Baldur's Gate 3 is a really great example of how the ideal D&D 5E experience is one that makes several balance adjustments, includes a bunch of stuff that's not supported by the rules as written, and has world-class story, level and encounter design So like. D&D itself does very little of the work

This one covers porting to #bevy 0.17, moving to Avian for physics, and a lot of QoL fixed. #rust #GameDev #indiedev Lots of images and videos in this one. exofactory.net/blog/2025-11...

All our #Bevy crates have been updated to 0.17: bevy_ios_impact, bevy_ios_iap, bevy_ios_gamecenter, bevy_debug_log and many more... check all 16 out on our GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/rustunit/repositories #rustlang #gamedev @bevy.bsky.social

We're currently in the biggest game of the Dollar Auction ever created. Each new frontier model represents a bid, whose cost is paid for at the time that it is trained. But the AI market is a most-capable winner-take-most game. new post by @talor.computer ft me: taloranderson.com/blog/ai-valu...

look People think documentation is hard. "Documenting a lot" has legit been career advancing for me One trick: If you're writing down an answer to someone in an email or an IM, paste that this into a page Just do it. Copy-paste. A little cleanup if you're feeling ambitious. Bam, documentation.

i think rust teaches us to fear dynamic dispatch because it looks ugly to box dyn, but my hottest bevy take is that we haven’t yet begun to fully explore the potential of function pointers in components

Surround yourself with good thoughts and ideas, and you will become better. Bad thoughts and ideas, you'll become worse! Trying to pretend otherwise is simply detached from reality

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

1/ Mark Cerny confirms that the future foundation of #PlayStation hardware will be focused on broader compatibility. Developers will find it easier to transition to other consoles, PCs, etc., since the technology is shared between AMD and PS specific boards. www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2025/10...

I submitted the @bevy.org stand for #fosdem ; fingers crossed now 🤞

ah, i implemented my own propagation technique for #bevy before i upgraded to 0.17... docs.rs/bevy/latest/... oh well! this is better anyways, and now i don't have to maintain it :)

BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products. That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo. youtu.be/DAX2_mPr9W8

runtime errors are (in my opinion) fundamentally worse than compile time errors

6. Also, the first Rust SDK for embedded devices - esp-hal 1.0 is out. Big props to the crew who wrangled microcontrollers into speaking fluent Rust. developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/10...

so @sk83rjosh.bsky.social has been working on loading the entire 1024km^2 map of Just Cause 2 into @godotengine.org, complete with terrain and location streaming, but he's too shy to post about it, so I will

It's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain :D Each week, I go through the open, community-approved PRs for @bevy.org, the open-source, Rust-based game engine that I help maintain. There's always interesting things to talk about: the mundane technical and social stories of open source are fascinating!

@stechlab-labels.bsky.social is really really good for blocking spam and bots

No #bevymergetrain today, sorry! Off sick: I got my annual flu and COVID vax, which is very good, but comes at a great and terrible cost (a day or two of enforced rest). Take care y'all; I'll see you next week.

This was the right thing to do. Supporting diversity, equity and inclusion is important for building a healthy open source community, and the open-ended clawback clause is deadly for any nonprofit. Thanks PSF.

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

Having listened to this show, #Bevy seems like a project done right. I would love to be part of a project like this, if it is what @alice-i-cecile.bsky.social so ably describes. Not just because I love ECS, but because of how it's been organized. Beautiful. youtu.be/PND2Wpy6U-E #rustlang

Steve is leaving us at Oxide 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 But also going to go work at ERSC to help #jj-vcs take over the world, and I couldn't possibly be more excited about that

Hi #bevy! It's time for another #bevymergetrain, as I go over the community-approved PRs stuck in our backlog <3 There's only 6 today, so grab a nice warm drink and follow along as I discuss #rust, #gamedev and the realities of #opensource project management.

changing rustfmt is politically difficult, because any changes you make is gonna piss someone off it doesn't surprise me that maintenance has been slow and hard

OK, the way Clippy told me to replace cos(pi / 4) with the FRAC_1_SQRT_2 constant is wild. Clippy is becoming self-aware.

the thing is, rust can have really fast compile times, but the pervasive use of macros and build scripts obscures that fact. impure proc macros and build scripts are the free parking of the rust ecosystem: benefiting the few at the cost of many

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Avian is getting pretty big nowadays! To mark the start of a new release cycle, I spent some time improving our processes moving forward. Notably, Avian now stores migration guides in-repo, similar to Bevy: github.com/avianphysics...

It is important for people who are expected to obey a law to be able to easily find, read and understand it, for free.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is be friends with people who know a hell of a lot more about certain stuff than you do

Why I like and keep working on Rust

Next up on my reading list. …I am already regretting this choice.

I saw _the_ teapot in Dublin

A cross-section shader! Wanted to make this for a while. Clipping pixels based on plane/spheres/cubes/... intersections and reconstructing the UVs to render the cross-section pattern/texture

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume. They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

It's been a while, but I've written another blog post - on panicking and what Rust programmers should do about panicking: www.ncameron.org/blog/to-pani...

A quick visibility mesh implementation in bevy. Sort vertices globally by angle relative to player, iterate, and build mesh. repeatedly .insert_attribute visibility mesh positions on a Mesh every frame.

We're excited to announce a new initiative to support the Rust Project, our Rust Maintainers Fund! We are setting out to employ 6 full-time maintainers and 6 interns in 2026 to make sure #rustlang is well maintained and bugs and contributions get the attention they need. Read more: rustnl.org/fund

Who’s going to #fosdem ? I’d like to plan some @bevy.org stuff 👀👀 #rustlang

Alice I Cecile‬ does these threads once a week (on average), and they're great insights into the processes behind Bevy (the engine I use in stardrift.run, also used in things like Tiny Glade) and into FOSS stewardship in general

Hi! I help maintain @bevy.org, an open source Rust game engine :) After a nice long weekend with family (🇨🇦🦃) it's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain, where we go over the PRs in our backlog that our community has kindly reviewed for us. Follow along as I explain my thought process for each!

I just released version 0.4 of Avian, an ECS-driven physics engine for @bevy.org. This is the biggest release yet, featuring 3x performance(!), overhauled forces and joints, voxel colliders, Bevy 0.17 support, and much more. As always, release notes can be found here: joonaa.dev/blog/09/avia...

Upside of using #bevy and open tooling is you can get your games to compile on non corporate approved architectures. I just got the #aarch64 and #RISCV builds running. If you have real RISC-V hardware and want to test let me know. Here is the game running natively on a Pine Book Pro. #GameDev

At the @rustfoundation.org we're hiring another Infrastructure Engineer to join my team. We'll work together to make #rustlang more scalable, sustainable and improve the developer experience of Rust contributors and Rust developers! 🌈
