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.

SDL, SFML, other libraries for game development in C++...?

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.

AMA - We’re Pixpil, Shanghai-based indie team behind RPG adventure, Eastward. Grab your frying pans and ask us anything!
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: Favorite Game Engine?
I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.
But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

Is it really bad using an unpopular framework?
not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D
-
Is it okay to ask a question about Lovr here?
As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.
- need help choosing a game engine in lua for a 3d desktop/vr game

Lua, a Misunderstood Language
I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv.

I love Python, but I ought to branch out. I've done some stuff in C# and Java, but never as much as I've done in Python.
If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus?
Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.
