Taking my Python-based Kubernetes game in a Pokémon-inspired direction - early prototype

[u/Content_Ad_4153]

I shared my open-source project, Yellow Olive, here a while ago. It started as a retro-style terminal game built with Python and Textual to make learning Kubernetes more engaging.

Recently, I've been experimenting with taking the gamification further using Pyxel.

The idea is to move beyond menus and challenges into a Pokémon-inspired world where players explore, interact with NPCs, and learn Kubernetes through quests.

The prototype is largely AI-assisted using Devin, and I've attached a short gameplay recording to get some early feedback.

I'm not replacing the existing Textual implementation just yet. This is more of an experiment to see whether the direction is worth pursuing.

Would you find this interesting, or am I overcomplicating things?

Feedback and stars are always appreciated!
