Migrated the biome generation of Wild Spikes to bevy_map_scatter. Currently using a small scatter plan that only generates one type (one kind of tree). But everything works as expected!

The Exofactory demo has been soft launched and is available to download on Steam. So so so much work.

Lots of game dev specific stuff in this one. Will hard launch as part of Steam Next fest but you can play it now. #GameDev #rust #bevy

The demo’s out on Steam for Linux and Windows. Trailer too! Packaging was rougher than expected, testing slipped, and I learned a lot. Animations and systems finally are there. Next up: better accessa...

Hi #bevy :) It's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain, where I go over the community-approved PRs for the #opensource #rust game engine that I help maintain.

Follow along as we review the 9 PRs in our backlog: it's a fun mix of process, programming and praise :)

I was looking into stencils in bevy and was surprised to find, they are currently not really supported.

With a few code changes, I was able to hack together rudimentary support, but it would be nice to see this become a mainline feature.

Abysm today: Sound work for my new monster, fixed a reported gamepad bug, various bits and pieces, and finally made the blob interact correctly with the stasis seal:

Light textures are new in bevy 0.17, and using them with image handles is easy.

To drive them with a material we have to render that material to a texture and use it in both places. This enables generating textures or animating scrolling IVs, etc

Observers became Events and EntityEvents in Bevy 0.17, while 0.16's Event became Messages.

Here's how hooks and observers work in 0.17

Alongside some pretty heavy reworks to the scripting engine, Items can now be combined using the MVP of the crafting system. See the example below of me combining to half loafs of bread into a full loaf.

Abysm today: Finished the first version of the final chamber of episode 2, using my new monster. It is not good, mostly feels like a chore, but that's why one iterates.

The rest of the game is fun though, watch the #gametrailer: youtu.be/O_fW5K3Au8o?...

A bit of nerd time tonight. I've looked to port over my previous demo (which was Skia in Rust) to #bevy. I'm using bevy-vello for the 2D rendering. Very early days, but looks nice, if a different aesthetic. I might not keep the realistic background.

Scroll and pan works but I'll probably remove.
