Tests: Rust has built-in #[test] unit-tests + many 3rd party test frameworks. Godot integration tests need a bit of work though.
Logs: https://t.co/YYvl9rhprL + an ecosystem of actual logging frameworks

So... that's probably a "yes" :)

Ever wondered what games are made with godot-rust?

We now have a page showcasing some in-development and released projects: https://t.co/WeaQBIZik5

Some of them, like Stickyban here, can be played directly on the web!

🚀 godot-rust 0.3 is out!

Type-safe signals: code-generated custom APIs for connecting/emitting both user-defined and Godot's own signals.

You can now also await signals, effectively introducing async tasks into Rust.

And much more!

🚜 gdnative maintenance

Godot 3 Rust bindings are under-maintained. Project scope is "keep things stable while supporting newer Godot 3.x releases", so avoiding big breaking changes or new features.

Who is still using gdnative? Is there interest in assisting with maintenance?

Great article listing many Rust issues.
To keep Rust viable for gamedev, it's important to address these, not deny them, on both lang + library level.
godot-rust values pragmatism over purism, and deviates from common idioms where it helps ergonomics -- sometimes controversially.

I am reworking a bit the TileMap layers as node system before 4.3, and I wanted the community opinion on the design. For now I added a "group" node that holds a TileSet for its child layers, but I feel it might be too much complexity. See each solution there: (poll in comments)

Two months of 2024 have passed, and we haven't been sitting around :)

Recent dev highlights: re-entrancy, virtual script methods, HSV colors, function call diagnostics and much more!
