Learning Game Development the Hard Way with Rust and Bevy

Presentation: Learning Game Development the Hard Way with Rust and Bevy

Coming from blockchain engineering, building a game in Rust and Bevy pushed me into a very different kind of software development. As a first-time game developer, I had to learn not only how to build gameplay systems, but also how to create the tools and workflows needed to keep the project moving.

This talk is about the pain, surprises, and lessons I found while building a game with Bevy, and how that process helped me grow as an engineer. I’ll share what it taught me about iteration, tooling, real-time systems, and designing software that can actually become a playable experience.

Round the room—something to share?

The purpose of this meeting is to present a technical topic people can talk about and then provide an opportunity for people to share. The meeting is scheduled for an hour, but may end early.
