Rustup 1.29.0 has been released! 🦀 Rustup, the tool for installing and updating Rust, will now download files concurrently and unpack them in parallel, which makes updating Rust much faster. ✨ See the blog post for all the changes to rustup: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/12/R...

I can't really focus on #rustlang / bevy development atm, due to some issues - e.g. throwing job applications around, that seemingly land in 'the void'. 😶 Just so u know why there were no updates the past months. 🫠

Today I'm giving a talk about Ratatui at RustNation UK! 🎉🦀🐁 #rustlang #rustnation #rustnationuk #conference

Changing my setup for an undefined timeframe: 🐧 arch linux (btw) -> #nixOS 🦆 i3wm -> sway 🐬 xfce4-terminal -> foot

Rust 1.93.1 has been released. This point release fixes three regressions that slipped into in Rust 1.93.0: an internal compiler error affecting rustfmt, a false positive in a clippy lint, and an issue with the wasm32-wasip2 target. See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/02/12/R...

I'm back & decided to change things up! 🫠 ❌️ ditch QWERTY ✅️ develop & use my own smol layout ✅️ use badly cut paper as cover My #keyboard now looks like a space invader! (unintended) 👾

Just 'lost' hours of gamedev progress to PokeRogue. Lost an extremely lucky run to a water-type #pokemon that was immune to grass - didn't know that was a thing. 🦆 (And the only moves I had left were grassy 🫡)

🏞️ added environment variables: 🍃 temperature, rel. humidity & wind speed 🪿 they directly & indirectly influence various things: 🦫 ..like tire temp. warm-up/cool-down, grip, degradation, acceleration, etc. #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #indiegame

🔥 added tire temperatures 🪿 ..it affects grip & degradation speed 🦫 (..and indirectly other things) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

❄️ foggy winter styling #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🛞 tires now have durability w/ ui 🦆 added milage ui 🐇 simpler input ui 🦫 harsh keyboard inputs can be smoothed #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🌄 new daytime styling 🌲 new environment 🦜 reworked textures #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

Took a step back to rewrite stuff... ☠️ #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

👂 made a more chill engine sound ...the one before kinda annoyed me over time 🫠 #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

✨ major shading/style rework 💫 (kinda merging all past style tests into one) 🐿️ rework of a few track barriers (the glassy ones) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🚗 new asphalt style 🌄 re-added a simple skybox (just a gradient) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

👂 first try of skidding SFX 🦆 ..and suspension compression SFX 🐿️ (..or however one would call it) 🐦 made the engine sound more 'futuristic' #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #sounddesign

🛞 finished the first version of skid-marks #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🛞 defined where & when skid-marks should be #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

Worked on deki-drive a bit! 🐦 bevy: 0.16 -> 0.17 🍃 avian3d: 0.3 -> 0.4 🦜 style changes 🛞 physics changes #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Rust.

Rust 1.91.1 has been released. This point release fixes two regressions that slipped into in Rust 1.91.0: one that affects Wasm, and one that affects Cargo on illumos. See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/11/10/R...

Also migrated my modded GltfPlugin to bevy 0.17 🦜 does the same as the original, but: 🐿️ ..has easy access points to change stuff 'on load' through a trait 🐱 github.com/dekirisu/bev... #rustlang #bevyengine

🐿️ changed day/night lighting #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🦀 bevy/mevy UI Hot-Reload Experiment 🐦 Had a weird idea how to do bevy_ui hot-reload. ..without a dioxus or bevy feature 🦆 Here's a small test where only position, size & border works. 🦀 #rustlang #bevyengine

I was wondering how it would look like when: 🦞 not using bevys pbr material 🦜 making my own material (the darker looking one) (would 'lose' lighting/reflections etc.) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🐦 Mevy now works for #bevyengine v0.17 too 🐱 github.com/dekirisu/mevy

Rust 1.91.0 has been released! 🌈 🦀 This version brings you tier 1 support for aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, warnings for dangling pointers to locals, new methods on AtomicPtr, array::repeat, BTreeMap::extract_if, const TypeId::of, and more! Check out the announcement: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/10/30/R...

Looks almost the same, but: 🦆 less draw calls (partially custom GPU instancing) 🐇 less entities -> less transform propagation etc. 🐿️ less data cloning 🦞 downside: disabled 'indirect drawing' #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

It's crazy how much optimization-potential there is using bevy & rust 🦀 Dove a bit more into performance profiling and the engine source code - got a few ideas that should improve performance (on CPU & GPU) by quite a lot for my use case without many trade-offs (besides the development time). 🐿️

Rare Mevy (Macros for Bevy) Update! 🦜 🦆 added a shorter UI syntax 🪁 ..inspired by TailwindCSS 🐇 ..and LSP hovers still working 🐱 github.com/dekirisu/mev... (for bevy v0.16 still, partially works for v0.17) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

Ground Wobbles v2! 🪿 🐿️ more physically 'correct' 🦆 A LOT cheaper (performance) 🐇 optimized for A LOT of wobbles (still on bevy v0.16, will stay for a while 😊) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Bevy 0.17 is out now! It features Raytracing, Improved Observers / Events, UI Widgets, Rust Hotpatching, Light Textures, DLSS, Tilemap Chunks, Web Assets, Reflect Auto-Registration, UI Gradients, Raymarched Atmosphere, Virtual Geometry BVH Culling, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-17

made an animation for a neat #rustlang written thingy! 🦀👇

🐇 added higher 'cobble' path tiles 🦜 simple walkway composition #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🪿 added 'cobble' (rubber) path ground 🐿️ re-added path lamps 🦚 adjusted 'color base' #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

⚔️ wieldables are visible when not in hand #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

💥 loot now flies in the air and plops #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🌿 made another shield with #blender 🐢 wearing shields on the back is a thing #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🔮 made a new shield with #blender I'll try different styles over time (but still keeping the vibe) 😊 #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

💨 added a short dash 🌀 ..which works with the sword slash #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🍃 the spin slash now emits (fake, but cheap again) airflow 🌷 grass & flowers are reacting to it 📅 tomorrow: a short forward dash 💨 #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

🌸 made & added 3 more flower types! 🐇 ..all of them can be sliced too 📅 tomorrow: plants react to the sword swing's airflow (again) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🌸 made & added a simple tulip x bluebell 🪿 ..when sliced, their flower heads will fly off 🦫 ..(roughly) in swing direction 🦜 ..and the ground reacting to bounces #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🍃 developed a simple (fake, but cheap) physics system 🦊 Kyu (the pet) now uses it as movement #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

Makeover Time! 🫡 🦜 many small shading/style changes 🦚 model recolors for fun Very happy about the 2nd last 'bigger' shading/style change of my project, the last one will focus on optimization (after more stuff is in the game). 😊 #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🐊 made lawn mowing better #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🐧 added light snow fall 🐇 things can now look slightly frozen #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev

🐳 added first 'stable' rain VFX #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Experimental Shader Fun 🐦 custom light beams (bitrate will eat most of them..) 🦫 custom 'cloud' shadows (..those probably too) #rustlang #bevyengine #gamedev
