Console?
Given that the game is being written with their in-house engine called halley which supports consoles (was used for Wargroove), the answer is most likely yes.

Witchbrook FAQ
It was originally in another programming language called Rust, but the programmer that knew that program left. Amzertul made an amazing engine with Wargroove called halley and we felt that it would be perfect for WB. Focus was shifted to Wargroove for a while, and then witchbrook started to be recoded. At this time the artstyle was changed to isometric.

Not pixpil, but our own engine which we use to make pixel art titles is open source.

What engine do you use and why did you choose it?
We used my own game engine (Halley) for both Wargroove & Witchbrook, no regrets at all! It's definitely a lot of work, but owning the entire stack gives you a lot of advantages. I posted a Twitter thread with my thoughts on the pros and cons a while ago, if you're interested.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together.
There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher.
I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE https://love2d.org/ -- if you show him the smallest sketch of something working, he might have an idea about what to add next.
Many years ago, on a flight, we went from 0 to game before we landed (with no experience).

Show HN: A variant of Conway's Game of Life in color you can run on your phone
* When a cell is born it randomly takes on the color of one of its (3) parents.
To try it out:
1. Install LÖVE for your device from https://love2d.org (~5MB and open source). (iOS requires building from source on a Mac, or installing the third-party Love2D Studio: https://love2d-studio.marknoteapp.com)
2. Install my Lua Carousel from https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel (~100KB). It includes all its source code and can be edited live on a computer as it runs.
3. Copy the ~100 lines of code from the bottom of https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel/devlog/651711/new-version-after-9-days and paste them into Lua Carousel.

Gearing up for Lua
Probably the most important piece of software we'll be playing around with is a game engine called LÖVE. Lua is well known around developer circles as being a good scripting language when it comes to making games, and this engine is one of the more popular. I'll be going through installation at the end of this post.

Can't make my mind about which engine to use
libGDX is great, but I can understand if it's not for some people. This also applies to love2d, raylib and Monogame

How Do I Compile/Install Love 0.10.2 on Linux?
You don't need to use git if you don't want to. Try downloading the 0.10.2 source directly here (the file you want is love-0.10.2-linux-src.tar.gz); I see you've tried this already but try again just to see what happens. Extract it to a directory (e.g. love-0.10.2-linux-src) and then run:

I want to make a game but I'm scared...
love2d (lua) is a productive, fun, good docs, and most importantly proven / field-tested 2d game library, with easy to learn fast to compile and fast to run language - lua. while lua might not have a lot of features as python, the big bonus is that its much more focused language, which is important because otherwise you can get easily distracted on bells and whistles that other programming languages provide, i know that from experience
