Community Reflection on Bevy's Fifth Year

@cart here (Bevy's creator and Project Lead) with another update! A month ago was Bevy's Fifth Birthday! As is tradition, I took that as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the future. You can read that in my Bevy's Fifth Birthday post.

I also encouraged the Bevy community to write their own reflections on Bevy's fifth year in a similar style, and to post them here.

What is Bevy? #

For those who don't know, Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine and app framework built in Rust. Bevy is also free and open source forever! You can grab the full source code on GitHub. We have a Quick Start Guide. You can also check out Bevy Assets for a library of community-developed plugins, crates, games, and learning resources.
