At long last, my Next Generation Scenes PR is out for review! This will be a huge step forward for the flexibility and usability of #Bevy scenes. Stoked to finally get this in the hands of the people!

Today (well yesterday technically) is Bevy's fifth birthday! As always, I've used this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the next year of #bevy:

Bevy's Fifth Birthday

Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!

@MevLyshkin I'm pretty sure this used to work. We changed how we do android builds a couple of releases ago. Perhaps something got lost there. This is worth reporting!

If you've been curious about getting started with #rust or #opensource, I cannot recommend #bevy highly enough, as a friendly, skilled, welcoming space to learn and make something worthwhile. Go read https://bevyengine.org/learn/contribute/introduction/

The Bevy community has fundamentally changed my life: thank you all <3

Here is a followup to my previous "consolidate #Bevy microblogging" post, which includes our final decision:

@zkat @LovesTha I would also happily phrase it as "increasing the odds of having wholesome and insightful conversations with people in many walks of life". I promise I'm not some suit trying to maximize profit. Look at my history and my actions. "Reach" and "audience" are just words that many creative people care about (and creative people are our primary audience).
@woozle @zkat I think the technical and social approach employed by Bluesky is more likely to produce the best outcomes for the most people. I do have concerns about the limited federation and their "public benefit corp" model, but I think the solution they have built is fundamentally better. It isn't perfect yet (and never will be), but as a long time member of the fediverse I can say the same is true here.
@woozle @zkat This decision was made through a strong ethical lens, but was communicated in a way that would convince the widest audience possible across platforms (while still largely conveying where I stand). From my perspective, this is what "leading" looks like.

This is a hard, but important conversation that I think the #bevy community needs to have.

It is time to consolidate on Bluesky · bevyengine bevy · Discussion #18150

The maintainers and I have been discussing consolidating our "microblogging social media presence". The current state of affairs is that we have an X account (previously known as Twitter), a Mastod...

@_ I'm glad it spoke to you! The first message also provides important context. Its not enough to stop worrying about things you cant or wont fix. You also _should_ worry about things that you can and will fix, otherwise evil will win!
