Any particular hurdles or challenges that were difficult to overcome?
Learning Ruby.

After focusing my efforts on C# and Java, Ruby was a brain twist.
Though I wouldn't try to do to much with Ruby(for games), because its easily 10 to 100 times slower than C#.

I'd recommend checking this out. Lots of example to work from. Especially the few projects that also include the non-encrypted builds.

I've spent several hours playing (or trying to play) through several of these contest submissions, and this one is by far my favorite so far.

You're Under Arrest

edit: On that note, the battles are quite boring... But its not the battles the make this good.

A lesson hard learned, if at all, is that feature creep is real and it is one evil fuck... /sigh

On sale at Steam until 9/19

After years of wanting this, I got it and I have to admit, it's less easy than I'd hoped.

RPG Maker MV announced/available for pre-order

RPG Maker MV | RPG Maker | Make Your Own Video Games!

Some of the biggest changes/features

1) They -finally- have a native side-view battle system option instead of just the Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest style stuff
2) Multi-platform support for the games you make. You can make mobile device versions and web-based versions of your game.

Those 2 things alone make me want to get it, especially since you can make phone app versions of your game
