Oh no, I'm focused on godot and delighted much of my ruby coding style (and lib designs) transfers readily! There's DragonRuby engine that's all ruby but it's 2d and very code from scratch in an style that's oddly C-flavoured. Don't know of another curr.

Now that DragonRuby supports shaders, I can give my dungeons floors! (The engine is strictly 2D).
Next I might see if I can do a very rough approximation to bump mapping so the floor cobbles always appear raised.

It's awesome that I found out about DragonRuby completely by chance a week ago, and the standard license is currently FREE???

I'm honestly excited. I love how simple it seems, it runs on the first programming language I ever learned...I might have to open up my old Ruby notes 👀

I heard great things about Luau too and Vers programming language is weird at first but looking pretty good. But I am still a Ruby fan. Someday I will try DragonRuby for real. All the tech demos looks so solid ngl.

I have been jamming away with dragonruby to write a little game and it’s so freakin weird! I think it’s sprites for things that I’m not used to yet. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it if I keep on keeping on.

The beauty of GDScript being something that only Godot uses is that they can make it work however they want to make things easy for their diverse userbase, however this can definitely be confusing😅
DragonRuby does the same thing but with a Ruby-inspired language instead of Python.

I currently use Godot, but if I wanted to try something else I’d probably check out Defold. On the library side instead of an engine, I’d try out DragonRuby and LOVE.

I wish I was good at developing games on “DragonRuby” then I’d make a cool platform we about a yellow triangle fighting blue hexagons and rescuing a green triangle from a red Square.

So New Year’s Eve I made a Pong clone on the “DragonRuby” engine. Im happy.

You guys wanna see a game Dev stream of me trying to make a game on “DragonRuby” on Monday/tuesday? I got nothing better to do so…
October 20, 2024 at 1:01 AM
Yello yello! So on top of the FOOTSIES: rollback edition stream I’ll be having tonight, I’ll be trying to do some game Dev using the “DragonRuby” engine before that for some hours.

Comment how many hours I should try to stream my development below.

Football Manager 80's is functionally complete. So I guess it's time to look at recovering/converting my lost PlayMyCode games from 2014. The games are pretty basic, but some talented people helped out with these games (mostly music), so I need to bring them back. #gamedev
