I never heard of game companies use Ruby to program games before. But
there are game development libraries like Rubygame and Gosu.

There are quite a few people using Ruby to help develop games..
However, I do not yet notice a really good open source game programmed
entirely or mainly in Ruby. Maybe we will see such a game in the
future.

Other than that, I develop my own open source game entirely in Ruby and
recently started using Rubygame.
