My Ruby game library, MiniGL, has surpassed 100,000 total downloads
There's a list of the games in the repository's README (https://github.com/victords/minigl).

Simple game tutorials in Ruby using Ruby2D
if you want to explore gosu, minigl looks interesting

ruby2d vs pygame
I didn't use these frameworks but if you want to go with Ruby, I would recommend Gosu, which is more active than Ruby2D (they have a pretty active Discord server). Since it's a bit low-level, you could also use my gem MiniGL which builds on Gosu to make a lot of things easier, and I also actively maintain.

Puzzle game made in 1 week
I recently decided to recreate a puzzle game that I developed all the way back in 2012, with C++, but this time with Ruby and my library MiniGL. I was curious to see how quickly I could do it and, having all of the graphics and sound assets already done, it only took a week (working between 2 and 3 hours per day). I didn't reuse any of the original code, and even made some small improvements.

Ruby is good for the soul. Have fun with it. That's the most important thing. Build a game. Here's one I'm working on (source code + playable link in the comments).
Don't forget MiniGL :)
- Meu jogo de plataforma estará disponível em breve na Steam!

My solo-developed, Ruby powered, platformer game Super Bombinhas will be available soon on Steam!
By the way, it's worth mentioning that there's a .deb for Debian-based distros that you can get for free on https://victords.itch.io/super-bombinhas. Also, if you're willing to do a bit more work, you should also be able to run it on Mac - you'd just have to install Ruby and the Gosu and MiniGL gems, then clone the game's repo and follow the Readme.

Started working on an isometric RPG project
Hi! I've wanted to create an RPG inspired by the first Paper Mario games for a long time, but having to deal with 3D graphics was always a blocker for me... So I finally managed to create an isometric 3D "engine" using only 2D libraries (Gosu and MiniGL) and I'm happy with the results so far.

A small sample of the large amount of content from the free and open source 2D platformer Super Bombinhas, written in Ruby. Download on https://victords.itch.io/super-bombinhas
Neither, I use Gosu and my own little library, MiniGL.

ConnecMan - open source puzzle game
I wanted to share with you my new open source puzzle game, ConnecMan. It's not actually "new", but a remake of a game I created years ago with the proprietary and now obsolete XNA framework. It's now fully recreated with Ruby and my library MiniGL.

DragonRuby Game Toolkit - Tech demo showing what Ruby is capable of: lighting, camera movement/parallax, physics and collision, all at 60 fps.
It’s a combination of the following sample apps: 1. Axis align bounding box collision 2. Simple camera 3. Lighting

DragonRuby Game Toolkit - Game development gives such a different realm of problems to solve that you just don't see with app dev. I'd encourage y'all to give it a try (it's extremely rewarding). Here's an example.
The Indie and Pro version of DR let you create your own C Extensions. These sample apps guide you through the process step by step.

I notice that there aren't many gaming engines that support Ruby script. I'm considering working on a more manageable project that will incorporate MRuby into the Love engine.
What we can safely open source is here (we try to expand this repo as much as we can): https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib

With RubyConf 2022 around the corner, I added a bit more polish to DragonRuby's tech demo. Hope y'all can make it out to my talk where I'll be showing this off :-)
DragonRuby is awesome to work with. They’ve put together tons of super useful samples: https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/tree/master/samples

To celebrate the 3-year anniversary of DragonRuby Game Toolkit (and 8 years as an Indie game dev), I'm making the game engine free for the next 3 days. Tips for succeeding as an Indie in the comments too.
There are some sample apps that show how to make buttons, so most guis would be a combination of using sprites and testing for click events. The tricky part is gonna be a fully functional text box. The dragonruby heads up display has one and the machinery to get that to work is here. A few people on the Discord server have actually pulled this off and have created toy IDEs with it ha.

With RubyKaigi 2022 kicking off, I've made DragonRuby Game Toolkit free. Hope you enjoy and feel free to AMA about the engine.
We have a bullet hell sample app :-) https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/tree/master/samples/99_genre_arcade/bullet_hell

Soft body physics in Ruby (DragonRuby Game Toolkit) :-)
It might help to start with a simpler example. This is Pong written with the same structure. The general theme is to start simply and introduce abstraction at the “last responsible moment” as opposed to upfront: https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/blob/master/samples/99_genre_arcade/pong/app/main.rb
