Rust Game Dev Podcast 🦀

Remember this gif? All the changes landed on the macroquad-0.4. Now stable macroquad from crates.io supports Metal API! Being a major version bump, it gave chance to clean up a lot of long-lasting issues. Full 0.4 changelog: macroquad.rs/articles/macro… @rust_gamedev

After far too long a delay, bracket-lib has been updated! It's been tested with the Hands-on Rust code and the Roguelike Tutorial. As always, let me know if problems crop up. #rustgamedev

Another full month of @rustlang on YouTube. Overall we covered almost all of the Learn Wgpu tutorial series, implemented cubespheres and other shader tech in @BevyEngine, covered Bevy's second game jam and some other releases and started an "unstable Rust" series.

This is the way

🆕🦀 A few hours ago, @rustlang 1.64.0 was released! 🎉 Just like every six weeks, at every new release, here's a thread with some of the highlights. 🧵 1/15 blog.rust-lang.org/2022/09/22/Rus…

Began work on my first boss enemy in Thetawave. I'm trying out joints using Rapier by @dimforge. Liking the look of it so far! github.com/thetawavegame/… @BevyEngine #rustlang @rust_gamedev

@herberticus Happy Birthday!!

Having a hard-earned quiet day to celebrate my birthday. Dwarf Fortress time! That should leave me refreshed for the next round of bracket-lib work next week. We're *really* close to the next release. :-)

@Rex_Quantum I'm planning two rounds of releases: one to catch up (a last 0.8 version), focusing on crate versions and a year's worth of bug-fixes - and then a second that will add Bevy support.

Coded a little toy for the @BevyEngine jam #2. If you've ever wanted to drift a combine harvester, this one is for you. ;) Mostly an exercise to learn rust and play with bevy. itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-2…

@AliceICecile @BevyEngine Congratulations!

Over the weekend I worked a little more on character creation and UI. The UI system is starting to get quite flexible and putting screens together is relatively quick now, with support for events, tooltips, text wrapping and colour. #rust #gamedev

Learning @BevyEngine making a clone of this classic github.com/wichops/bevy_r… #rustlang #gamedev

The last few months I have been working on a side project of integrating Rust into Unreal Engine 5, and today I finally released it 🥳 Here is the blog post: maikklein.github.io/unreal-rust-1/ The project link: github.com/MaikKlein/unre… @rustlang @rust_gamedev #UnrealEngine

@ozkriff So good!!

a couple more sketches from the last week

Started doing little ~daily sketches because why not

🚀 gdnative 0.10.1 released! New #[method] syntax, GDScript utils like lerp/smoothstep, exporting Vec/HashMap/HashSet and several bugfixes. This is a backwards-compatible release; Godot 3.5 support will be added in a separate version. Details in github.com/godot-rust/god…

Veloren has hit a new record number of players online on the main game server at once, 277 --> 369!

Spent the last few evenings hacking on a new UI system - post finishing the incredible 'Hands on Rust' by @herberticus It's ECS driven, supports mouse/keyboard and adds multiline colored printing to my fork of bracket-lib. #rustlang #gamedev

I threw my own spin on an old @beesandbombs gif in @BevyEngine with some real cube meshes and vertex shader.

Today is Bevy's second birthday! As is (now) tradition, I've taken this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline our plans for the next year of @BevyEngine development. bevyengine.org/news/bevys-sec…
