+### [Arsenal Game Engine][arsenal]
+
+[Arsenal] is the concept for a 2D and 3D game engine that is fully integrated
+with [Blender] and built on a Rust core. The engine will be built around an
+entity component system ( probably [Shipyard] ) for its performance and game
+design advantages. The vision of Arsenal is to build an Open Source game engine
+that is suitable for games of any scale and that is easily approachable by a
+wide audience of both complete beginners and seasoned experts.
+
+Arsenal currently has a [POC][ars_poc] working, but there is no support for
+adding custom game logic. The next major step for Arsenal is to get initial
+[scripting support][ship_script_support] in Shipyard. The scripting plan for
+Arsenal borrows heavily from the [Amethyst scripting RFC][amethyst_scrpt_rfc]
+with the first target scripting language being Python. Other languages that are
+candidates for being added later are be [Mun], Lua, and maybe other languages
+written in Rust such as [Gluon].
+
+More information on the Arsenal development direction can be found in the latest
+Arsenal development [blog post][arsenal_update].
+
+[Katharos Technology][ktech] has gone live on [GitHub Sponsors][ghs_ktech] as a
+means to fund development of the development of the [Arsenal] game engine and
+supporting Rust gamedev libraries and tools such as [GFX], and [WGPU].
