I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

I don't disagree with the premise here, @paultassi.bsky.social. I think the lack of audio for some conversations at the start of this episode really screams unprofessionalism to me. I often use subtitles, but I rely on audio for certain cues, esp. surrounding lore.

Seriously? I like subtitles on, tbh, but this seems kinda bush league... Especially in a make-or-break year for destiny.

I love the retro futurism in this movie. It made me think that maybe it's time for a Jetsons movie.

I don't see any reason that Frontiers would be able to be out in a shorter time than the 1.5 years between expansions normally, so yeah, long Episode is my guess

Eliminate `NonSend` resources by making `World` optionally `!Send` using generics Β· Issue #17517 Β· bevyengine/bevy What problem does this solve or what need does it fill? NonSend resources are confusing (they don't impl Resource!), badly named (#13481), require API duplication and hamper us when implementing va...

I definitely wasn't planning it today, but we somehow stumbled across a working design and consensus for one of #bevy 's thorniest #ecs problems: the storage of non-threadsafe data (`!Send`, for #rustlang). Make the entire `World` optionally thread-safe / unsafe, using a generic type parameter!

Having worked on graphics engines in C++ in the past, I find that ECS is a bit of a different beast to wrap my head around. I'm sure it'll be easier once I get used to it.

@alice-i-cecile.bsky.social Do you happen to have a good tutorial for transform animations in 2D using Bevy (i.e. the best way to show a walk cycle for a sprite while moving the sprite)? I was trying to use github.com/Double-Dot-I... as a plugin, but I'm having some issues where it's not animating.

I love how #duolingo over the past few years of marketing has gone from "awe that's a cute owl" to "omg I need to get my lessons done or this owl is going to mess me up" lately. :joy:

I landed my dream job making a Rust game engine. Now what? Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
