Looks really nice! Thought it was a terraria clone at first, will check out the reviews

Edit: bought it since it’s 75% off, played around 2 hours, it’s pretty entertaining, I’m not a super fan of this kind of turn based combat in general, but we’ll see

You can install it and start it only if needed, there’s no need to fiddle with your current DE

Overblown. You’d think they sold weapons to nazi, they sent a couple of laptops to open source developers which turned out to be assholes. People probably give more money to nazi when shopping and paying taxes

Recently had a smart friend says something like “gemini told me so”, I have to say I lost some respect ;p

In my opinion, for your situation, AI is not going to help if you don’t know enough programming ALREADY, what is probably going to happen is that you’re going to achieve a certain progress and then get stuck.

I suggest you take a look at no code/low code solutions since your game does sound not too hard to make.

Take a look at rpg maker and construct 3

You’ll be able to use AI for the scripting you’ll need.

I had a friend use rpg maker with success in the first years of high school, before “the internet” was available, and he knew nothing about programming (he’s now a doctor)

I think most selfhosters already know/use Linux, so management issues are already known. About the ease of use, if you manage services with docker it’s really easy to bring them up/down, and if you want some GUI there’s portainer.

Yeah, I love open source and privacy, but developers are staying on github because it’s not enshittified (yet). I do wish we’d all move to another platform, if anyone wants to keep the github UI, gitea (and forgejo/codeberg) straight up cloned it at a certain point, see https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo for example
