froggy VS StationIapetus

What I found in practice is that many people start using the ECS for speed, and then draw themselves into a corner of the design space. Now they have to weight every step on "how would it work in ECS?", and dedicate effort to fight the ECS paradigm.

For example, a mesh may contain multiple materials. Is each material chunk a separate entity? Or maybe each bone in a skeleton is a separate entity with its own "parent" and "transform" plus other component.

One of the different approaches is component graph systems [1]. It lacks the ability to mix and match components, but provides a more natural (and simpler) model to program for.

I had similar motivation back in the day for CGS in https://github.com/kvark/froggy, which was also powering https://github.com/three-rs/three. It's nice to see Rust ecosystem not locking itself on ECS, even if they are so cool :)

Check Station Iapetus, "commercial project that will eventually be released in Steam".

Besides being clear and easy to use, one of its popular features is the scene editor, which provides a scene preview as demonstrated in this example:

StationIapetus is also big enough.

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.

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.

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 .
