basically this. OP, if you really want to make gaymes using ruby because it's so useful consider using it as your scripting engine instead of something like lua
they should fire you for introducing esoteric tools into company tech stack. where are they going to find devs to maintain that crap? your company is managed by morons.
python would be better, considering you already know ruby, the transition would be easier and its used way more in production. e.g. youtube video player uses python, d*scord also uses python.
i dont make games with python but there is a library called pygame that would probably be a good place to start.
pygame is trash don't listen to this guy. basically anything written in it is essentially going to be useless and ineffective after about 30-45 days of commits
Ruby is great and Rails is GOAT (and it actually puts food to my table)
Not sure I would use it for game dev though. My main concern would be the garbage collector triggering and doing heavy stuff, but maybe it has been solved by ruby 3.1 incremental garbage collector
No one uses Ruby for anything besides Rails. And no one chooses Rails for new projects.

And metasploit. It sucks. I hate ruby.
dragonruby is ok
I choose Rails for new projects and run circles around flavor of the week losers.

>what are my options?
None, use Lua (Love2d) or Python (Pygame).
Ryan Gordon is a fat wiener sucker.

do you want to make slow games that will be a total nightmare to package?

1. Don't
Rpg maker xp
Only valid answer ITT
Ganker is too zoomer to know that Ruby was the best language for quickly making low-effort porn games with RPG Maker
>no types
have a nice day
Gosu.
Gosu is what a few games I know of have been made with.
Ruby + gosu or Ruby + dragonruby
Lua + Love2D.
too bad Lua sucks too. otherwise, Love2D is a cool project.
Dragonruby. Try it, I heard its quite good
Use Haskell, or Lisp instead. Better yet: both!

I like the aesthetic of Ruby but I hate the syntax.
