I just released bevy_immediate! The first immediate mode UI library for Bevy!

Check it out: github.com/PPakalns/bev...

Write UI in Bevy using a simple, egui-inspired immediate mode API, while Bevy's ECS logic handles the heavy lifting. Compatible with Bevy UI!

I wrote about an idea that would make bevy UI a lot easier to use.

About combining existing bevy ui retained mode UI approach with immediate mode UI API. 🚀🚀🚀

Immediate mode UI code is a lot simpler and easier to prototype with!

hot take: talking about "the" bevy editor is a trap... we should focus on building composable, modular tools that deliver incremental value, just like everything else we do in @bevy.org www.charlotte.fyi/posts/toward...
"The" Bevy Editor should not exist

Finally! After building an open-world, multiplayer settlement management game, I’ve added the most requested feature: saving your progress. ❤️

Looks like web has support for running Wasm ( #rust code ) on multiple threads using rayon.

Has someone successfully set up multi threaded execution of Rust code compiled to #Wasm inside standalone runtime like #wasmtime.

I am looking for examples :)

Added Modding Support to Settletopia 🎉

Mods are written in #rustlang, then compiled to #wasm. Mod hot reloading is supported!

Rust’s tooling makes mod development smooth - static type checking, docs, and wide range of available libraries.

Taking some break. I will do something fun. I decided to try to add modding capability to my game. Will see how it goes. :)

Game developed in Rust with mods written in Rust (wasm)!?

To develop well laid out UI for my game I created rust library to support advanced layouts in egui (immediate mode GUI library) powered by taffy.

I set up a steam page for my dream game!

Process took a lot longer than I thought. Didn't expect that I will need to fill out so many forms and to make so many different images. It was a very useful experience to go through all that.

Now I am proud to show it to wider audience. I wrote a blog post about development history: settletopia.com/posts/settle...

I will continue to post updates!
