Bevy 0.18.1 is out now!
This is a point release containing non-breaking fixes to bugs, documentation, and the occasional tiny utility function.
github.com/bevyengine/b...
To update from Bevy 0.18.0, just run "cargo update"
re-implemented hit impacts, now with some wobble :p
enemies simply react to the damage direction, while the player have extra logic for frontal hits & for the arms to stay (kinda) in place

Abysm today: Fixed a couple of small bugs, and updated the tile set of the final episode to make it more varied and detailed.
#SteamNextFest is over but my demo stays up, so please try it out this #DemoMonday: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180

Hello Bluesky, my name is Jim. I'm making a farming sim set in rural Ireland. It has parish life, feast days, stone walls, and sheep. Here are some of the menus. There's a demo on itch if you want to try it. I'm having a lot of fun making it.

Finally finished some smooth animation graph fusing @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social animation example and bevy_ahoy KCC
unexpected #gamedev insight - loved longer transition time because they show blending better
I still think modern devs massively overuse them, but now I understand why.

Another Monday, another #bevymergetrain! In this week's round-up review of open source Rust PRs for the game engine I help maintain, we have 6 digressions on DAG-style ordering, what a white furnace test is, the value of "fix-it in follow-up" and how much to test! gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...
** Speaker announcement ** At RustWeek 2026, Alice Cecile makes the case for open code review: distributing responsibility and nurturing growth.

The last update was a while ago, so here's the current status: Over the last few weeks I've been working a lot on Wild Spikes and introduced a layered structure to keep technical details out of the game code.

I've implemented dead zone and linearity settings for analog controls. I expected it to be a 15 minute job, took 2 whole days. It's a little rough at the moment, but the feature is released in the latest patch. Go try it out!

For people working in the #Bevy ecosystem I just wrote a simple little site that lets you explore the bevy #crate ecosystem filtering by bevy version. Quite happy with the search system. Itโs very basic but I am happy to make improvements and plan on it. bevydex.dev/dex
Started trying to solve a minor bug of players getting mixed up
Ended up making my own gamepad-compatible UI framework with animations and localization: www.slowrush.dev/news/uis-pla...
Taffy-powered, iced-inspired: immediate API, retained UI under the hood (tree diffing)

excited for moon to talk about some of the work we've been doing!
Graphics programming is such a weird beast
Even when you stuff it up you get cool results
Here the radiance cascades lighting for my #noita -like suddenly gained a disco mode, but only at certain screen resolutions

Howdy, it's been awhile!
We're back and ready with Saturday @ Second Half #42 - #58 โ Ground Control to Major Tom!

Accidentally got a parallax terrain effect for my #noita -like
Except it's in front of terrain instead of behind it
Definitely file under "shader accidents not worth keeping"
#gamedev #indiedev #shaders
I've been working on Exit 3A: The Game (a game about an interstate exit in Charlotte) using the #bevy game engine and got invited to a local event to showcase the game and it was really cool
Another milestone reached.
Algorithmic terrain with algorithmic textures
3 more reusable libraries and another end-user application.

Working on a new aircraft in the simulator. I still have to improve the flight model, but it'll be online in a few days.
I used this code as inspiration: https://gist.github.com/Hermitao/0a908f8af19b11132e3bdb5ba4ef99f0

Really excited about the performance benefits coming in Bevy for mega-worlds. With all my patches we're starting to be able to render millions of mesh instance entities with hundreds of thousands in view with just a handful of drawcalls.
I'm trying something a little different for this week's #bevymergetrain (a weekly roundup of @bevy.org's community-approved Rust PRs, with educational gamedev and project management yapping).
27 PRs to peruse! gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...
1.6M cubes, nested queries, new contributors, bad jokes!
Today's work for @bevy.org: create a revised design doc for a first-party entity inspector. I'm happy with the front-end/back-end architecture split, and we're ready to start polishing and upstreaming it. Writing really helps me think!
I'd love feedback on it over at: hackmd.io/tj99FqRITOGj...
working on player controls a bit.
You still get (slowed) movement while playing the attack animation. If you're using a mouse you face the mouse while the attack is playing.
Its all component-based, so a charged attack could allow facing the mouse while charging before triggering.
New beautiful wheel particle effects were added in beaterCore Demo 0.0.16!
Play the demo on Steam now!

On the way to implementing Particle Level Set. Particles are passively advected by the fluid velocity currently. #bevy
Not really as cool as proper ray-traced audio but obstacles and terrain now modify the sound volume. You can hear how engines get louder as cars get in sight
Coming soon into beaterCore!

It is quite interesting to monitor massive unit interactions. Thanks to the community's feedback, Iโm gonna make a game based on this jam project and see where it can go.

I'm doing a little relaxing #gamedev trying to do a hexa-voxel-world. I'm playing with smoothing the terrain. However... smooth it just feels off, doesn't it? ๐ #bevy
Abysm today: Added another couple of achievements and updated the store page with some new screenshots, like this one.
Play the #NextFest demo and wishlist today: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180
