Bevy's Sixth Birthday

Bevy, the open-source Rust game engine, celebrates its sixth birthday with a retrospective from creator Carter Anderson (@cart). Key milestones this year include the release of Bevy 0.17, 0.18, and 0.19, featuring BSN (next-generation scene system), core UI widgets, Bevy Feathers, Solari raytraced lighting, GPU-driven rendering for massive scenes, WESL shader adoption, and an automated metrics system. The project hit 6 million crates.io downloads and 47,529 GitHub stars. Community highlights include Bevy Jam #7, the Jackdaw community editor prototype, and numerous Steam game releases. Looking ahead, priorities are Assets as Entities, the .bsn asset format, and finally shipping an upstream Bevy Editor MVP. The post also addresses challenges including the rocky rollout of the Project Goals system, ongoing AI policy debates, and the Bevy Foundation's continued underfunding.
