From all the game engines I've seen in the last years, Bevy looks the most promising.
The API looks very clean and the development speed is outstanding for an open-source product.
After reading that Rust now plays in the C/C++ league I'm really excited about Bevy.
- wyldfire 6y agoWhat does it mean that "Rust now plays in the C/C++ league"? Is this referring to the Rust Foundation announcement or some other recent news?
- d3fault 6y agoI believe they're talking about Rust's performance vs C/C++, but I could be wrong
- k__ 6y agoYes, sorry. I was talking about performance.
- wyldfire 6y agoIs that only a recent phenomenon, though? Hasn't it always been competitive?
- dralley 6y agoWhat they likely mean is that C++ gamedev libraries have been heavily optimized over the course of many years, so while there is no theoretical limitation on Rust's equivalents, polishing them to the same degree is nontrivial and takes time. Bevy is the closest and that is a recent development (last couple of months).
- pjmlp 6y agoRust while nice still has to catch up with 30 years ecosystem of tooling. Many game studios won't bother using it if it doesn't come on the console vendors devkit, just like it happened with C, C++, or middleware like Unreal and Unity.
- k__ 6y agoTrue. But it also doesn't have to put up with 30 years of legacy cruft.
