Observer filters in Bevy with EntityCommandsTrigger doesn't do what most people expect it to. Here's some experimentation in enabling `On` style observers to power the separation of observer functions that target different types of entities

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:

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

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!

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. 😊

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

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

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!

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!

One of the greatest design choices in videogame history was creating a character in Morrowind and getting a bunch of boring world building and then immediately a wizard falls to his death carrying a bunch of scrolls that let you jump 9000 feet in the air and do the same thing he did

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...
