Summary

The website https://arewegameyet.rs asks the question, "Is Rust ready for game development?" and answers with, "Almost." Respectfully, because it's a really cool site, I disagree. We have all of the tools that JavaScript developers had a few years ago, with all the advantages of an excellent type system and Wasm. We have far more tools than developers have had for most of game development history, and while we may not have our Unity or Unreal yet, we have everything we need to build our own. So, go out there, build your own games, extend the engine, and have fun! I hope I hear from you with far better games than this one. If you need help, want to show off your games, or just want to hang out with like-minded people, you can find me on the Rustacean Station Discord at https://discord.gg/cHc3Gyc. You can always find me as @paytonrules on Twitter, and I'd be really excited to hear from you.
