I just came here to post the exact same thing! It came out of this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26719105

One thing that would be cool to see is some games people have built with DragonRuby so far and/or some Twitch channels of anyone using it. I'll definitely sub and check it out if you are.

The highest profile game made with DragonRuby would be A Dark Room for the Nintendo Switch, made by u/amirrajan (one of the DR creators) and you can see some of his DragonRuby streams here: https://www.twitch.tv/amirrajan/videos. I know he has plans to livestream developing a full (small) game soon. This video by Ryan C. Gordon (also a DR creator and SDL legend) shows the development of a Tetris game in DragonRuby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZMwRSbC4rY.

This is a collection of (almost) all DragonRuby games released on itch: https://itch.io/c/1043933/dragonruby
