+
+[Cargo Space][cargospace] ([Discord][cargospace_discord]) by
+[@johanhelsing][johanhelsing_mastodon] is a co-op 2d space game where you build a
+ship and fly it through space looking for new parts, fighting pirates and the
+environment.
+
+Johan wrote [an introductory post][cargospace_devlog_0] about the design idea,
+and a tentative plan for its development.
+
+The first step was to make an initial offline single-player prototype. This is
+covered in the [first devlog][cargospace_devlog_1] along with topics such as
+procedural generation, 2d platforming, bloom, and various community Bevy crates,
+such as [bevy_ecs_tilemap], [bevy_ecs_ldtk] and [bevy_particle_systems].
+
+The procedural generation needs for the game also resulted in a new crate being born.
+[noisy_bevy] is a CPU and GPU noise plugin for Bevy.
+
+After this, p2p rollback networking was added using [bevy_ggrs] and [Matchbox].
+The [second devlog][cargospace_devlog_2] goes through this in detail, and in
+particular how integration between [bevy_ggrs] and [leafwing_input_manager] was
+implemented.
