+Temple Knight ([Itch.io][tk-itch], [Twitter][tk-twitter])
+by [@nilaysavant] is a 3D FPS game developed using [Bevy].
+You play the role of a knight and protect the temple from raiding automatons.
+
+What began as an experiment to learn game dev in Rust using [Bevy].
+Initially motivated by the visual appeal of a [scene running in the browser via WASM].
+It quickly started taking the shape of a game:
+
+- From adding [Rapier] for [basic physics] to developing mechanics for other entities.
+- Path finding for Automaton's using [control systems].
+- Which was later switched to a deterministic [A-start navmesh approach].
+- Developed mechanics for the player controller including the first-person-camera.
+- Implemented weapon + projectiles systems.
+- Finally [custom shaders for projectiles] were added as a finishing touch.
+
+An experiment that became the first game published by [@nilaysavant].
+Play [Temple Knight] in your browser.
