I don't work with game development, but a few of my colleagues does, so
from time to time I take part in discussions like this. It seems to me
that the most important part, when choosing languages for game engines,
the most important thing to keep in mind is the user of this language.
Are you targeting game designers? If so, Octave is probably to
"math-oriented".

As to speed, etc., then I think Octave is just as fine (or better) than
Lua or python.
