Newsletter 25: August 2021

Editors: @AngelOnFira, @17cupsofcoffee, and @ozkriff

Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter for August!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

As with the last few newsletters, we're trying to delegate the writing workload where we can - to quote @AngelOnFira from a few months ago:

We're also going to be transitioning to having authors or volunteers write about their own content, rather than the editing team doing it all at the end 💯 This means if you want to see your work in the newsletter, you have to write it yourself! If you're not able to write about your work, feel free to comment and I can assign it 🆓 free. We're working on taking some of the load off the editing team where we can with this. Best to keep this sustainable!

Also, we want to make sure contributing to the newsletter feels open to anyone who wants to write a section about their project. If you have anything you can write about, just add a comment to this issue and I'll add it to the todo list 😄

Current Schedule

The soft deadline for all section PRs is the 5th of September. PRs will usually be accepted as long as they are ready before the newsletter's release, but the earlier the better :)

⚠️ The most important formatting/style rules from CONTRIBUTING.md:

Please use these templates as a starting point:

Games/apps/libraries:

### [Game name]

Current Structure & Status

Below is a list of our current planned structure for the newsletter, and the status of each PR (which we'll try to keep updated).

HexyWitch commented 3 years ago

Would it be okay to add a section on Shattersong Online, or are you keeping the newsletter to non-commercial or open source projects? It's being made entirely in rust. We announced it on July 31 but forgot to mention it for the july newsletter. https://triplehex.dev/shattersong-online/

If I can add it, where should the section go, is there some specific ordering?
