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.

Rust β Are We Game Yet?
These are issues that I'm aware of that are "tracking" the status of Rust on console:
* <https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90>
* <https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-ecosystem/issues/18>
I say scare quote tracking because due to the nature of console NDAs it's unlikely you'll see much if any useful details in an open public forum.
The issues aren't dissimilar to those facing Godot (although it has the benefit it's able to use existing C++ compilers) and the project has previously outlined some of the issues involved:
* <https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.0/tutorials/platform/conso...>
* <https://godotengine.org/article/godot-consoles-all-you-need-...>
The current "solution" seems to be console-related development activity occurring via the recently established W4 Games (https://w4games.com/2023/02/28/godot-support-for-consoles-is...) but that's obviously never going to be openly developed without console platform approval (same as any other game engine).

I want to make a game thatβs compatible with Nintendo switch.
If as me (I am not using Rust to make commercial games yet, though), you accept that you won't be attempting to port itself to a console and let some third-party do it for you, you'll discover that there is already some discussion about it, people already managed to get it working on major consoles, but so far there are no publisher or other company officially doing port of Rust games.

Kind of quiet. So, my wishlist
A fast, Rust, JPEG 2000 decoder. Details here. The available options have either performance, cost, or licensing problems. I just need the decode part for classic JPEG 2000 at multi-resolution. Don't need tiles or video.

Bevy 0.9: data oriented game engine built in Rust
> Game developers should be investing their time in open tooling without contracts or restrictive licensing
Unfortunately, this is not possible in consoles, because of issues with NDA. Even Bevy can't have an open licensing there: https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90 (Godot also can't: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/co...)
I expect that Bevy ports to consoles will take a cut of sales rather than a flat fee :(

GameDev WG: Rust game ports welcomes your game examples
rust-game-ports is now officially supported by the Rust GameDev WG. By having this repo on neutral ground, we want to invite the Rust gamedev community to contribute additional game examples to this bundle, so we may collectively expand our comparison-matrix of similar/same games made in different engines. A bit like the realworld app taken one step further.

Current state of game console support?
https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90 ("Rust on Consoles")
gdnative
- Can someone explain how exactly are multiple languages supported in a single game engine
- Will rust ever become a first class citizen in Godot?
-
Non web-based crossplatform GUI frameworks focused on security
It's a little less standard use, but Godot has been used to build application guis, which could be paired with rust bindings to implement app logic. I can't speak to reproducibility/scalability, but Godot's ui is extremely solid, and I'd probably choose that over Bevy until Bevy's ui progress matures.
-
What is Rust's potential in game development?
Adding onto this, I successfully written a game in Godot using gdnative / gdext. I started with a split approach using gdscript and rust for CPU intensive but found that the API layer was slow at transferring large amounts of data (serialization?). I ended up rewriting it in all rust and it worked like a charm. I was able to target native and web assembly, the web assembly was much slower but worked on the browser.

Why is it so difficult to learn to use Bevy?
Check this: https://github.com/tomuxmon/bevy_roguelike if you are still into bevy. Scheduling is a bit bork and I have not found time to port it to latest bevy. But most of the systems should work fine(if used on latest bevy). But again. If you want faster result go with something like Godot. In fact, just go with Godot. It is mature, easy to start, no lock in(free and MIT license), a lot of learning material. Also with Godot you can also use Rust https://godot-rust.github.io/. Ditch Unity (do not have time to explain π ). Have fun!

GDScript is fine
Bevy Godot-Rust

Rust β Are We Game Yet?
> Same for Godot.
While likely true that it's "Unlikely to ever be as supported" as the 4 officially supported languages[0] ("GDScript, C#, and, via its GDExtension technology, C and C++."), Godot's GDExtension technology is specifically intended for use in adding support for other languages.
The most relevant tracking issue for Rust is presumably:
* <https://github.com/godot-rust/gdnative/issues/824>
Which links to:
* <https://github.com/godot-rust/gdextension>

OK so whose gonna tell them
...Godot v3.x has Rust support via godot-rust and Godot v4.0 is released as of this month?

I was curious, and looked it up. Nothing built in, but there's an interesting project that works with godot: https://godot-rust.github.io/
