RG3D (Rust game engine) feature highlights
Thanks! I do have two pretty big games written with the engine - https://github.com/mrDIMAS/StationIapetus and https://github.com/mrDIMAS/rusty-shooter . I've started writing them because it is impossible to get right feature set, without a game that uses it.

[Media] rg3d game engine v0.22 - feature highlights
Thanks! Huge breaking changes in the API are rare, I'm trying to design the API to be good from the first try. I have three dependent projects, so every breaking change forces me to fix all of those. Usually I need an hour or so to make it compile again, even on large projects like this.

Station Iapetus - the game written in Rust based on rg3d game engine. It is still in early development stage, but there is lots of progress.
Hello! I've been working on this project for almost 3 months already and it has some decent progress I want to share with the community. The game is about task-force agent sent to the space station to investigate why connection with the station was lost. The plot is incomplete, it is a bit early for writing it entirely, because I'm just "whiteboxing" everything for now, and working on mechanics of the game. Here are the project links: https://github.com/mrDIMAS/StationIapetus and https://github.com/mrDIMAS/rg3d .

Voronoi, Manhattan, random
Bevy. A very young engine where you need to write the game entirely in Rust—that was appealing. But fatal flaws overshadowed everything: no editor, the engine brutally enforces the ECS approach, and the game's architecture must literally bend to fit this paradigm. So, you won't migrate to another engine at all—you just throw away all the code and start from scratch.

Web Game Engines and Libraries
Missing one of the best choices as long as "maturity" isn't on the top of your list: Bevy - https://bevyengine.org/
Game engine written in Rust, leveraging ECS in almost every place and way, with a really capable WASM export option. Wrestling ECS for the first time might take you some time, but in my experience helps you keep game code as clean and decoupled as game code could be.

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
I don't see WASM/WebGPU changing anything when it comes to gaming, as an industry, personally. 3d visualizations and interactive websites? Yeah definitely a nice improvement over WebGL 2, if years late.
WebGPU is pretty far behind what AAA games are using even as of 6 years ago. There's extra overhead and security in the WebGPU spec that AAA games do not want. Browsers do not lend themselves to downloading 300gb of assets.
Additionally, indie devs aren't using Steam for the technical capabilities. It's purely about marketshare. Video games are a highly saturated market. The users are all on Steam, getting their recommendations from Steam, and buying games in Steam sales. Hence all the indie developers publish to Steam. I don't see a web browser being appealing as a platform, because there's no way for developers to advertise to users.
That's also only indie games. AAA games use their own launchers, because they don't _need_ the discoverability from being on Steam. So they don't, and avoid the fees. If anything users _want_ the Steam monopoly, because they like the platform, and hate the walled garden launchers from AAA companies.
(I work on high end rendering features for the Bevy game engine https://bevyengine.org, and have extensive experience with WebGPU)

What Are Const Generics and How Are They Used in Rust?

WebAssembly Playground
That's possible. I did spend quite a bit of time tinkering with compiler flags, and followed the recommendations.
Some notes I found just now seems to agree with my results, though: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3978#issuecomment-...

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I cannot recommend immediate mode GUI programming based on the limitations I've experienced working with egui.
egui does not support putting two widgets in the center of the screen: https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3211
It's really easy to get started with immediate mode, it's really easy to bust out some UI, but the second you start trying to involve dynamically resized context and responsive layouts -- abandon all hope. The fact it has to calculate everything in a single pass makes these things hard/impossible.
... that said, I'm still using it for https://ant.care/ (https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants) because it's the best thing I've found. I'm crossing my fingers that Bevy's UI story (or Kayak https://github.com/StarArawn/kayak_ui) become significantly more fleshed out sooner rather than later. Bevy 0.13 should have lots more in this area though (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/9538)

ECS, Finally
I've also been enjoying building My First Game™ in Bevy using ECS. The community around Bevy really shines, but Flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs) is arguably a more mature, open-source ECS implementation. You don't get to write in Rust, though, which makes it less cool in my book :)
I'm not very proud of the code I've written because I've found writing a game to be much more confusing than building websites + backends, but, as the author notes, it certainly feels more elegant than OOP or globals given the context.
I'm building for WASM and Bevy's parallelism isn't supported in that context (yet? https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4078), so the performance wins are just so-so. Sharing a thread with UI rendering suuucks.
If anyone wants to browse some code or ask questions, feel free! https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants

Intel CEO: 'The entire industry is motivated to eliminate the CUDA market'
These days, some game engines have done pretty well at making compute shaders easy to use (such as Bevy [1] -- disclaimer, I contribute to that engine). But telling the scientific/financial/etc. community that they need to run their code inside a game engine to get a decent experience is a hard sell. It's not a great situation compared to how easy it is on NVIDIA's stack.
