i’m so excited for rendering code to be plain systems, i never quite got my head fully around the render graph code

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 certainly wouldn’t want to implement an ECS myself but i find it makes my game code simpler than what i’d write in equivalent systems. but i’d also be lying if i said i didn’t enjoy all the type magic and “puzzle” of getting some of those things to compile and fit together nicely. ;)

010

syynth @syynth.dev · 19/10/2025

i’ve had a very very positive experience integrating LDtk with bevy so far, it uses “tags” a lot, which map cleanly onto components, i don’t know how one would use it for a “big” project otherwise

010

syynth @syynth.dev · 19/10/2025

i definitely find myself taking something that would be a one-off and turn it into a system just due to bevy’s design, but also my brain just works that way. tbh maybe if i used another engine after bevy i’d have new habits that i find improve my experience of iterating without breakage?

010

syynth @syynth.dev · 19/10/2025

that’s a problem, and hopefully getting better with the hot-reloading, but my background in unity has taught me to expect the editor to lock up so i’m just suffering from low expectations, i imagine. occasionally running cargo clean and freeing 80gb is brutal, though

010

syynth @syynth.dev · 19/10/2025

i see this often and believe everyone who says it, but my experience with using rust/bevy for gamedev has been that existing stuff breaks less when i add something new. maybe it’s just my skill issues, but i feel like it helps my iteration speed because something else hasn’t exploded in the process

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...

this is my first time coming across BigBrain but this looks very interesting! i do especially like the fact that it could be asset driven, that’s slowly becoming more important to me as i get deeper into bevy

syynth @syynth.dev · 07/10/2025

separate screenshots would have helped a lot, but i _think_ option C, though depending on how important the values around healthbars really are, i’m not sure i’d love the radial UI there. it looks nice, but feels less easy to read than a plain set of bars. i also like the G layout as a second choice

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

i’ve been looking at this with a lot of interest, but i’m struggling a little with where to apply the ideas. most of the immediate use cases i think of seem to really come back to system sets, where the “openness” is important, or just dependency management is the other obvious use i see

definitely! i’ve felt tricked to realize the code samples it’s giving me are manually implementing traits that have derive macros, etc, but i have learned a lot in the process, too. i plan to spend today rewriting everything to use AsBindGroup and hopefully eliminating a lot of the code i’ve written

i’ve mostly dealt with that by saying “give me the smallest possible change that would get me closer to doing the next thing, in a way that i can test something is working”

tbh i’ve been looking at a variety of sources and examples, and mostly just struggling 😅 sometimes i ask AI to explain things to me and it tells me lies and creates subtle traps i fall for later, and then learn, but it has gotten me unstuck a few times too. bevy discord is friendly as well
