DragonRuby Game Toolkit lets you write commercial games in Ruby that run on:
✅ Switch, PS5, Xbox
✅ Steam Deck
✅ iOS, Android, Web
✅ Raspberry Pi

Hotloading. No GC stutter. One codebase.

#Ruby #GameDev #DragonRuby

I love that I can write rspec tests for my game code, the small pieces are easy to test. What is tricky is, that rspec runs with a local ruby while the game runs in the #DragonRuby GTK which is powerfull, supports all syntax, but does not have the full standard library. I miss regular expressions and Forwardable. How has nobody used regex in games with this before?! 😆

Making progress with my #20SecondGameJam submission, 20 Second Cube Fight.

#GameDev #DragonRuby

Hello #indiedev #dragonruby ! I have updated my ko-fi with some links to my dragonruby open source stuff. If you use dragonruby, feel free to check them out! You can also see and play the games I've released in my gallery as well.

If you find what I do useful or fun, I could use your help finding my replacement for a laptop. Toss a few bucks my way on ko-fi and it will help me keep going! Thanks, love you all!

#EuRuKo is next week! Who's going? I'll be there 😊

Also, kinda unrelated but kinda not. I'll be in Viana do Castelo a few days ahead of time. If you'd like to meet up for a lunch (or an ice cream?) on Tuesday or Wednesday before the conference ping me! Even if we haven't met before, I'd love to say Hi!

And finally: I've been doing some ruby game dev the past few weeks in #dragonruby. It's fun. I'll probably be speaking about that on a Stockholm Ruby (#sthlmrb) meetup in October!

@bd I believe @amirrajan has done this with #DragonRuby

Nice demo of multi-orientation support in DragonRuby https://youtu.be/r1IrTdEUE0o?si=BpwAoIeuRBG118x6 #gamedev #dragonruby

Upcoming dragonruby jam!

Fluff and fun for all! Keep an eye out for the free Dragonruby Engine giveaway period too, they always give out itch.io keys and you can get the whole thing free once you claimed it. Dragonruby really wants you, yes you, to make cool things and ship them out. My favorite 2d engine!

Mi juego para I, REBEL: A JEFF MINTER GAME JAM por Atari

La semana pasada participé de este concurso de desarrollo de un videojuego. Estuvo bastante divertido y algunas personas me han dicho que el resultado es divertido, lo que me hace inmensamente feliz.

@h4ckernews did you see that @amirrajan?

It seems like @hadashia wants to have some competing stack to #DragonRuby. 😉

Opening up access to my refinement of a game jam entry from ancient history (2023) because why not. It will likely be in beta forever 🤷

Save Our Spacers! is a silly game rescuing astronauts before time runs out:

Un poco de evolución en este proyecto de juego.
#DragonRuby #Gamedev #Ruby

This is what people mean when they say to make fan art with your favorite tools, right? I'm not being weird?

Nothing downloadable yet. I need to figure out how to allow color settings.

And maybe export a whole spin cycle (it's not trivial to figure that one out as the blade amount/distance can vary and also radians/degrees/maths/framerates/aaaah I hate math today. I'll try making it happen though. We are well past the point of just a joke.)

Volví a la programación con DragonRuby y he estado programando un juego al estilo Breakout o Arkanoid.

Nice, Julian is giving a talk at @friendlyrb about creating games with @amirrajan's #DragonRuby and the retro style of the first slide already makes me happy!

Unless something changes real soon now, DragonRuby Dispatch, the newsletter I’ve been running for 5+ years and 150 issues for #Ruby #RubyMotion and #DragonRuby will be coming to an end. https://ckarchive.com/b/wvu2hgh57x383i9r552rqte2ezkxx?utm_source=blufly.media&utm_campaign=03276

I was looking at #DragonRuby for #gamedevelopment the other day. Seems like it's still maintained. Anyone know if #RubyMotion is also still a thing? I haven't seen any publicly visible updates about it since 2020.

And now you can also lose astronauts to (entirely unrealistic) black holes. This is the end of the #20SecondGameJam for me, but I have at least one more idea I'll throw into this game at some point.

#DragonRuby #gamedev

Feels a little more real when the spaceship abandons your poor astronauts.

#20SecondGameJam #DragonRuby #gamedev

I've gone ahead and submitted my #20SecondGameJam submission because I know I'm not going to get more done this week: https://itch.io/jam/20-second-game-jam-2023/rate/2380264

Still more to add, but it's playable and maybe even fun.
