After years of yelling into the void, the void finally answered our call! The Bevy Foundation has acquired the bevy.org domain, and as of today it is live as our official domain!
Everything has been updated, including our Bluesky handle (which is now @bevy.org) and all official emails.

All this chatter about how Rust is supposedly bad for game development is the exact same chatter I used to read about how Rust is bad for server-side apps, or desktop apps, or OS kernels, or libraries to be called from C, etc. etc. 1/2

Really excited about this release. The performance wins were HUGE this cycle, and we've made a lot of progress on the app development user experience.
Bevy 0.16 is out now! It features GPU-Driven Rendering, Procedural Atmospheric Scattering, Decals, Occlusion Culling, Relationships, Better Spawning, Unified Error Handling, `no_std`, Faster Transform Propagation, and more!

Did some work on Bevy's catch-all (anyhow-style) error type today. I figured we might as well take advantage of the fact that we can be opinionated and fix the "stack trace noise problem".
If you're familiar with the current state of affairs this will look blissfully simple to you.

My ECS Relationships PR just landed in #bevy!
In addition to vastly improving Bevy's built in Parent/Children system, it also opens the doors to custom user-defined relationships, enabling people to easily "connect" entities to each other.
Next for me is reactivity and Bevy's new scene system!

The future of gamedev is open. @bevyengine.org isn’t ready to replace Unity yet, but the value of making steady forward progress, fully decoupled from the need to monetize, with development driven by the community is clear. Not “fully owning” the platform you build on is a liability.
Why does Unity keep making reasons for people to avoid it? All they gotta do is make engine, support devs, and charge in a way where you don't suddenly go out of business over your engine choice.
On this episode of "Unity fucks up", apparently client revenue counts towards your own? Is that true?

So Unity recently decided that the tiny startup I dayjob for needed to upgrade to Industry at 5k/year/seat. We had no chance to contest it because they would have killed our only product. They even threatened people we worked with in the past with the same.
It's not just us.
DO NOT USE UNITY!
