I will take the OpenCombat game update.
So happy we are back in game!
@mamaicode agreed :D I'm currently writing a little call for submissions to spread on social media. Update: Done!
Happy to see the newsletter running again!
I can write something up for my talk.
The deadline for a April issue is May 3rd. you have a time machine, or should that be the May issue?

The April issue covers news that happened in April, but is released in May. That's not to say they don't have a time machine, though
Exactly. The plan for next month is to start on the 3rd, have the deadline on the 28th and then release the newsletter and start the next call for submissions on the 3rd again :)
See #1482
Excited for this month! gonna start the video recording as soon as deadline reaches 💪🏼
I have another SHMUP game that I am making after Flesh
is released.
Hi, I took the liberty of adding my little game that has recently been released ;)
Hi all, saw this mentioned in the Hands On Rust book, but can't find how I sign up to the newsletter. Can someone kindly share the link? Thanks!
@ghenry the newsletter itself is hosted on https://gamedev.rs and there's an RSS feed at https://gamedev.rs/rss.xml There's no email subscription yet. If you want to have the newsletter arrive in a Discord channel, I think there's something you could do by subscribing to another channel. Let me know if that is something you'd be interested in.
Thanks. What do these guys use? https://this-week-in-rust.org/
Do you need a sponsor? I used to life feedburner for this type of thing.
@ghenry I think this week in rust gets their feed from reddit as well as I've seen several threads there. For newsletter, there are a lot of open source services that can handle email bulk push such as postal. Sendgrid, mailgun, postmark, ... works too
perhaps opening a new issue about it could get some eyes and possible implementations?
That issue already exists since 5 years haha #24 I'd like to see this, but I haven't got the necessary knowledge or time to implement it. I'm very open to reviewing anything people might contribute ASAP though :)
oh I didn't notice that, it is possible and quite easy but main issue is IP being blocked by some services like google if enough people put it to spam. Thats why hosting services don't offer mail server DNS option. Linode used to allow it.
We can use something like mailchip, Sendgrid, mailgun, postmark, ... They are not open source but 100% can work. Can send email through GH action even
Hi, I've just remembered that I also did recently some small write-up about issues related to Android targeting. I use some obsolete solutions like cargo-apk - so not sure it's all that relevant. But if you'd think it's useful I can also make a PR for that. https://maciejglowka.com/blog/building-games-for-android-with-rust/
@maciekglowka yes please! That definitely looks relevant :)

The first draft of the release is now done at https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/pull/1496. Feedback is welcome :)
