Im looking to get into game development with Nim, but the popular libraries I’ve looked at are mostly outdated or unmaintained. What options do I have?

Frag is also available, though it's been a year since it was updated. For using SDL2 you can also tag on my own gamelib which adds some utility functions to make game development easier. It also includes things which can be used regardless of back-end, like the tweening part (I'm actually going to update that today to fix some small bugs I found).
