The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Improving upon Entity Component Systems, introducing DG-ECM!
Yep, we do this, it works great! We stole it from hecs and Amethyst before us. There's a nice write-up of the theory in the scheduler rework the team has been working on for the past few months.

Rust vs Go for gamedev
Rust also has seemingly better libraries for the purpose. Both Bevy and Amethyst are available, and plenty more.

Rust Platformer - Part 1 - Bevy and ECS
I recently stumbled upon a short YouTube video of somebody building a roguelike game in Rust. From there, jumping from resource to resource, I ended up going through (part) of this massive (and awesome) tutorial by Herbert Wolverson about his Rust library bracket_lib. In this tutorial, Wolverson builds a roguelike game with colored text characters. After reading through, I felt like writing another type of game in Rust, so I looked at the available Rust game engines. The most popular, seems to be Amethyst, but it looks like they halted their development efforts. Second in line was Bevy. People are using it, support for Android and iOS is on the way, uses an ECS and have some usage examples: looks good.

I'm a "low-level, terminal-only" kind of developer, completely new to the game dev world. I've been working on a 2D platformer in my spare time. Can you explain to me what I'm missing out on, by not using a "game engine"?
Depends on my goals. I year ago I wanted to learn rust, so I used piston for a gamejam. (There are several rust engines including bevy, piston, amethyst. They probably vary in quality, features, and constraints.) Piston was a terrible experience because compilation is slow even on that tiny project.

Why I still like C and strongly dislike C++
And there's already a couple of surprisingly full-featured 3D engines already out there. Most notably Amethyst.

Rust servers is down
Is anyone having this problem? I can't connect to rocket.rs, actix.rs and amethyst.rs servers. I would play at https://tera.netlify.app/, but people out there is really toxic. I heard that Rust is getting an update while playing in a Rust server, just then rust server freezes and goes down.

How to get started?
Or should I jump directly in one of the bigger engines like Amethyst, Bevy or other?

I made a fast and ergonomic crate for trait queries. Now, you can easily query for `dyn Trait`!
For some good real-world use cases, check out this thread: https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/39

Bevy 0.8
I'm the author of the draft Many Worlds RFC. Current plan is to get scheduling sorted out, then pick that work up again.

Bevy 0.7: data oriented game engine built in Rust
I can tell you right now that there’s an entire channel in the Bevy discord server dedicated to making an out of the box api for multiplayer. If you want the current state of it, check out this RFC. https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/19 I’m really excited for it when it eventually comes out.

Bevy 0.7
I think making it easier for systems to observe the effects of Commands from other systems is a critical missing piece of the Bevy ECS puzzle. "Stageless" is a solid, holistic solution to the problem and we're seeing the community slowly establish consensus on that design. There is already a draft implementation in the works. And I think "stageless" is most likely the solution we will land on.

Announcing bevy-egui-kbgp - an improved keyboard and gamepad story for egui in Bevy
Cool! Looks like a nice complement to the RFC about keyboard navigation!
-
Bevy 0.6
This should be fairly feasible: although you'll probably want to wait on (or implement) the dynamic components RFC. The comments above are more to the effect of "writing Rust is easier and more convenient than you might expect".

Bevy’s First Birthday: a year of open source Rust game engine development
You will be happy to know that better/updated documentation is planned. It was briefly mentioned as "the new Bevy Book effort" in this paragraph of the blog post and there are a ton more details in this RFC. Your participation would be more than welcome!

Placating the borrow checker for systems that depend on a component plus the same component on another entity?
So, several of us have been working on a relations feature for Bevy: first-class support for those sort of "target another entity with a component" patterns that keep cropping up. There's a lot to be done, and it's at a point where it can be chunked out, so if you're interested in helping out come say hi on Discord :)
