Another game jam. Another opportunity to get a free license to DragonRuby Game Toolkit. Please boost: https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comments/fsr5s8/a_10day_long_hackathon_called_jamcraft_5_starts/

Yes, that's an eye-tracker. And yes, the game hot loaded my changes. And yes I'm using Emacs in a TMUX with vim bindings.

I'll be streaming on Twitch in ~3 hours. Building A Link to the Past in DragonRuby Game Toolkit. Anyone that comes to the stream will get a free copy of the engine btw. http://twitch.tv/amirrajan

I'll commit the code here as I stream. So feel free to clone the repo and code along if you want:

I'll be streaming on Twitch today in ~two hours. I'll be recreating "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" using DragonRuby Game Toolkit \o/: https://www.twitch.tv/amirrajan

Anyone who stops by and participates will get a free license to the engine!

PLEASE BOOST ^_^

I've updated Return of Serenity with a more legible font. I've added some sound loops too for atmosphere. Hope you enjoy playing this quick little game: https://amirrajan.itch.io/serenity

PS: The game is made with #Ruby

Yes. Ruby can do *real* game dev. It gives trash runtimes like Unity and GameMaker a run for their money.

Ruby caused an upheaval of web dev with Rails.

This same upheaval will occur of game dev by a fire-breathing dragon. Wait and see.

This is your hourly reminder that A Dark Room has been released to the Nintendo Switch. We've added new storyline elements, music, dev commentary, and couch co-op. At least add the game to your wishlist so I can get the warm and fuzzies: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/a-dark-room-switch/
