I'm not even a rust dev, but this is one of the best podcasts/stream channels I've ever seen. A literal one stop shop for all things about rust game dev. As someone who's kind of figuring out where to go and start in game development with mountains of questions, this is amazing. Came here for the Hathom talk, stayed for most of the rest even though it's ten month old information

Thanks again for the stream! I always look forward to it!

22:59 - Hmmm why is the Croatian translation included? Kane proceeds to explain that Sponza is in Croatia and I think to myself what the hell is a Sponza. Quickly google it, it seems like it's a palace in Dubrovnik, i click on the images tab and notice the red, white, blue flags and then I remember that I saw the very same scene in another Rust game engine showcase (so this must be some game dev thing). Google some more and find "Sponza - A common scene used in rendering testbeds to investigate novel lighting techniques." had no idea about this and I'm from Croatia x)

Hey Kane, you mention that the main reasons for not building Hotham as a Bevy plugin is that Bevy is not ready yet.
Does this mean that you'll eventually consider making it a Bevy plugin, or is it too late for that now?
I understand that you have every right to make your own project, and Hotham looks really cool. I wish you all the luck with it.
But from a selfish reason I'd love to just have to learn one game engine, instead of two.
