Crystal2Day: A simple 2D game framework in Crystal
For the beginning, it will be a simple 2D game library (or glorified SDL wrapper :D), similar to Ruby libraries like https://www.ruby2d.com/ or https://www.libgosu.org/ , albeit with some additional functions typical to 2D games (like scenes, maps, entities, ...) available. This is something I'm still missing in Crystal (there are some bindings for C libraries and some early or abandoned approaches, but that's about it).

My Ruby game library, MiniGL, has surpassed 100,000 total downloads
Sorry, I just realized that I only linked to Gosu's Linux instructions, but in their wiki there's also a page for Windows and another one for Mac OS.

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.

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.

What game engine is good for ruby?
I've not used it myself in about 5 years but it looks like they have a pretty good tutorial on getting started on their wiki https://github.com/gosu/gosu/wiki/Ruby-Tutorial
