Newsletter 14

[ozkriff]

Feel free to suggest sections!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

• Grab one of the "🆓 free" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section_name_1} and {section_name_2}".
• Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 free (@ozkriff?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
• Write a short overview:
  • Use provided links as a starting point.
  • Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
  • Insert line breaks (softbreak) at 80 chars, please.
  • Use third-person pronouns even if you write about your project updates.
  • DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
• Send a PR to the source branch (example: Newsletter 7: Rhea, Oxidator, Dwarfs, Univer, Cat #75)
  • Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

I'm hoping to release this newsletter on 2020.10.06, so the soft deadline for all section PRs is 2020.10.04.
The newsletter will be published on 2020.10.07.

[ozkriff]

📜 Updated the structure/list of sections!

[krupitskas]

I'd like to take An OpenGL preprocessor for Rust (1)

[adamnemecek]

I'll take femtovg.

[Terkwood]

I will submit an update about BUGOUT. ⚫⚪🐛 Thank you.

[LPGhatguy]

I can submit updates about my tagged libraries here!

[troligtvis]

I will add an overview of my game in the Bevy section :)

[miolad]

Hi, I'm the author of this demo, and I've been proposed to add an entry in the newsletter about it, count me in!

[cdsupina]

@tigleym and I would like to write a game update section on the progress made on space_shooter_rs.

[hugopeixoto]

I'll write the update for "Rust, gamedev, ECS, and bevy"

[thebracket]

I'd be willing to contribute an update for Nox Futura, a small update for bracket-lib, and ideally sneak in a mention of the book I'm about to release (I should be NDA free by the time this is due, if not it'll have to wait a month).

[andii1701]

I'll write up my own game, Tetris Bane

[ozkriff]

Ping @AngelOnFira @not-fl3 @thebracket @termhn - how're your sections going? :)

[ozkriff]

Btw, are there any volunteers to take some of the sections that are still free?

[AngelOnFira]

@ozkriff I have a decent amount of time today, most of the remaining items look like they're free with someone that might do it. Can you assign, say 3, to me?

[thebracket]

My plan is to get something put together today. I presented at the Roguelike Celebration this weekend, so that ate *all* my time.
