Newsletter 28: November 2021

tags: newsletter

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

Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter with November news!

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 šŸ’Æ 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 šŸ†“ 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 šŸ˜„

Current Schedule

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

āš ļø 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).

cart commented 2 years ago

Bevy didn't have a release this month, so I'll hold off on sharing renderer updates.

Tarnadas commented 2 years ago

I'll write about Shroom Kingdom

Im-Oab commented 2 years ago

I have some updates for Flesh game. :)

AlbinSjoegren commented 2 years ago

I will take SPV again, still no crate version so it would go under Tooling Updates again

dabreegster commented 2 years ago

Sorry, I'm in the middle of moving continents and not likely to make an A/B Street update this month. Also the focus of the project hasn't been on gamification in quite a while, although there is some vague plan to try that again in the future (to get residents involved in planning low-traffic neighborhoods).

Bauxitedev commented 2 years ago

I'll write a bit about Bendyworm.

p4ymak commented 2 years ago

I'll write about PickPicPack.

anopara commented 2 years ago

I can write country-slice šŸ™‚ (and thank you for the mention!)

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

taking oxygengine and navmesh

LechintanTudor commented 2 years ago

I covered Sparsey 0.5 in the last newsletter and 0.6 will take a bit more time to complete. So no update from me this time :)

PSteinhaus commented 2 years ago

There's not that much to say about ggez 0.7. I plan on releasing 0.8 this month though, so I'll probably write a bit about both releases in the december newsletter.

Syn-Nine commented 2 years ago

I'll take Halloween Mahjong Solitaire, thanks for the mention!

h3r2tic commented 2 years ago

Thanks for suggesting kajiya ā¤ ... however I'd rather hold off on that until it actually goes open source. Supposed to be very soon now, but I'm still waiting for some approvals.

Ralith commented 2 years ago

Took Quinn and hecs.

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

@logicsoup just pinging in case @johann2 isn't able to do Idu :)

experiment9123 commented 2 years ago

i can write a little update for 'Rust Shooter'

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

Just a reminder to people that today is the deadline!

(@Tarnadas @experiment9123 @PsichiX @AlbinSjoegren @p4ymak) Looks like you have sections as WIP for you

(@MasonRemaley @setzer22 @smokku @dezajno @I3ck @johann2 @vrmiguel @thebracket @raphlinus @Lokathor @harshvishu @mrDIMAS @not-fl3 @oskargustafsson @Keavon @ziyasal @RDambrosio016) Looks like you have sections that you can take if you're available/have updates šŸ™‚

Also, if you have extra time today, feel free to take a few free sections!

Try doing a pull request and not a push (pull your fork).

johann2 commented 2 years ago

I'm doing Idu, I hope it's not too late

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

got my job done for today, gonna need ~30 minutes to write my part :D

Keavon commented 2 years ago

Finishing up writing Graphite's piece as soon as I wake up. Don't let this block the release though, proceed without it if I'm not done in time.

setzer22 commented 2 years ago

No update from me this month, probably the next one! :smile:

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

btw. what are guides on ordering? bc i always place my notes in order defined in main issue, but sometimes my bits gets reordered.

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

@PsichiX When I'm editor, I order content based on which PR is made first for each section, unless one requires changes, in which case I take it out of the queue :) Since this is resolved at merge-time, and often has to be changed anyways when I have to merge several PRs at the same time, I haven't explicitly stated it in writing.

I try to also use it as incentive for authors to get their posts done more quickly :)

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

Taking Rustacean Station, Ralph's Posts, and Rust-Cuda

ozkriff commented 2 years ago

I'll try to quickly write out "Combine And Conquer", "Endless Trial", "Hands-on Rust Bonus Content", "Rust Roguelike Tutorial ", and "Solid Editor".

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

I try to also use it as incentive for authors to get their posts done more quickly :)

that's something worth noting in the newsletter issues or readme šŸ˜…

Keavon commented 2 years ago

Would it be alright to keep...

...in the Requests for Contribution section?

halvnykterist commented 2 years ago

I'd like to add a section for paddlepunks if it's not too late!

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

The final draft is up, feel free to take a look and comment on any issues you come across!

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

Rust CUDA seems to have missing link in the title - [Rust CUDA]

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

@PsichiX Sorry, can I get you to repost that on #887? My bad for not including the link :sweat_smile:

PsichiX commented 2 years ago

i mean i's not mine, i just found weird formatting and dunno what the link is :D

PsichiX commented 2 years ago
