![]() It’s common knowledge now that this model is best suited for early-stage development when the project’s vision can be most effectively defined by a single individual with a complete overview. This is often called the BDFL model: “Benevolent Dictator For Life”. Now that Bevy is public it will face a lot of the same organizational challenges we’ve tackled already, but Bevy has a fundamentally different approach to how all major architectural decisions are made: Carter makes the final call on all major architectural changes. This has enabled him to do the rewrites we always wanted to do as we learned valuable lessons from our experimentation, because he had the bandwidth and linear focus to implement major changes without disrupting the work of others. Full-time dev with visionīevy’s super power is the simple fact that Carter can afford to be working on it full-time at his own expense. This cohesion comes not from Carter being a better designer (though he’s certainly a good one!) it mostly comes down to fortuitous timing & circumstance. Bevy’s strengthsīevy is not yet at feature parity with Amethyst Engine, but due to its cohesive design it is on track to catch up before long. Bevy is the result of Carter spending copious amounts of time learning about Amethyst Engine in any way possible, including the many design discussions we’ve had on this forum.īevy’s accomplishment is your accomplishment too. There is actually very strong precedent for this: There would be no Bevy without Amethyst EngineĬarter acknowledges this several times in his writing. I’m having an ongoing conversation with Carter, the author of Bevy, about how our two projects can come closer together, and possibly even operate as one. That can sound intimidating since it’s a separate project under different leadership, but I’m convinced this will turn out to be a Good Thing for the entire Rust gamedev community, including the Amethyst project. To put it simply, Bevy is essentially a Amethyst Engine 2.0. I, like everyone else, needed a few days to properly review Bevy and get a better feel for what it brings to the table. A few days ago I just posted this link internally.
