blender-tools VS Ambient

I work at Embark Studios on our creative platform. Our team is building everything in rust.

Tons of big companies are using it: Amazon, Discord, Cloudflare, etc. You can read about their success stories. As for game development, Veloren is a pretty complex game, and it's written entirely in Rust. Embark is betting on Rust for their game dev projects. ECS makes the dream work here, but an Actor framework would work too. You don't need DI. For example, in the web services I write using Actix, application state (stuff like clients for redis or http, db connection pool, etc.) is stored globally, and shared through the application state extractor. No dependency injection, but accessing that global state is just as convenient as if it was DI. If it's shared across workers, you put it behind a mutex/rwlock or use a concurrent data structure.

https://embark.dev/ is a major player in the rust ecosystem right now. They look like they are aiming for more of a startup feel rather than an indie one.

We are at Embark! https://embark.dev/, https://embark.rs, https://embark.games.

Is a remote-first culture, Rust-only team building our game platform from scratch on all levels and all types of code (gameplay, engine, generalists, backend, research/ml), and with a strong focus on open source.

Tons of game studios are using Blender in production. And for environment creation 3dsMax is much more popular in games. 2 Blender examples: - Embark: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/blender-tools - Ubisoft: https://github.com/ubisoft/mixer

Hi, this is Kuba from Ambient team, I work on Ambient backend.

The servers in question are part of the main Ambient application [0]. The server part is open-source just like the rest of the engine. You can start your own server using native build of Ambient (check cli help for `ambient serve`).

As for the orchestration and creating servers on demand, we are using Kubernetes and Agones [1]. Both of them are open too. We just have a thin API server that receives requests that a server is needed, checks if there's already one running and if not it uses Agones to allocate one.

Intriguing development! It's quite refreshing to witness Bevy hopping onto the WebGPU bandwagon. I can't help but wonder about the complexity involved in transitioning an existing codebase from WebGL to WebGPU in such a compressed timeline.

On a similar note, Ambient (https://github.com/AmbientRun/Ambient) has been on my radar for their utilization of WebGPU, though they seemingly lack a tangible web demo. Anyone have any insights or comparisons to share?

- Finally, our UI framework, Ambient UI, can now be used from guest code. Combined with our networking and ECS, this unlocks an exciting new capability: multiplayer UI!

In the blog post, we walk through the creation of a basic multiplayer beat sequencer using these features. We're excited to see what else the community can cook up :)

I work on Ambient, an open-source platform for streamed[1] multiplayer games written entirely in Rust. We're a Swedish startup that supports remote and we're hiring for self-starters - if you think you can flourish in a startup environment, feel free to apply!
