I've passed the half-way mark on porting Skelly from Löve2D and Lua to Pygame and Python 3. I've decided to go for it because Python is (for me at least) a much better development/debugging environment.
The biggest amount of coding is going to have nothing to do with the game engine anyway, so I might as well use my preferred language, right?
The Python "Arcade" library looks *very* interesting: https://arcade.academy/
Lua's easy enough (and fast) but I'm happier developing in Python... wish I'd know about this before starting Skelly.

If you've installed #Steam from a #Flatpak on #Linux, Windows games will not launch with #Proton. The Play button goes straight back to saying "Play", with no errors or other windows appearing.
Install Steam normally and you're good to go.
I deleted my ~/.var/com.valvesoftware.Steam directory (where the Flatpak version keeps everything) and re-downloaded my games, YMMV.
Hey @gamingonlinux have you covered Clone Hero before? It's a great Guitar Hero clone that works with USB guitar controllers and can use songs from Frets On Fire among other formats. Supports Linux/Mac/Windows: https://clonehero.net/
I just discovered it this morning, and as a Guitar Hero/Rockband addict... um... productivity is in danger...
Since it's not actually relevant to the game, I'm going to simplify and remove all of that. I don't want to be accidentally pandering or parodying.

So, for #Skelly, I want your skeleton to be inclusive. I've currently got this planned:
* Name: [some reasonable length, default: Skelly]
* Sex: {choose: Male, Female, Unknown, Fluid, default: Unknown}
* Preference: {choose: Men, Women, None, Any, default: None}
* 3rd Person Pronoun: [some short length, default: It]
* Object Pronoun: [some short length, default: It]
3rd person pronoun would be used in "{x} walked away."
Object pronoun is used for "Why don't you go ask {x}."
Am I leaving out anyone?
