Hello folks! i just wanted to inform you that i have created a new language and am licensing it under the GPL (dual license later). currently it performs well in point and click and trivia type of games.
the intended use is NOT insane stuff like crysis and halo. more for interactive novels and simple things.
the interpreter is under 1000 lines an is written in VB.net. actually i am using sharpdevelop instead but it is the same language just open source. anyway i would appreciate any feedback, feature requests, questions, comments,etc. here's the link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/exsescript/

I'd advise changing the license, since GPL is a viral license and both interpreted and source/object code would be licensed under the GPL whether the developer wants to or not, which would make lots of people not consider the language even if it's a very good language.

Ditto. I actually stopped reading the post when I got to "GPL".

You could try my favourite, which is the zlib/libpng license.
If you don't like it you could always check that site for other licenses you'd rather use.
Also, you should really get a simple homepage done where you present the language so we dont have to download it just to see how it looks like.

That may not be a very good idea, since game middleware overall tends to be modified to suit a specific game or technology, and using LGPL means that the developer would have to release their source if they do.

Zlib, MIT, BSD, and variants thereof are good (to me). The simpler and less restrictive, the better.
