Bevy 0.20 is out now! It features Solari and DLSS improvements, better BSN syntax, BSN "ready" events, WESL is now Bevy's shader language, more UI widgets (color picker, scrollable list views, dropdowns), Sprite Materials, Extended 2D materials, Pan Orbit Camera, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-...

Bevy 0.19 is out now! It features Next Generation Scenes, Render Bigger Scenes Faster, Contact Shadows, More Feathers Widgets, Text Input, Richer Text, App Settings, Post Processing Effects, Improved Skinned Mesh Culling, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19

Finally got my holographic radiance cascade implementation working. Now to optimise and integrate with bevy and build the shaders to start making this look non-photorealistic. #vfx #graphicsprogramming

My fork of Bevy Hanabi, Hanabi-Batched, has been updated to support 0.18 and has many more improvements, such as lookup textures, PBR particles, and GPU mergesort for ribbons: github.com/pcwalton/bev... If you're looking for a way to use Hanabi on 0.18, feel free to grab it!

I just released version 0.5 of Avian, an ECS-driven physics engine for @bevy.org. This is the first update under our new release process, where we publish Bevy version updates separately from feature releases. As always, an announcement post can be found here: joonaa.dev/blog/11/avia...

just opened up my render graph as systems pr. this is a massive and potentially controversial change to replace bevy's render graph with system schedules! github.com/bevyengine/b...

Bevy 0.18 is out now! It features Atmosphere Occlusion and PBR Shading, Generalized Atmospheric Scattering Media, Solari features, PBR Fixes, Font Variations, Automatic Directional Navigation, Fullscreen Materials, Cargo Feature Collections, Camera Controllers, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-...

New post! "Realtime Raytracing in Bevy 0.18 (Solari)" jms55.github.io/posts/2025-1...

Avian finally has built-in move and slide, the movement and collision algorithm at the heart of kinematic character controllers! #bevy #gamedev #physics #kcc PR: github.com/avianphysics...

Real life has kept me from posting, but I've still been hard at work on Bevy Solari! It now supports specular materials, and has a _way_ improved world cache! Realtime vs pathtraced reference

New #rustlang blog post, about "move expressions", an idea that came up after my last post on ergonomic ref counting: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/bl...

Observer filters in Bevy with EntityCommandsTrigger doesn't do what most people expect it to. Here's some experimentation in enabling `On<Event, Filter>` style observers to power the separation of observer functions that target different types of entities www.christopherbiscardi.com/bevy-observe...

I just released version 0.4 of Avian, an ECS-driven physics engine for @bevy.org. This is the biggest release yet, featuring 3x performance(!), overhauled forces and joints, voxel colliders, Bevy 0.17 support, and much more. As always, release notes can be found here: joonaa.dev/blog/09/avia...

Bevy 0.17 is out now! It features Raytracing, Improved Observers / Events, UI Widgets, Rust Hotpatching, Light Textures, DLSS, Tilemap Chunks, Web Assets, Reflect Auto-Registration, UI Gradients, Raymarched Atmosphere, Virtual Geometry BVH Culling, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-17

I finally figured out how to screen record so I can post my progress again lol I finished the main cast's directional sprites a while ago! (Some minor tweaks pending)... Gonna post some animations soon! Featured here: Minnie, Solstice Laetitia, Farris #indiegame #devlog #pixelart #codetta

New blog post: "Realtime Raytracing in Bevy 0.17 (Solari)" jms55.github.io/posts/2025-0...

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...

crates.io/crates/dlss_... Just published my open source crate for using DLSS in wgpu! Supports both super resolution and ray reconstruction. Also look forward to DLSS support in the upcoming Bevy 0.17 release!

Today 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.org/news/bevys-f...

Premier set! Tune in to listen to my very first original song, Bubble Burst! Please look forward to it! Date 7/19 - 9pm EST!! youtu.be/rHjbma3dJio 𓆠Lyrics & Vocals→ HippyFishy 𓆠Arrangement/Mixing→ @minniemoog.me 𓆠Mastering→ ‪‪@luvgiantrobots.bsky.social‬ Thank you sooo much for your support!

Come and listen with us this Saturday night! Very excited for my friend Hippy Fishy's debut! Their vocal work and creative direction are incredible! I acted as the arranger/producer on this one, so you'll get to hear me flex my music muscles. 💖In classic me fashion, it's a loooong soooong. 😊

Ocean level breakdown 🌊 Never posted this on Bluesky so here it is o/ #pixelart #indiedev #GameMaker

experimenting with bevy_hanabi and using particles to emit lights into the GI system. way over the top but i kind of love it #codetta #bevyengine #gamedev

Bevy Jam #6 is now in the voting period! Go play and rate some games! itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-6

got emissive sprites wired up and working! tried out making the player emissive and i think it's pretty neat (but too flickery). this has been so satisfying to build #codetta #gamedev #bevyengine

there are a bunch of visual artifacts due to my many rookie mistakes, but i _finally_ have the whole stack working together! real-time 2D GI with radiance cascades! #gamdev #bevyengine

bevy_smud (sdf shape rendering for Bevy) is back from the dead. I ported from Bevy 0.14 to 0.16. Getting tonemap support working turned out to be the biggest hurdle this time around. Everything seems to be running *smoothly* :P github.com/johanhelsing... #rustlang #gamedev #bevyengine

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.

i've been slowly learning to write shaders in #bevy and i'm working my way towards a 2D GI solution with radiance cascades. finally got my SDF calculation composited with the rest of the scene and it feels so goood! #gamedev #bevy

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! bevyengine.org/news/bevy-0-...

Another mockup in my grayscale series! This time, it's an interior test environment. #devlog #indiegame #pixelart #horror #codetta

Grayscale screenshot of my game's main hub: ✨ Capella Town! ⭐ I'm doing a variety of grayscale mockups before finalizing the color palette, so I'll be posting more of these soon. 😊 #devlog #indiegame #pixelart #codetta

Here are a few sprite variants I've done for the characters since my last post... Still working out what size will be best overall, but I'd like to believe these are showcasing improvement in my pixel art skills! :) Feedback and questions welcome! #devlog #indiegame #pixelart

Been working really hard on my game lately, and I've gotten a ton of sprites done. I've only just started learning pixel art, but it's a lot of fun so far! Here's a quick look at the main characters... #devlog #indiegame #pixelart

Don’t be alarmed if you see Jill Stein rifling through your trash bins! She is in hyperphagia and needs to consume 20,000 calories a day before hibernating for the next 3 years

torcado.com/cleanEdge/ I found it! it was a ferret not a duck lol

okay like a month ago i saw someone post a shader that could rotate pixel art style sprites very cleanly and had a nice web based demo with a duck i think. can anyone help me find it, because i didn’t save it apparently 😭 #gamedev #pixelart #bookmarksplz

@gameengines.bsky.social I would like the “Custom/In-house engine” and “Pixi.js” label, please!

recently made the decision to switch off Unity in favor of a custom engine, and i'm thrilled with how quickly i've been able to put together the bones of an editor. it's been so freeing to just do what i know i'll need #gamedev #indiedev

Hi everyone and #indiedevelopers. I have two starter packs filled with indiegames. Let me know if you want to be on it. When I have the time I keep adding them myself, but I got also busy with other stuff. There is no being full will just make a part 3. go.bsky.app/QLKgTNT go.bsky.app/3GZtXLh

i think i’m ready to build my own (2d) game engine, what do i call it #gamedev

neither are new, but i had hoped to aim a little higher

distributed systems man. why do we do this to ourselves

Get 20 atmospheric and emotional tracks for $25 with "The Light Pack" 🎵Here is another track. If you like this, check the comments to find more! :) RPs are greatly appreciated as the algorithm hates me ❤️ #indiedev #gamedev #composer

I’m just here to chew gum and make bizarrely niche games that are riffs on forgotten titles only I really enjoyed thirty years ago and I’m all out of gum

Hey 🦦 Just started this starter pack of indie game devs (or anyone working on cool games or tools ^^) go.bsky.app/Cv5m4UM If you’d like to be added, drop a comment and I’ll add you 🦦 #indiegamedev
