I'm stoked to have been a part of the Bloom Digital team that just released LongStory 2! They took a risk by using the Bevy game engine, but it looks like it's paid off—way fewer bug reports upon release.
This work required mucking with some upstream crates, and they were happy to support the #opensource community and send those changes back, which I'm thrilled with.
is there some good videos on how to write game ai for 3d games (navigation in a 3d world, etc)?
both specific to #bevy and generic theory would be appreciated
the more I learn about game design while developing a game with bevy, the more I realize, how engaging the rust compiler's game loop is to me.
for example, resolving compiler warnings has a similar emotional impact as finding hidden puzzles in a level.
Hot patching #RustLang code? In my #BevyEngine?
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/19309 was just merged!
Thanks to subsecond from #Dioxus, coming to Bevy 0.17, and already on main!
Another sneak peek at what's coming in Slint 1.12: integration with the #wgpu rust crate.
This opens the door to combining #Slint UIs with 3D scenes from engines like Bevy 
Check out the example:

With that, we have a new guide for "Community Exercises" 
https://rustlings.rust-lang.org/community-exercises
You can create your own exercises and let the #Rustlings program manage them 
I have heard that the #BevyEngine community is thinking about creating some exercises for Bevy beginners

I have 3 major goals for the work on #bevyengine editor.
Find improvments to bevy.
Find fast, effective, current tech solutions to problems facing the editor.
Make the development process as similar to a bevy game as possible to make community additions as easy as possible.
I want the editor to be an echo of bevy's philosophy.
In all its aspects.
I want it to echo the philosphy of community/extensibility/modularity that bevy has built.
Oh, wow! Experimenting with some #Bevy the last few days, I've just realized you can create your own `SystemParam`s and `Query`s!
So first let's look at `SystemParam`s:
You probably know those wild parameter lists in your systems, right!?
fn foo_system(res_foo: Res<Foo>, loc_bar: Local<Bar>, query: Query<(Entity, &Node, &mut Transform)>)
We want this to be more modular and reusable - so we create our own `SystemParam`, which we can use as a parameter to our system:

I've ascended into witchcraft. 
WIP css-like #rustlang macros for #bevyengine UI. It just creates or edits UI components, while keeping correct tokens for things like hover docs. 
Possibilities are basically infinite since I create whatever syntax I want to and translate them to bevy things.

Trying to prototype a little game type thing and I'm trying to decide between using Godot or Bevy
I've done some basic tutorials in each and understand, to a certain point, how to get going in each. My biggest concern is my ADHD and my passion for getting so worked up on the details of the bark structure of the trees that I forget forests even exist, much less that I'm in one. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations based on the following:
GODOT
1. Much more feature complete, big community, lots of plugins
2. Has its own editor and emphasizes scripting, which is good, but also leaves me feeling very disconnected from "first principles" when using the editor and for a... backend? whatever coder like me it feels sort of off putting.
3. I am also not sure whether the stuff I want to do would be performant in a scripting language; I just mean this literally, as in "I don't know". Especially as there's stuff I would want to re-use heavily everywhere. I'd probably use C# as I'm arguably familiar with it, although it obviously has that Microsoft association and I find my hate of MSFT rather distracting sometimes.
BEVY
1. Very comfortable to write code, I like their ECS stuff more than how Godot is organized I think (seems to gell better with my brain), I can use my own editor and it doesn't feel "visual first"
2. I expect that when I get to needing the "visual" parts of a potential game type thing I'm going to struggle with the lack of visual tools. Just generally, as it's a less mature library, there's not as many pieces to it (and I'm not terribly experienced with Rust). For instance, it turned out to be a little more difficult than expected to load formatted text data (although there are tutorials/examples everywhere and some libraries that basically enable this with more or less one line).
3. Also, everytime I have to use a library written or maintained by dtolnay my blood boils. I fucking hate that guy. If he's the kind of guy who searches for his name and finds this, then just know you are hated.
Any thoughts for an easily distracted ADHD kitten?

Working on a Lightcycles clone in #bevy for fun. Abusing Bevy's wireframe renderer for adding outlines to specific parts by having a separate mesh with just the vertices I wanted outlined. It worked way better than I expected.
#bevyengine
diving back into wgpu 0.20 + winit 0.30 with a focus on referencing #bevyengine crates and connecting concepts.
About two weeks ago, our university’s robotics club competed in Harvard’s Pacbot competition (think Micromouse, except the robot plays Pacman instead of solving a maze). One of the cool parts of our robot is that it's controlled by a GUI built completely in Bevy! Thread contains a breakdown of our technical highlights, and then some thoughts.
