I've been working on a zeldalike in python off/on for the past while now. Nowhere near done but I'm mostly doing it for fun/hobby. I'm no artist so solo gamedev is kinda hard (ended up drawing all the sprites myself which is why it looks like programmer art lol).
thanks. I'm making good progress on it. I've got quite a few of the items done, basic map graphics are done. etc. I even have a minimap system that fills out as you explore it's pretty cool :) I struggle pretty hard with the art though haha.
I code damn near everything in python so it was naturally my language of choice (looking back I should've just used unity lol). I'm using pygame for it which basically works similar to older game/graphics libraries. so everything is coded from the ground up.
I don't think it's possible to run a pygame game on consoles though is the thing. so you'd end up having to recode the whole thing if you wanted to do that.
