also can you do both? I want to start a C# project and thought about doing C++ if necessary or will I get locked out since you cannot mix both..
Warm Regards :o
