Description

@ozkriff

opened on Apr 3, 2021

Feel free to suggest sections about any March rust gamedev news and updates!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

  • Grab some 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.
    • DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
  • Send a PR to the source branch (example: N15: A/B Street #336)
    • Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

Quoting @AngelOnFira from the last month's coordination issue:

<...>
We're going to be transitioning to having authors or volunteers write about their own content, rather than the editing team doing it all at the end 100 This means if you want to see your work in the newsletter, you have to write it yourself! If you're not able to write about your work, feel free to comment and I can assign it free free. We're working on taking some of the load off the editing team where we can with this. Best to keep this sustainable!

Also, we want to make sure contributing to the newsletter feels open to anyone who wants to write a section about their project. If you have anything you can write about, just add a comment to this issue and I'll add it to the todo list smile

Current Schedule

The soft deadline for all section PRs is 2021.04.06.
Review and Release will take place on 2021.04~~.08~~ .09 .10.

⚠️ It was decided to try a shorter and more limited section format: ⚠️

  • Only one image (<300kb) or GIF (<2.5mb) before the text. With an optional caption and a mandatory alt text.

  • All the (rendered) text should be under 1000 characters (including spaces and punctuation) and under 6 paragraphs (without any subsections, etc).

  • No bold/italic/etc formatting - only links and one plain list without nesting per section (multiple lists are allowed if your project consists of multiple parts that aren't independent enough for their own sections).

  • Third-person perspective.

  • 80 chars per MD line and no other markdownlint warnings on CI.

  • Only the following simple templates are allowed:

I don't even remember what's new in the GL crates that was an entire months ago. It's better than before somehow, I'm sure.

I’d like to write about sm64js.
I know that it hasn’t been posted in March, but I hope this is still okay. Since we’re having a stress test in April, this would be really helpful

My project isn't a game as such as I don't think I would have much to contribute anyway

Would a template repository for bevy games fit in here (maybe under Learning materials)?
