Cheering for your metaverse app. Hope to hear more about it. I suspected you might be doing gamedev but this is the first time you’ve shown extensive work. One challenge with rust is that (for better or worse) most gamedev talent is C++. If you ever open source it I’d be interested in contributing, though I’m not sure how effective the contributions would be. Good luck!

Email sent. I'm not that interested in self-promotion here as I am in getting more activity on Rust graphics development. I think the Rust core graphics ecosystem needs about five good graphics people for a year to get unstuck. Rust is a good language for this sort of thing, but you've got to have reliable heavy machinery down in the graphics engine room. Until that exists, nobody can bet a project with a schedule and a budget on Rust. The only successful commercial high-detail game title I know of that uses Rust is a sailing race simulator. They simply linked directly to "good old DX11" (Microsoft Direct-X 11) and wrote the game logic in Rust. Bypassed Rust's own 3D ecosystems completely.

  Is it the one by the same guy who made the gold-standard moddable racing simulator?

    It's "Hydrofoil Generation".[1] The only game on the "Released" page of the Rust gaming group that looks post-2000. [1] https://arewegameyet.rs/games/released/ https://arewegameyet.rs/games/released/

    He co-founded and was the lead dev of Kunos Simulazioni, which made Assetto Corsa (https://store.steampowered.com/app/244210/Assetto_Corsa/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/244210/Assetto_Corsa/). I miss his Twitch streams! https://www.twitch.tv/kunosstefano https://www.twitch.tv/kunosstefano

  Any pointers on what exactly is missing? I am neither a Rust guy or a graphics guy, but I have some interest in what is missing in the ecosystem.
