Chucklefish, the developer of Starbound, uses Rust too. The lead dev on the project gave a great presentation [1] at RustConf. [1] https://youtu.be/aKLntZcp27M

  (They did but have since stopped.)

    Do you have any articles or any info on why they decided to stop using Rust? I remember seeing things about them using Rust but never saw anything about them not using it and I'm curious.

      They made a few offhand comments on Reddit, but that's it. They decided that having a unified tech stack for the games themselves was worth more than Rust's advantages. Basically, they decided to re-build Witchbrook on top of Wargroove's engine. That being said, I guess I should have put an asterisk on there; they aren't using Rust in game anymore, but they are still (apparently, last we heard) using Rust for server-side components. Wargroove's servers are implemented in Rust.

  I'm aware of Chucklefish's usage of Rust, but they aren't a good AAA example even if they've shipped some of the most successful indie titles of all time. Also, as mentioned in a sibling comment they have abandoned Rust because the lead programmer that was driving it moved on.
