Status : Offline | Revolution is using Renderware for the graphical engine. Our artists use Maya and export to the engine using renderware and some of our own plugins. The implementation is done through our own tools which have been developed over a number of years and games. The logic engine and other modules are written using C++.

Status : Online | Currently we are using VisualC++ because this is what the engine requires. I had thought about moving to Metroweks Codewarrior, but it's no longer an option.
Artists use 3ds max and Maya, with Paint Shop Pro as the main graphics editor (we could buy 5 of them for the price of one Photoshop). Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge is used for sound effects with some DirectX plugins.
As far as odd languages are concerned Schizm and Reah used quite odd Forth-like scripting language which used Reverse Polish Notation.

Developed by a great company you might add
Use odd languages like Pascal
Pascal is odd? It's more straightforward than C++! I don't think it's suitable for games, though.
To me, for first person games with static scenes, nothing beats using a tool like Macromedia Director except if you must do some very complex algorithms.

Yeah You know, the first Quake almost used MGL - but in the end id dropped it because 3Dfx wasn't very cooperative.

Well... Pascal just doesn't seem to be used much for real world programming. Probably because there aren't many good compilers (that is, there's one).
Of course, like Maciek mentioned, scripting languages used in games tend to be homegrown and geared towards that specific engine.

But slideshows are boring

Status : Online | We use an IDE programmed in c++, by Chris Jones, named AGS.
I'm feeling to have a much less status, than you, big companies - since you're using your own programmed engines, however, I'm not.
Our artists use Flash, Adobe Streamline, and Adobe Photoshop as far as I know. I'm not sure if they're using a few more.
We're thinking of supporting Roger Foodbelly on a Linux platform as well, but currently, only Windows.
We'll wait and see how it goes.

Status : Online | I must admit to not being a current developer, but when I was, a few years ago, we used VisualC++ (just the IDE & compiler, not the GUI libraries), and DirectX libraries for the engine, and Lightwave and 3DStudio Max for the modeling and texturing, and Paint Shop Pro for graphics touch up (Mostly because it is cheap and easy to use).
For some games we also had to use a proprietary graphics engine & track editor written in Intel Assembly language (ugh!!).
Mind you, when I started out in 1996, we were also using an Amiga for some of the graphics work.
And I have also used (and am still using for some things) Macromedia Director for development of certain stuff. (Especially prototypes and showreels)
