Bevy Hanabi v0.15.0 is out!

Following the usual release pattern, v0.15.0 is a major release with amazing new features:

New "hierarchical" effect feature allowing with GPU spawn event, to allow an effect to trigger particle spawning into another effect
A rewrite of the ribbons/trails implementation with explicit particle sorting. This replaces the confusing "group" API.

Okay, so - a solution that works well for us in #bevy with Orthographic cameras, since we generally design for 1080p and scale + letter/pillarbox as required: https://pastebin.com/S51zTP3C

Basically force `scaling_mode` to `Fixed {width: 1920, height: 1080}` and `scale` to `1.0`

above solution is incomplete, will not play nice on ratios wider than 16:9 or resolutions smaller than 1080p, but works okay on various systems/displays my coworkers and I tested on.

...left as an exercise for the reader

Hey! Are you a student who wants to use #bevy to do #robotics in #rust?

We've just got a job posting for two remote summer internships through the Google Summer of Code! Check it out at https://discourse.ros.org/t/osrf-google-summer-of-code-2025/42653/1, or hunt down `grey` on the Bevy Discord to ask questions directly :)

Looks super cool!

I'm really confused by how Viewports & Windows are supposed to work in #bevy especially on #macOS (or at least on my Macbook Air.)

I request a 1920x1080 "physical size" window - I receive a 3840x2160. Okay, double scale factor, makes sense..

But the actual resolution of the full screen is 2940x1912. So I won't actually get a window that size.

It does update after a frame or two, but then bevy's Window reports a physical size of 2940x1840.

Yuck. How do I get real numbers out of this?

Hey folks! I'd love to know what kind of stuff you are missing in/around the game #OutFly! :)

Some context for the poll options:

"More places" would give you more things to explore, would make space feel a little less empty.

"Cool mechanics" refers to something like landing on a moons, death of NPCs, animated clothing, ability to grab/throw, etc.

"Polishing" could mean intuitive game menus, making a trailer video, performance optimizations, Quality of Life improvements overall.

Added some voice lines for the two different units in my #rts game. I'll probably iterate on this, but its a good placeholder for now.

Hello! It's #bevy Lint Laundry Day, meaning I'll be spending the entirety of today working on the Bevy Linter! I'll be adding updates here showing what goes on behind-the-scenes of a #rust #opensource #gamedev project, which you can find at https://github.com/TheBevyFlock/bevy_cli.

All recordings including the super interesting Panel discussion from our last virtual #Bevy meetup are now live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbvvWoCXmXkJ0IsXZmpaCu-kXHTCjiayE #rustlang #gamedev @bevy

Added a component-style API for bevy_enhanced_input!

It's an input manager crate for Bevy, inspired by Unreal Engine Enhanced Input.

I love our trigger-based API, but the push-style API needed improvement. Previously, users had to read values from a resource - unergonomic and a bit confusing.

Now, contexts are components! This makes our push-style API similar to LWIM while keeping all the trigger-based ergonomics

Presenting myself: Comp Sci bachelor in 2018, then Scala dev. Then #rust dev. mostly on #bevy, both contrib and 3rd party contracting. Culminating with my presentation of compressed datastructures at #rustfest 2024 Zurich.

Today, honestly, I've no idea who I am or what I do. Trying to find a place in the world where I can have a positive impact.

I've made some improvements to my #bevyengine game!

Movement is now interpolated
Camera now follows your character
Objects in the game can now be removed

One thing that stands out with #Bevy is its documentation, the second release candidate for 0.16 also ships the first draft of the migrations guide helping you migrate your crate, library or game now to find any breakage: https://bevyengine.org/learn/migration-guides/0-15-to-0-16/#accessibility

Yesterday I released Unhaunter 0.2.7, and for the first time I added Linux+Windows builds. But I've no idea if the windows ones work or not, so if anyone could try it and let me know if it works...

https://github.com/deavid/unhaunter/releases/tag/v0.2.7

#Bevy 0.16 is close and now supports building for GameBoy Advance https://github.com/bushrat011899/bevy_mod_gba - Thanks to the massive efforts to make the engine no_std compatible! #rustlang #gamedev

Have you missed the last virtual #Bevy meetup livestream? Here is the second recording - Pete talks about his work on beet_flow and beet_rsx or "Intermediate Representations for Reactive Structures" - https://youtu.be/JeXOajFv8Dk #rustlang #gamedev @bevy

Which looks better?

(A) has defined black lines on every edge, while (B) does not. I'm going for a low poly look, but trying to nail down the art style before I make more textures.

Any feedback is appreciated!
