I see a lot of work being done on rust game engines / ecs crates / frameworks etc but I don’t think I’ve heard about an actual successful game launched based on the rust game dev ecosystem.
Are there any good examples?
Don’t get me wrong, bevy looks fantastic but I feel like rust is not the best language for game development. It is hard to do fast paced prototyping using rust. It is hard to do shitty things you might need to do like juggling memory in a definitely unsafe way.
And it also looks like ECS is not a nice to have but a must have in rust game dev. Borrow checker will not be your friend otherwise.
I might be completely wrong though. Also, I’m not a game dev, just interested in the concepts around it. Anyone successfully developing a game (that is not a basic space shooter) in rust?
