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.

Meta Releases Intermediate Graphics Library
The WGPU people are still working through lock conflicts in that area. The idea with Vulkan land is that you should be able to load content while rendering is in progress. For that to be useful, all the layers above Vulkan also have to have their locking problems hammered out. Most open source game engines don't do that yet. Unreal Engine and Unity do, which is why you pay for them for your AAA title.

Is bevy the best option for a Rust based game engine (long term)?
The big problem I have with bevy here is that they seem to be very much against bevy being reusable across the ecosystem. Every feature has to be bevyfied into an ECS thing. There's no way one can use bevy_input for input handling outside of bevy, or bevy_audio for audio, or bevy_render to get a 3d renderer like https://rend3.rs/. The Rust ecosystem would've been so much better off if bevy wasn't creating a walled garden and draining insane amounts of effort just for itself, but say instead used rend3 for its rendering, so that other efforts in rust gamedev didn't have to reimplement everything from scratch.

NANOVOID Devlog #1: Lua Scripting
We have our own engine. There aren't really full engines available in the Rust ecosystem. Bevy attempts to fill this, but it's far from being feature complete. There's also https://fyrox.rs/, but that's also work in progress. There's also https://rend3.rs/ which is just a 3d renderer, so you'll need to build the rest of the engine yourself.
- Really frustrated. [Warning: Bit of a negative rant]

We're still not game, but there has been progress. A progress report.
That's been fixed. It was one of those things where a complicated workaround for Rust's ownership rules, one that required maintaining internal consistency between multiple tables, was inconsistent.

We're not really game yet.
Rend3 crashes The library's internal memory allocator for GPU objects is losing objects and panicking. This seems to be a race condition that comes up once you get past displaying static scenes and start having moving objects. Rend3 has one overworked main developer. If you're qualified to work on GPU-level stuff, which I am not, that project could use help.

Simple crate for 3d rendering and transforms
I may be a little biased, but I'd recommend Rend3. Once you have the boilerplate code, adding a new shape is as easy as

wgpu_glyph VS wgpu-text - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 27 Mar 2022
wgpu-text is similar to wgpu_glyph but simpler. It provides basic text rendering and is still being worked on for new features.
What are some alternatives?
wgpu - Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.
wgpu_glyph - A fast text renderer for wgpu (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu)
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
bevy_retro - Plugin pack for making 2D games with Bevy
wgpu-practice
rusttype - Mirror of https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/rusttype
three-d - 2D/3D renderer - makes it simple to draw stuff across platforms (including web)
glyphon - 🦅🦁 Fast, simple 2D text renderer for wgpu
Neothesia - Flashy Synthesia Like Software For Linux,Windows and MacOs
OpenSubdiv - An Open-Source subdivision surface library.
rui - Declarative Rust UI library
