This looks really impressive! Given that Rust -> WebAssembly is at least a thing, would it be plausible for someone to make that rusty-shooter demo work in a browser?
The graphics code would have to be ported to WebGL, and then there might be an extra hurdle getting WASM to talk to WebGL directly. But it's doable, yes.

#42Wow, there are a lot of solid game engines coming out in Rust. Most are still pretty early, but it's really impressive how much of the gamedev community has such an interest in Rust.

#43I have started playing with Bevy [1], so I wonder how this compares from an ECS point of view?
I am a beginner at Rust, so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
Great to see gamedev taking off on Rust!

#44If you'd like to support the development of this engine, the author has a patreon https://www.patreon.com/mrdimas
Unfortunately, Github sponsorships is not available in Russia.
Also, there's a discord channel dedicated to the project https://discord.gg/xENF5Uh

Rust with WebGL is pretty seamless today.
I wrote a game for a gamejam using Rust, Wasm, and WebGL without any engine: https://kettlecorn.itch.io/wonder
It makes use of ‘glow’, a Rust library that lets you write regular OpenGL code that runs across desktop, mobile, and web: https://github.com/grovesNL/glow

Bevy right now has little to show for itself besides a somewhat clean ECS api.

#47Wow, this is a lovely, pragmatic, no nonsense game engine! And it has a non-trivial example project and an editor! This is such a breath of fresh air for game engine announcements. I don't know if mrDIMAS is on HN but big congrats to him for this great project.
Thanks a lot for the kind words!

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's a single person project. I haven't seen a more advanced rust engine. Adding better rendering isn't too bad once you have some engine architecture.
I have nothing against it, and it being a single person project. But the fact remains, it's far behind Unity, Unreal and Godot.
With enough time and resources, I wonder if we'll one day see a Rust game engine that can outperform these projects.

#49Quite cool! This is the kind of stuff that might drive adoption among game devs.

References are almost in, by next year you can probably already talk directly to WebGL.
