I'd consider doing that once I feel like I've actually "solved" this problem. Adjusting to this scale of community development has been a slow and sometimes painful process. I started with a "benevolent dictator for

We haven't (yet) prioritized an official physics plugin for Bevy, but the Rapier physics engine has their own official Bevy plugin, which is the de-facto standard at this point. It supports opt-in determinism, which should be great for

Pipelining allows rendering and app logic to run in parallel. You can adapt to changes from the network when the app logic runs, so in that sense, it seems like a good fit. And you can use bevy_tasks to spawn background tasks (and spawn tas

Things have started to stabilize, but unless you're willing to get your hands dirty and deal with regular breaking changes, I don't yet recommend staking your livelihood on it. That being said, by the end of the year I think we wi

Yup shadows are notoriously difficult to make pretty in all situations. Fortunately we do have a number of "shadow quality" improvements in progress: https://bevyengine.org/news/bevy-0-6/#more-renderer-fe

We support low-end devices well (although this is a constant balancing act)! Bevy runs well on iOS currently (and we have WIP Android support ... we're working on re-enabling that asap). Fans spinning is a known issue, but it is genera

The aliasing you're seeing is "texture aliasing" from a lack of mipmaps. We have an implementation in the works, it just didn't make it into this release. This is a straightforward and well understood problem. Thankfully

Going forward, we will be doing a curated This Month In Bevy newsletter. We've had templates in draft mode for awhile, but getting 0.6 out the door has taken precedence. I'd like to release our first newsletter this month!

It can, but with care you can largely resolve this. And you can always disable pipelining if the performance benefits aren't worth it to you. Unity has a great article on this topic here: https://blog.unity.com/technolo

I agree with this. To anyone reading: please don't write off rg3d due to the behavior of a single person. rg3d is a super solid engine, they are ahead of us in a number of areas, and mrDIMAS (rg3d's lead) has never been anything b

I see that you (uncharitably) ignored the 5 huge bevy releases that occurred this year and the features they contained. I wont bother listing them here because the "last year of bevy" post above does it better. Also feel free to c

I would assert that we have made huge progress this year. Just check out what we've accomplished: https://bevyengine.org/news/bevys-first-birthday/ . But adam already knows this, given that they've advert

We will need to restrict access to console backends to comply with console developer contracts. We would only be able to give our code to other people who have been approved to look at the "proprietary console code". That being sa

Adding new "backends" to an abstraction always includes the risk of not being compatible with the current abstraction and requiring re-architectures. This would be true with our own abstractions as well. I agree that two separate

Snarky answer first: my experience tells me that I won't regret this decision :) Real answer: You can use this argument to justify abstracting out literally anything. Clearly we shouldn't abstract everything and the details of eac

Yup wgpu has a WebGPU backend, but it also has first-class native backends for Vulkan, Metal, DX12, and OpenGL ES (with upcoming support for DX11 and WebGL). It is designed to be a cross platform graphics API. It isn't "web based&

As Bevy Engine's lead developer (which uses wgpu), this release excites me for a number of reasons: * A smaller (and less abstracted) codebase means that we can more easily extend wgpu with the features we need now and in the future. (

Sadly we don't yet have top tier compile time tests like rust does ( https://perf.rust-lang.org/ ). We have a history of CI durations over time, but this is a rough metric given that we both optimize our CI constantly an

Iterative compile times are definitely a constant consideration for us. Some various thoughts on this topic: * For faster iteration on game logic, you can compile app logic in debug mode and the engine in release mode. App logic is rarely t

This is definitely something I believe in wholeheartedly. Game development is an important part of my life and I will be dogfooding Bevy for my own projects, as well as building official "template projects" for various game genres

I personally consider us to be "both" (and we've ping-ponged back and forth on the right term to use in our taglines). Our app model is "data driven" in that we encourage users to drive logic off of raw data wheneve
